Users with the ‘edit_themes’ capability are still able to access the site when maintenance is enabled.

Features:

  • Enable/disable maintenance mode
  • Page title, headline, maintenance information and check back message are customizable through the dashboard
  • The end date and time for the countdown can be set through the settings page on the dashboard
  • The countdown starts counting upwards if the end time is exceeded
