Display a fully customisable coming soon and maintenance page to your WordPress site. Use the basic pages provided by the plugin or add your own template to your child theme.
No complicated settings, and no visual builders. Just a straightforward one-button setup so you can focus on building your website.
The plugin also blocks access via the REST API and via XML-RPC so users can’t jump to see what you are building.
Full Options
- None – Doesn’t block access to the site
- Blank Screen – Only displays a white screen
- Maintenance Mode – Displays maintenance mode text (Editable via the “Maintenance Mode Options” page in settings)
- Basic Message – Displays a basic message (Editable via the “Basic Message Options” page in settings)
- Use Template – Displays your theme’s own coming soon page: a coming_soon.php file in a classic theme, or the “Coming Soon” template in a block theme (edit it in Appearance > Editor > Templates, or add templates/coming-soon.html to your theme)
- Login Screen – Redirects all requests to the login screen
Maintenance Mode answers with a 503 status and a Retry-After header, so search engines know the outage is temporary. The login screen, wp-admin, WP-Cron and admin-ajax keep working, and anybody with the bypass capability sees the site as normal.
The only place to download this plugin is from the WordPress Repo! Once downloaded, activate from the Plugins admin screen.
Frequently asked questions.
The IP allowlist does not work behind my proxy or CDN
Turn on “My site is behind a proxy or CDN (e.g. Cloudflare)” in the settings. The allowlist then uses the visitor address the proxy passes on: CF-Connecting-IP, then the first public address in X-Forwarded-For, then X-Real-IP. Leave it off if your site is not behind a proxy, because anybody can send those headers. Developers can also return the address from the ez-coming-soon/client_ip filter.
