Plugin · Free with no premium tier
A secure maintenance, coming-soon, and private construction mode with administrator bypass and correct HTTP behavior.
What it can do
- Short maintenance profile with HTTP 503 and configurable Retry-After
- Prelaunch profile with a meaningful HTTP 200 homepage and real 404s elsewhere
- Private staging protection for the front end, REST, feeds, oEmbed, and XML-RPC
- Limited-operation profile with a banner and optional commerce, forms, and comment restrictions
- Schedules, backing pages, role and IP allowlists, trusted proxies, and webhook exclusions
- Shared-password sessions, one-time invite links, and emergency bypass
- Combined IP, email, and site-wide login throttling
- Managed draft pages excluded from WordPress sitemaps
- Configurable retention and daily cleanup
- WordPress privacy export and erase callbacks
- Cache/CDN headers, diagnostics, and expected response-code guidance
- Bounded activity logging without retaining raw client IP addresses
Designed for practical setup
This product is built for churches and site administrators who need a complete, understandable workflow without being forced into a paid upgrade. The interface uses normal WordPress permissions and APIs, and optional companion integrations fail gracefully when they are not installed.
Requirements
- WordPress and PHP versions listed in the included readme
- An administrator account for installation and setup
- A current backup before changing a production site
Typical setup
- Download and upload the plugin under Plugins > Add Plugin.
- Activate it and review its settings before publishing content.
- Test the primary workflow on a staging site or with sample content.
- Use the documentation and community forum when you need guidance.
