GDPR mode is allowing people to access many other pages!

Hello @slimmyweight,

Sorry to hear that. I’ve tried to reproduce this behavior, but it works fine in my test environment.
I recommend double-checking the settings. If the URL of the privacy page is http://domain.com/privacy-page/, you should add privacy-page or /privacy-page/ to Exclude.

@slimmyweight: The plugin is not using the header or the footer to prevent people visiting the website. I assume (because I don’t have access to the source code) that Thrive Architect is messing around template_redirect hook.

So, let’s try something. Open wp-content/plugins/wp-maintenance-mode/includes/classes/wp-maintenance-mode.php, and change template_redirect action priority… by replacing this line:

add_action((is_admin() ? 'init' : 'template_redirect'), array($this, 'init'));

with this line:

add_action((is_admin() ? 'init' : 'template_redirect'), array($this, 'init'), 9);

@slimmyweight Unfortunately, I can’t do more without having access to the files because I can’t replicate the issue.

Also will this code be replaced everytime the plugin is updated so Ill need to remember to keep replacing it?

Yes, you have to replace the code after each plugin update.

Later edit: Could you please post some screenshots with your plugin settings and the URLs where the maintenance doesn’t work? Maybe I’m missing something.

@slimmyweight maybe they have changed something inside Thrive Architect code base.

Try a lower hook priority (from 8 to 7 or 6).

add_action((is_admin() ? 'init' : 'template_redirect'), array($this, 'init'), 7);
