Great work, perfect for devs

Easy and simple

I spent an hour looking for an easy way to put a new project in maintenance mode. Seems like WordPress should have that built in. Simple Maintenance was the answer for what I was looking for. Took two minutes to install and active. Easy!

A simple maintenance page plugin with no b/s or pestering to upgrade to pro [why would you need to do that]. Thanks

Simple, light, the best.

You don't need any fancy-heavy maintenance page plugin when you can use this simple and ultra light plugin. It is also easy to customize if you want, but the default is more than enough. Great and free plugin. No ads.

Great plugin

Really simple and to the point. Exactly what I was looking for. I just had to modify the message and the styles a bit.

Work properly

Does what it says

I've been using this plugin on a number of my sites for a few months. It is exactly what it says and it works well.

Did not work at all

By ts007 on September 3, 2016

Did not work at all, installed and activated with no problems but never displayed a maintenance page. I tried flushing the cache, turning off the CDN, all sorts. Still just showed my site when I visited it, logged in or out, different browsers, everything I could think of. Using latest version of wordpress.
