Usage & Options

Activation and further options

To activate the Maintenance Mode, navigate to WordPress Administration » Settings » Maintenance Mode, select ‚Activate‘ and save the options. You can also change the message and various other options.

Template Tag is_maintenance()

You can use the template tag is_maintenance() to display a message in the theme when the maintenance mode is activated. This is helpful to not forget the enabled maintenance mode when you are logged in to WordPress. You can add it to the header.php or index.php of the theme, example:

<?php if (function_exists('is_maintenance') && is_maintenance() ) {
	echo '<div style="padding: 3px; margin: 10px 0 10px 0; border: 2px solid red;">The Maintenance Mode is activated. Please don\'t forget to <a href="/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=maintenance-mode.php">deactivate</a> it as soon as you are done.</div>';
}?>

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Although I deactiveted the plugin, my feeds still show the maintenance mode page. What is going wrong?
    A: This has nothing to do with the plugin directly, some other sofware is still caching your feed. Are you using feedburner? Then you should ping your blog, but please note that feedburner is not very quick, so it may take a few minutes until your feed is being displayed correctly again.
  • Q: After I have deactivated the plugin, it is still showing up in Google, but when you click on the link it brings you to the live site.
    A: In general you are depending on the „Google Spider“ to re-index your website. You can try to re-add your website, but the spider will return in regular waves anyhow. Check Google indexing questions for more information.
    Also, please note that Google is not very fast with re-indexing, so it can take even a week or more for Google spiders to get back to your website.
  • Q: When surfing on my blog with the Maintenance Mode activated with Internet Explorer and Safari, both browsers want to download the maintenance splash page instead of displaying. The content-type is utf8_general_ci as http header.
    A: That sounds weird. Please try to add <?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?> as the first line in the file maintenance-mode_site.php and let me know if this works for you.
