Who is this plugin for?

For anyone who wants to display a under construction / maintenance page while they’re doing work on their site.

Will this plugin slow my site down?

Absolutely not.

Will it work on my theme?

Sure! Under construction works 100% with all themes.

Will it work with my plugins?

Sure! It works 100% with all plugins.

What changes will it make to my site?

None. Once you disable the under construction page your site will function as it did before.

It’s not working!!! Arrrrrrrrr

We did our very best to make Under Construction compatible with all plugins and themes, but problems can still happen. No worries, head over to the support forum open a new thread, and we’ll help you ASAP.

How can I work on my site while under construction mode is enabled?

Make sure your user role (probably admin) is selected under Access – Whitelisted User Roles option and open the site while logged in.

How can I log in / access WordPress admin after under construction mode has been enabled?

Enable the Login Button option (found in Content tab), and a login link will be shown in the lower right corner of the under construction page.

How do I add my logo to the page?

Head over to the Content tab and click “Add Media”. Upload/select the logo, position it as you see fit and add other content.

I’ve made changes to UCP, but they are not visible. What do I do?

Click “Save Changes” one more time. Open your site and force refresh browser cache (Ctrl or Shift + F5). If that doesn’t help it means you have a caching plugin installed. Purge/delete cache in that plugin or disable it.

How can I get more designs? Where do I download them?

We update the plugin every 7-10 days and each update comes with at least one new theme/design. There is no other way to get more designs nor a place to download them.

How can I edit designs?

There is an option to add custom CSS. If you want more than that you will have to edit the source files located in /under-construction-page/themes/.

I have disabled UCP but the under construction page is still visible. How do I remove it?

Open your site and force refresh browser cache (Ctrl or Shift + F5). If that doesn’t help it means you have a caching plugin installed. Purge/delete cache in that plugin or disable it. If that fails too contact your hosting provider and ask them to empty the site cache for you.

Is UCP compatible with caching plugins?

UCP is compatible with all caching plugins. However, please note that we automatically empty cache when UCP status is changed only for the following plugins: W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Endurance Page Cache, SiteGround SuperCacher and WP Fastest Cache.

How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities. Report a security vulnerability.

NOT working!

By bambi26 on February 1, 2026

not protecting anything, the homepage is very much visible after enabling this plugin
Don't use!

Simple and perfect for the job.

By sendgo on January 26, 2026

Simple enough to quickly choose a template and enable the 'under construction' page. Pro version has better templates but the free version works well too.

Parfaitement fonctionnel, fait le taff !

By ahlaboulette on January 9, 2026

Super plugin, léger, simple à l'utilisation, fait le taf pour tous mes sites en preprod, stagin, test, maintenance, et j'en passe, utilisé depuis un peu plus d'un an, jamais été ennuyé, vraiment merci !

Valet Parking Companies templates are beautiful

By valetparkingdubai on October 21, 2025

Never seen such beautiful websites in the category of cars and valet parking. As a part of 1st Class Valet parking company in Dubai, I must say all the web templates that are associated with hospitality, Dubai and cars are beautiful.

Great plugin

By what1 on August 29, 2025

Plugin is great, fast and easy install and setup, works as it should. Thanks!

Everything is PRO

By markozi on August 11, 2025

The free version is practically useless – key features, including basic things like the "secret link", are locked behind the PRO version. This feels more like bait to buy than an actual free tool. If they keep all the important features in PRO anyway, they should just clearly state it’s only a demo.

Too many settings

By Nicu Danciu on June 4, 2025

Too many settings to setup a single Under Construction Page. Almost everybody needs a simple setup with one click and one row of text, but here you need to include or exclude list of people. No, these is not what we need.

Use it on all my sites

By sekirk on May 8, 2025

Just a great plugin, does the job well without much fuss.
