Plugin deleted, still showing construction page on homepage

By jvwx (enfueggo) on April 18, 2023

Figured out my caching issue, though changing to 3 stars because it's still a frustrating UI. Why are <style> tags not allowed in the HTML view?

My goto under construction, always

By tkoc on January 28, 2021

No bells, no wistles, just straight forward. You can make whatever you want with this since the plugin let you add whatever code you wan't to display to eaarly visitors.

I Use It On Every Site I Build - An Essential Bit Of Kit

By PhilGreg101 on April 8, 2017

This is a neat and highly useful little plugin that I install as standard with each WordPress Installation. It allows me to block the public ( and clients ) from seeing the site whilst it is being developed and enables me to play around with various designs in private without a 101 armchair critics blurting comments every 5 minutes. An essential and lightweight bit of kit.

Sometimes I use this very fast.

Full of security holes

By birre on October 5, 2016

Hack is in the wild. Three sites were hacked, only thing in common was this plugin. Upon close programming inspection, it's filled with security holes. Last update was a band-aid. Do not use until security is up to par. Input sanitation and denying direct access.
