Getting Started

ID Maintenance Mode is a lightweight WordPress plugin that blocks frontend access to your site with a customizable maintenance page. Administrators always bypass the maintenance page, and a shareable link lets clients preview the site without a WordPress account.

What This Plugin Does

  • One-click maintenance mode — Enable or disable with a single checkbox.
  • Custom maintenance page — Set a background color, background image, and rich text content.
  • Content block styling — Choose a background color for the content container, or make it transparent.
  • Shareable bypass link — Generate a URL that sets a 7-day cookie, letting clients browse the site while everyone else sees the maintenance page.
  • Admin bar indicator — A yellow-highlighted “Maintenance Mode” item appears in the admin bar when the mode is active, linking directly to the settings page.
  • SEO-safe — Returns a 503 status code with a Retry-After header so search engines know the outage is temporary.

Who Can Use It

Only users with the manage_options capability (Administrators by default) can access the settings page. Administrators always bypass the maintenance page automatically — no bypass link needed.
