Temporary index page

    Hi,

    I would like to be able to use a different page as my home page whilst developing the site. Ideally, I’d like to be able to simply direct my site to use my temporary page as the “front page” until the rest of the site is ready. I don’t just want an under construction page – I want to be able to have a specific pre-registration form on this page.

    I’ve looked for a plug in that can handle this but can’t find one that does what I want.

    If I use Directory index temporary.php, index.html, indx.php in my htaccess file would that work?

    Any help appreciated….

    Thanks

    Thanks Jack, but that doesn’t really do what I want it do as far as I can tell… Ideally I want to be able to build a page on my site as normal – and then tell the system to use that page as the front page until I tell it to stop and revert to the “real” front page….

    Maintenance plugin allow WordPress site administrator close the website for maintenance, enable “503 Service temporarily unavailable”, set a temporary page with authorization, which can be edited via the plugin settings. Easy customize, good look on all devices. Add your logo, background image, select the desired color, add text. Extended version of the plugin includes more settings that appear after installation PRO extension plugin.

    yeah it does.
