Description
A plugin to temporarily disable your website front-end and display a message
to your visitors while still allowing back-end access. This plugin can be
enabled or disabled with one click and also supports using your own custom
HTML/CSS output for the splash page so you can make it as simple or as custom
as you need it to be.
This plugin is especially useful if you need to temporarily make your site
unavailable to your visitors. For example, you’re working on a new blog or
website and you want to show a temporary “coming soon” page to your visitors
while you’re working on it; or you’re fixing major bugs that would disrupt the
user experience and need to make the front-end temporarily unavailable; or any
other reason that you would need to make your website temporarily unavailable.
This plugin can be configured to allow admin users (you) to still be able to
view the front-end while the splash page is enabled. If other users need to be
able to review the site, you can enable authenticated users and/or specific IP
addresses to be able to bypass the splash page as well.
Common uses for this plugin:
Displaying a splash page while you develop your blog or website
Temporarily making your site unavailable to visitors while you fix bugs, etc
Disabling a site if a client refuses to pay (we’ve all been there)
