Plugin deleted, still showing construction page on homepage

Figured out my caching issue, though changing to 3 stars because it’s still a frustrating UI. Why are <style> tags not allowed in the HTML view? This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago

My goto under construction, always

No bells, no wistles, just straight forward. You can make whatever you want with this since the plugin let you add whatever code you wan’t to display to eaarly visitors.

Good add-on for a good plugin

The Public Post Preview plugin is almost perfect, but I miss a configuration interface. This plugin adds a UI. Great!
