You always see the real site while editing. ### What’s the difference between Maintenance and Coming Soon mode? Maintenance sends HTTP 503 (Service Unavailable) — this tells search engines your site is temporarily down and to come back later. Coming Soon sends HTTP 200 (OK)— better for new sites not yet indexed. ### How do I collect subscriber emails? Enable the Subscribe form under Features tab. Emails are stored in your WordPress database. You can export them as CSV from the same tab. ### Can I keep some pages publicly accessible during maintenance? Yes. Enter page slugs or IDs (comma-separated) in the “Excluded Pages” field under General settings. ### Does it work with any theme? Yes. The maintenance page completely replaces the theme output, so it works with any WordPress theme. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “WP Simple Maintenance” is open source software.
