Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about editant Maintenance
No. The WordPress admin area and the login page are always reachable, and administrators always bypass maintenance mode regardless of the role settings. If you can log in, you can turn maintenance mode off again.
Everyone who is not logged in, plus any logged-in user whose roles are not on the bypass list. Administrators always bypass. AJAX, REST API, and cron requests are allowed through so scheduled jobs and integrations keep working.
No. While maintenance mode is on, front-end requests return an HTTP 503 with a Retry-After header - the response search engines expect during planned downtime - and the holding page is marked noindex. When you switch maintenance mode off, your normal pages return as usual.
This is almost always page caching. If a page was cached before you enabled maintenance mode, that cached copy keeps being served and WordPress never runs for those requests, so the maintenance page is never generated. To confirm caching is the cause, visit your site with a unique query string, for example https://yoursite.com/?x=12345. If that shows the maintenance page while the normal address does not, a cache is serving the old copy. There are two kinds of cache to think about: Caching plugins (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed, WP Fastest Cache, SiteGround Optimizer, Cache Enabler, Nginx Helper, Autoptimize). editant Maintenance clears these automatically each time you switch maintenance mode on or off, so they normally need no action. Host, server, and CDN caches (a server-level Varnish or Nginx cache, or a CDN such as Cloudflare). These sit in front of WordPress and cannot be cleared by any plugin. If your site uses one, clear it once from your hosting control panel or CDN dashboard after enabling maintenance mode, or wait for its cache to expire. A quick check: if the response headers include Via: ... Varnish, X-Varnish, X-Cache, or CF-Cache-Status, a host or CDN cache is in play.
Open your site in your browser's developer tools, look at the Network tab, and inspect the response headers for the main page. Headers such as Via, X-Varnish, X-Cache, Age, X-LiteSpeed-Cache, or CF-Cache-Status tell you a host, server, or CDN cache is active and will need a manual purge. Your host's documentation or support can tell you where to clear it.
You can set the title, subtitle, text colours, and a full-screen background image, and choose what appears at the top of the page: the editant logo and name (the default), your own logo and/or name, or nothing at all. The page layout and typography are self-contained, so they look the same on any theme.
Yes. Each site keeps its own settings, and uninstalling removes the plugin's settings from every site in the network.
Deactivate and delete the plugin from the Plugins page. The plugin's uninstall.php removes its single settings row. It creates no custom tables and no capabilities.
