Excellent and simple – does what it needs to do
by DingoBlue·1 month ago
Very simple to set up and very versatile. The “under maintenance” page presented quickly and professionally.

very good plugin. All what you need. Very intuitive, no bullshit, no shiny useless crap, and straightforward to handle.
and free.
Great Plugin. Minor omission
by ebrabich2·6 months ago
Does everything it promises. Small & customisable. Minus 1 star for omitting Bluesky option when there’s 16 other social networks listed.
Use with caution and at your own risk – can break your site
by John Bradfield·6 months ago
After many days of customization, broke my site on uninstalling the plugin. Install this plugin at your own risk :-{
Small and useful
by mailchef·8 months ago
I like it. Small and useful. Does what it is supposed to do. Merci!
Small problems:
- Link to Honeypotexplanation file not working
- Translation problems “Choice”. Should be “Chose”
- Logic problem in options: Display in Admin bar? Yes, remove display in admin bar. Should just be “Display in Admin bar? Yes.
- Unclear what it means if site displays roles with a maintenance screen.
