About Disable Site

This plugin allows you to temporarily disable your website's front-end and display a custom message to visitors, while still allowing back-end access. It is useful for situations such as working on a new website or fixing bugs, and can be configured to allow admin users and specific IP addresses to bypass the splash page.
