DIY Maintenance

by Holovid

Description

DIY Maintenance is the simplest way to activate a maintenance mode on your WordPress site, without bloating your system with unnecessary features.
It allows you to:

Choose any existing page to act as your maintenance screen
Enable or disable maintenance mode with a single checkbox
Ensure logged-in administrators can always access the full site

No coding. No shortcodes. No custom post types. Just click and go.

Arbitrary section

Built with simplicity in mind, no custom frontend output or settings clutter.

Installation

Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Go to Settings > DIY Maintenance to configure.

Screenshots

Settings screen: choose a page and activate maintenance mode.
Visitors get redirected to the selected "Coming Soon" page.

Faq

Will it block search engines?

Yes, only the selected page will be visible. Everything else is redirected.

Can I still work on the site while it’s active?

Yes, if you’re logged in as an administrator.
