VS Website Closed

Beskrivelse

About

With this lightweight plugin you can close your website on selected days of the week.

On selected days your website is closed and a landing page is displayed.

When to use:

  • Close webshop during your holiday
  • Close for religious reasons
  • Close for maintenance or under construction

Main difference between this plugin and others is that you can select certain days instead of just close or open your website.

How to use

After installation go to the settings page. This page is located at Settings > Website closed.

Select days and customize the landing page that is displayed when website is closed.

Styling

Additional styling (CSS) via the Customizer is being ignored when this plugin is active. But you can add custom CSS via plugin settings page.

Translation

Translations are not included, but the plugin supports WordPress language packs.

More translations are very welcome!

The translation folder inside this plugin is redundant, but kept for reference.

Credits

Without the WordPress codex and help from the WordPress community I was not able to develop this plugin, so: thank you!

Enjoy!

FAQ

How do I set plugin language?

The plugin will use the website language, set in Settings > General.

If translations are not available in the selected language, English will be used.

Which timezone does plugin use?

It uses the local timezone set in Settings > General.

Can I preview the landing page before closing website?

Yes, this is possible. Plugin has a preview feature.

Can I close a website permanently?

Yes, this is possible. Just select all days and save the page.

Where to find the image ID?

Every image contains an unique ID. You will find this ID when hovering the image title in the media library of your dashboard (list view) or when editing the image.

It’s the number that comes after: post= or item=

Is SEO taken into account?

Yes, when plugin is active it adds a 503 Service Unavailable server error response code. This tells search engines that your site is (temporary) down.

Why is there no semantic versioning?

The version number won’t give you info about the type of update (major, minor, patch). You should check the changelog to see whether or not the update is a major or minor one.

I use this to automatically close our congregational website (fpchurchsantafe.org) on the Lord's Day. It took me less than 5 minutes to setup and I believe every WordPress website should use it. Kind regards to the author of the plugin!

This plugin just works fantastic, has a clean code, no hidden scripts, and has a very simple user interface. I would recommend this plugin If you are looking for a simple maintenance plugin or if you just want to close your website on a specific day, like Sunday, due to religious reasons. Guido, keep up the good work!
