 * make sure the plugin is set to ON. if you click preview you can see the outcome.
 * the plugin only displays Under Construction to users that are not logged in. 
   It is made this way so that you as the admin can still manage the site while 
   everyone else sees “Under Construction”

 * What an odd review. I have tried several Under Construction plugins and have 
   been generally unhappy with them for one reason or another, which is why I am
   relieved to have finally found one that works the way an Under Construction plugin
   is supposed to work and which I have confidently added to my repository of go-
   to plugins. I am not affiliated with WP Under Construction in any way, other 
   than as a user of this plugin. I am just a very, very busy freelance web designer.

 * [@barkingbird](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barkingbird/) glad you like
   the plugin and thank you for your comment !
 * I also found this review odd, as it didn’t specify what was wrong, simply just
   a generic comment from a generic username. Looking into the username, one will
   quickly notice that the account was created right before posting of the comment,
   and has had no activity since.
 * Not sure if the review is an honest user, or someone just messing around to lower
   down this plugins rating, as 1 star reviews do bring down the overall rating 
   significantly, which is unfortunate because overall the plugin has a high number
   of satisfied users, and the rating doesn’t reflect the actual user-experience.
 * thank you for taking the time to place your comments

 * ahhh, sure looks like a competitor trying to knock you down. I saw another bad
   review and in it you replied that she should look at your Support screen to see
   that you resolve issues quickly. I took a look at that screen and was impressed.
   I always enjoy seeing the plugin author’s name as the last poster, line after
   line, like yours. Looking at the Support screen of a potential new plugin has
   become one of my heavily-weighted decision factors. Great job on your part. You
   may want to encourage more people to rate your plugin. the guys at T[he Event Calendar](https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/)
   are good at encouraging people to leave a rating – check it out.
