Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Build Mode – Maintenance Mode & Coming Soon Page

Yes — use any page built with the Block Editor, Classic Editor or a page builder.

Yes. Logged‑in users with the required capability (default: manage_options) bypass Build Mode.

By default, Build Mode sends HTTP 503 + Retry-After headers to signal temporary downtime. If you're running a coming‑soon or teaser page and want search engines to index it normally, uncheck "Send 503 status code" in the settings to serve a 200 OK response instead.

Yes. By selecting a specific page in the plugin settings, you can show a custom coming‑soon or under‑construction screen while you build or redesign your site.

By default, only Administrators can toggle it. Developers can change this using the build_mode_capability filter.

Yes, Build Mode provides two filters. build_mode_capability — Change the capability required to manage Build Mode. Example (allow Editors): add_filter( 'build_mode_capability', function () { return 'edit_pages'; } ); build_mode_retry_after — Control the Retry‑After header value (in seconds). Default is 24 hours (DAY_IN_SECONDS). Example (set to 1 hour): add_filter( 'build_mode_retry_after', function () { return HOUR_IN_SECONDS; } );
