Under Construction Mode / Maintenance Mode is the general
term for the pages containing the message that the website is upgrading or
maintaining. Often, webmasters will display under construction to prevent
visitors from seeing the content inside. To create an under construction page
in WordPress, there are two ways to do this:
Use plugin.
Use theme.
Although these two ways are different but it is still the
same feature that when people visit any page in the blog will display under
construction site instead of original content. And in this post, I will share a
nice plugin for underbuilding under the name WordPress Maintenance - Under
Construction Mode that I bought at Codecanyon for $ 13 and will list some other
plugins and themes in End of the article for everyone to refer.
Download WordPress Maintenance - Under Construction Mode
You have to download the network first
Installation and use instructions
Once downloaded, the extracted files will be a directory and
a file like this
Then go to Plugins ⇨ Add New and then upload the file
dpMaintenance.zip. The documentation directory is the instruction manual.
After activation, you go to Maintenance and active it.
Finished, your next job is to activate or opt-in on its
available options. Let's briefly list the options contained in this plugin as
follows:
General Setting
Basic plugin options such as activation, logo customization,
theme selection (6 different themes), member group option can see Maintenance
message and insert tracking script (Google Analytics, ...).
Timer Widget
Option to display countdown timer on maintenance page. Here
you can customize the countdown timer, customizable text and also have a rather
special function that automatically deactivates the plugin when the countdown
timer ends.
Progress Bar Widget
Optionally display progress bar, you can optionally complete
percentage to display. This is for me, but it does not automatically change.
Social Widget
Optional display of links to social networking sites.
Company Information
You can write a introduction or a reason for closing here,
which will display a small area beneath the maintenance page.
Flickr Images Widget
Option to display images on Flickr account.
Twitter Feed Widget
Option to display the latest tweets on your Twitter account.
Links
Optional display of links, such as blogroll.

Option to display the newsletter signup bar via email, but
unfortunately it only supports Mailchimp.

After all the options are complete, your maintenance page
will look like this
The image above is to use the Default theme, you can
optionally select another theme in the General Setting options.
Free plugins support the Maintenance page
Not only does the plugin do this, but it can also be used as
a theme. Here are some themes that make maintenance / under construction quite
beautiful.
