Maintenance Page Pro extends the Maintenance Page plugin for WordPress sites that are temporarily unavailable, undergoing an upgrade, or still in development. It adds settings for the page visitors see while work is underway.

Set up the visitor page

The base plugin provides a responsive maintenance or coming-soon layout. Add a logo, background picture or color, social icons, font color, title, and message. A subscriber field can collect email addresses, which can be downloaded as a CSV file. The base options also include custom CSS and page exclusions.

Choose the Pro options you need

Add a counter, contact form, or progress bar. Connect the subscriber capability with MailChimp. For the page's appearance, use a background image slider or video, select from the available Google font setting, and adjust font size. You can also add analytic code or an About Page for extra information.

The IP Whitelist allows specified IP addresses, while role-based access handles access according to user roles. Check how these options behave on your site before relying on them to control who can view the page.

Activate the maintenance page

Install and activate Maintenance Page, then open Settings → Maintenance Page → General and check Activate the Maintenance Page. Configure the branding, background, message, social icons, subscriber field, and any Pro settings the project needs.

To check changes, view the page in another browser while logged out. If caching add-ons are present, purge the cache or deactivate caching temporarily while testing activation and design changes.
