The Maintenance Mode Plugin for WordPress allows administrators to redirect all non-logged-in users to a specific page on the site. This is particularly useful for displaying a "maintenance" or "coming soon" page while updating or modifying the site. The plugin ensures that logged-in users, have full access to the site, including the admin area and the login page.
The plugin is designed to be lightweight and simple to use. It does not include any unnecessary features or settings. It is intended to be used as a temporary solution, or as a base for developers to build upon.
