- Add contact icons for users to reach you during maintenance.

- Build your own from the ground up maintenance page by creating a new maintenance.php in your active theme folder and selecting the “Custom” template in the settings.

GDPR
We are not lawyers and always recommend doing your own compliance research into third party plugins, libraries, ect, as we’ve seen other maintenance plugins not be in compliance with these regulations.
This plugin uses Bootstrap, Bootstrap Icons, and Select2 3rd party libraries. These libraries are loaded locally to be compliant with data protection regulations.
This plugin has the capability to use Google Analytics and Matomo. If you enable this option, please make sure you are in compliance with data processing regulations. We currently have checks for the Complianz “cmplz_statistics” cookie before tracking, but if you do not use Complianz you will need to build your own integration out.
You can also put in a feature request for the compliance plugin you use, and we’ll look into integrating it.
This plugin collects and stores certain data on your server to ensure proper functionality. This includes:
