Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Maintenance Mode & Site Under Construction

Yes! Just click on any text block (eyebrow tag, main headline, description message, or button text) in the live preview and start typing. Your changes are mirrored in the settings in real time.

No. The plugin sends an official HTTP 503 Service Unavailable header accompanied by a Retry-After: 3600 response header. This explicitly signals search engines that your site is undergoing temporary maintenance so they do not drop or de-index your URLs.

Yes. Under the Access & Role Bypass accordion in the sidebar, simply check the user roles you want to grant access to (e.g., Editor, Author, Subscriber).

If you enable Auto-Disable, the plugin will automatically turn off maintenance mode the moment the timer reaches zero, and the frontend will reload to reveal your live site to visitors.

Customize your layout, background, and colors in the visual editor. Then scroll to the bottom of the Design & Styling panel and click Save as preset. Your design is saved into your wp-content/uploads/mm-suc-p-templates/ directory as an independent, update-safe template folder.
