Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Simple Maintenance Redirect
<?php
add_filter( 'smredirect_redirect_rules', function( $checks, $page_id, $request_uri ) {
// Allow access to a specific user (with ID 37)
$checks[ 'not_john_smith' ] = get_current_user_id() !== 37;
// Allow access to a specific role
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$checks[ 'not_editor' ] = !in_array( 'editor', (array) $user->roles, true );
// Always return checks
return $checks;
}, 10, 3 );
?>
Where can I request features and get further support?
We recommend using our website support forum as the primary method for requesting features and getting help. You can also reach out via our Discord support server or the WordPress.org support forum, but please note that WordPress.org doesn’t always notify us of new posts, so it’s not ideal for time-sensitive issues.
Why does the redirect sometimes stay after I disable maintenance mode?
If a redirect was issued previously as a permanent redirect (HTTP 301) it can be cached by browsers and upstream caches (CDNs, reverse proxies). A cached 301 tells clients "this URL has moved permanently" and many browsers and proxies will continue using the cached result without checking the origin again.

The plugin explicitly sends temporary redirects (HTTP 302) and uses no-cache headers to avoid creating new cached permanent redirects.
We also provide a JavaScript fallback (enqueued script) for rare situations where headers were already sent before the redirect could be emitted.

Browser: Ask affected users to hard-refresh the page or clear their browser cache. On most browsers a hard refresh is Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (macOS).
CDN / Reverse Proxy: If you use Cloudflare, Fastly, Varnish, nginx proxy_cache, or another caching layer, purge the cache for the affected URL (or do a full purge if necessary). On Cloudflare you can purge a single URL from the dashboard or use their API.
Server configs: Ensure no server-level rewrite or redirect (nginx/apache) has permanently redirected the route.
