Administrators keep seeing the real site. **Features** * Three modes: Off, Coming Soon (HTTP 200) and Maintenance (HTTP 503 + Retry-After, SEO safe) * One-click switch in the admin top bar, with a coloured status indicator * Countdown timer with optional automatic go-live * Logo, background image, overlay, text and accent colours * Separate headline and message for each mode * Contact button and social links (Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube) * Secret bypass link to share with clients — no login needed * Allow selected user roles and IP addresses to see the live site * Exclude specific pages (e.g. /privacy-policy or /landing/*) * Optional REST API blocking * Page title, meta description and noindex control * Preview without turning the mode on * Tells caching plugins not to cache the holding page * Translation ready, clean uninstall ## Screenshots [⌊Coming Soon page with countdown, contact button and social links.⌉⌊Coming Soon page with countdown, contact button and social links.⌉[ Coming Soon page with countdown, contact button and social links.

Upload the `sitehold` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the zip via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to Settings SiteHold, choose a mode and customise your page. 4. Use the SiteHold item in the admin top bar to switch modes at any time. ## FAQ ### I enabled it but I still see my site. You are logged in as an administrator, who always sees the live site. Open your site in a private window or use the Preview buttons. ### Which mode should I use? Use Coming Soon for a site that has not launched yet. Use Maintenance for short downtime — it sends a 503 status so search engines don’t drop your pages. ### I still see the page after turning it off. Clear your caching plugin / CDN cache. ### Can I use my own template? Yes. Use the `sitehold_template` filter to return the path of your own PHP template. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SiteHold – Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode” is open source software.
