### Source Code and Build Instructions

The complete human-readable source and build configuration are included in this 
plugin:

 * `assets/js/admin.js` and `assets/js/frontend.js`: JavaScript source.
 * `assets/css/admin.scss` and `assets/css/frontend.scss`: stylesheet source.
 * `webpack.config.js`, `package.json`, and `package-lock.json`: build configuration
   and dependency lockfile.
 * `assets/dist/`: generated production JavaScript and CSS.

To rebuild assets, use Node.js 22 and npm 10, run `npm ci`, then `npm run build`
from the plugin directory. No build is needed to install or use the plugin.

The bundled Composer autoloader is generated from `composer.json` and `composer.
lock`. Regenerate it with `composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader`. Composer’s
autoloader is MIT licensed; its license is included in `vendor/composer/LICENSE`.
No third-party PHP runtime packages are bundled.

### Privacy

Subscriber email addresses, IP addresses, and subscription dates are stored in this
site’s database. Visit counters are also stored locally; a one-hour cookie prevents
repeated counting. A secret-access link sets a one-day bypass cookie. The plugin
does not send these records to the developer or an external analytics service.

The optional Elementor installation button downloads Elementor from WordPress.org
only after an administrator confirms installation. Elementor templates require Elementor
to be installed and active. All four bundled templates work without Elementor, payment,
or a license key.

## FAQ

### How do I enable Coming Soon or Maintenance Mode?

Navigate to **Coming Soon  General** in your WordPress admin. Switch the **Enable
Coming Soon Mode** toggle to **ON** and click Save Changes. Your public visitors
will immediately see your selected template.

### Can I preview my Coming Soon page without logging out?

Yes! Click the **Live Preview** button in the header toolbar to preview your active
template in a new tab at any time.

### What is the difference between Coming Soon and Maintenance Mode?

 * **Coming Soon Mode** is typically used before a new website launches. It can 
   return an HTTP 200 OK status code, allowing search engines to index your domain
   and meta descriptions.
 * **Maintenance Mode** is used when performing temporary updates to an established
   website. It returns an HTTP 503 Service Unavailable header with a `Retry-After`
   header, instructing search crawlers to come back later without penalizing existing
   search rankings.

### How can my client or team view the live website without logging in?

In **Coming Soon  Access Control**, enable the **Secret Access URL** feature and
define a passkey. You can share this direct link with your client. When they click
it, a secure temporary cookie is stored and they can browse the full website as 
normal.

### Can I use Elementor to build my Coming Soon page?

Yes! In **Coming Soon  General**, change the **Template Mode** from _Default Templates_
to _Elementor Templates_. You can select any saved template from your Elementor 
Template Library.

### How do I export my collected subscriber emails?

Go to **Coming Soon  Subscribers** and click the **Export to CSV** button at the
top right. A `.csv` file containing all email addresses, sign-up dates, and IP addresses
will download immediately.

### Does this plugin slow down my website?

Not at all. DITS Coming Soon & Maintenance Pages uses lightweight, vanilla CSS and
optimized JavaScript with zero external font requests. Database queries are cached
and minimal.
