  • Good plugin

    The only thing missing is the option to indicate excluded pages or IPs.

  • Très pratique

    Facile à installer. J'utilise ce plugging depuis plusieurs années car il est très facile de modifier les templates .php pour obtenir exactement la page dont j'ai besoin.

  • Efficiently Gets the Job Done

    I'm new to WordPress and all that goes with it. This plugin makes it easy to place a coming soon page as I build my site, which will probably take much longer than it should, but I am learning as I go. Grateful for something so easy for a change.

    Thank you for implementing such functional, yet easy plugin to use. Does what it's meant to do, and does it well with much complication. Well appreciated!
