WP Maintenance PRO

WP Maintenance PRO is the paid edition of the Maintenance extension. Its builder lets WordPress administrators show a maintenance, coming soon, or landing page while website work is underway or before a launch.

Page styling and messaging

Choose from more than 200 PRO themes, then add a logo and background picture. Backstretch supports a full-screen background, and a blur effect is also available. Configure font, icon, and background colors, then edit the title, headline, and main text to suit the notice or announcement.

Visitor access and response status

Frontend login lets selected users reach the website while the maintenance page is active. Administrators can use their usual WordPress administrator access or create a WordPress visitor for access. The admin bar shows maintenance status, and selected pages can be excluded from maintenance mode.

The 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable response can be enabled or disabled. When it is enabled, the site will not be visible to search engines. Review this setting before turning on maintenance mode.

Analytics, fonts, and compatibility

Google Analytics support is available for the temporary page. The plugin uses Bunny Fonts. When neither Bunny Fonts nor Google Analytics is used, no resources are loaded or shared with third parties, and nothing is tracked. Using either service results in data sharing or tracking as described in its terms of service.

The plugin supports all popular caching add-ons. The mtnc_load_maintenance_page_for_this_user filter lets developers modify who sees the maintenance page.

Installation and setup

Install the Maintenance plugin in WordPress, activate it, and open its settings from the admin menu. In the builder, select a theme, add the logo and background, configure colors, and write the page text. Then set visitor access, analytics preferences, page exclusions, and the 503 status to match the site's needs.

For site work, administrators can enable maintenance mode while retaining administrator access. For a launch, a coming soon layout can display customized text. For an announcement, selected pages can remain outside maintenance mode while other users see the temporary page.
