Hi Nestor – It can be really useful :-) For quick fixes/changes I don’t use it but for other things I do.

Oh wow Can’t believe I never found out about this plugin.. Always wondered what happens if someone sees my site and the code is messed up etc. Thanks a bunch!

Cheers,

Nestor

You continue to awe me with new ideas and things to use, such as this. I presumed such a plugin existed…and of course you had the goods. Thank you, Kim. No response necessary.

Hi Stephane – Once the plugin is installed and activated, there is an options page under Settings > Maintenance Mode. There is an area on that page to customize the page that visitors will see.

Hi!

I just activated the maintenance mode plugin and would really love to put my own page / image to replace the default one…you know something more in the vein of “coming soon” rather than saying it will be back in 60 minutes.

You mentionned about it breifly and even after reading about the plugin itself, I still don’t get how to do this?

Can you help?

Thanx in advance!

Stephane

@Ben – Thank you for visiting and commenting.

The plugin compatibility list says Maintenance Mode version 3.2+ is compatible with 2.7.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Plugin_Compatibility/2.7

I just tested version 4.1 on another site I have running 2.7 and it worked fine. Are you using version 3.2 or higher? Do you have any other plugins installed that may be causing a conflict?

Does this plugin work with WP2.7 or not? I have had no luck on 2 separate sites that run on WP2.7. Installs fine, can change any options I want. But reload the homepage, and just get… nothing. No change to the homepage, as if the plugin doesn’t exist.

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

Hgrg – Are you deactivating it when you are done using it or when you are going to do work on your site?

Hello!
My problem is that when i’d like to deactivate it it logs me out and do not let me log in while the redirect line is in the URL…
