Administrators and other permitted roles bypass the screen automatically — so you can always log in and see the real site. **Features** * One-click enable/disable toggle * Three page modes: Coming Soon, Maintenance (503), Landing Page * Multiple templates per mode, including Dark, Mystry, Neon Glow, Warning, and Contact * Logo upload via WordPress media library * Background colour picker and background image upload * Optional countdown timer with auto-hide when the date expires * SEO meta title and description fields * Configurable role bypass — choose which roles see the real site * Translation ready * Zero external API calls, no tracking, no ads ### Arbitrary Sections **Support** For support, contact: * Email: mail@zulkaif.com * Website: https:// zulkaif.com * Plugin URI: https://zulkaif.com/ifelse.html **Author** Zulkaif Riaz – https://zulkaif.com Shaham Abbas – https://shahamabbas. online ## Screenshots [⌊Settings page for choosing a template.⌉⌊Settings page for choosing a template.⌉[ Settings page for choosing a template.

Go to **Settings IfElse Pages** to configure. ## FAQ ### Will administrators always see the real site? Yes. Administrators bypass the screen by default. You can adjust which roles bypass it in the Settings tab. ### Does this affect the REST API or wp-admin? No. The intercept only runs on standard front-end page loads. ### What HTTP status code does Maintenance Mode send? Maintenance Mode sends a `503 Service Unavailable` header. Coming Soon and Landing Page send `200 OK`. ### Is the plugin translation ready? Yes. All strings use the `ifelse-pages-coming-soon-and-maintenance-mode` text domain and a `.pot` file is included in `/languages/`. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6ec389c6e78a3361c8283423875760c353ba69b37f2a3408e90de83aaa9480e4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and Quick to Set Up, but Limited in Functionality](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-quick-to-set-up-but-limited-in-functionality/)󠁿 [emarojas](https://profiles.wordpress.org/emarojas/) April 18, 2026 2 replies Easy to use and quick to set up. The plugin works well for basic “Coming Soon” pages and includes useful features like a countdown and a contact form. However, the plugin applies changes to the entire website, and it is not clear how to limit it to specific pages or sections. Some features are also unclear or limited, and the maintenance mode did not always work as expected. It would benefit from better flexibility and clearer options. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e5d59eb473e883fcb5d751bf7a468204d3362583c37659f081370df4612666a0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and effective maintenance mode plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-effective-maintenance-mode-plugin/)󠁿 [Johnny Moises Bustos Arguedas](https://profiles.wordpress.org/moisesbustos/) April 7, 2026 1 reply I tested this plugin in a local WordPress environment to evaluate its functionality. The installation process was straightforward and did not present any issues. I used the maintenance mode feature and it worked as expected, allowing me to display a custom message while restricting access to visitors. The interface is simple and easy to understand, which makes it suitable for basic use. Overall, the plugin delivers what it promises. It is a lightweight option for enabling maintenance mode without unnecessary complexity. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6c93612d76eea905d227df0e55948b6859affca8d9b2a99a4130c574e279c791? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great overall](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-overall-10/)󠁿 [zubairmax](https://profiles.wordpress.org/zubairmax/) March 29, 2026 It worked good for me [ Read all 3 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ifelse-pages-coming-soon-and-maintenance-mode/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “IfElse Pages – Coming Soon and Maintenance Mode” is open source software.
