Just sends generic 503

    Unfortunately the splash page doesn’t work, and the plugin just sends a generic 503 HTTP response, so visitors see “The service is unavailable” and nothing else.

    So it’s good to keep search engines from crawling the site during maintenance, but it’s not very visitor-friendly. I suppose I’ll give it a 2/5 because it does actually put it into maintenance mode, but it doesn’t deliver as promised. None of the splash pages actually load.

    You have nginx ? If yes, then you should modify the vhost file because the error pages are replaced with nginx default pages. If you have something like this:

    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;

    You should remove 503 error code and restart nginx:

    error_page 500 502 504 /50x.html;

    So… the plugin works fine. 🙂
