Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Planned Outage for Block Themes is a lightweight plugin that enables maintenance mode for WordPress block themes. When enabled, logged-out visitors see your custom maintenance template while logged-in users can browse the site normally.

Features:

  • Uses native block theme templates
  • Create maintenance pages in the Site Editor or as theme files
  • Schedule outage windows with a start and end time — maintenance turns on and off automatically
  • Logged-in users bypass maintenance mode
  • Configurable expected duration (Retry-After header); during a scheduled window the header reflects the time remaining automatically
  • Pre-launch mode for sites that aren’t live yet
  • Optional search engine bot access during maintenance
  • Bypass link to let non-logged-in users preview the site during maintenance
  • Admin bar indicator when maintenance mode is active
  • Duration warning after 3 days of maintenance (except in pre-launch mode)
  • Returns proper 503 status code for SEO
  • Cache plugin detection with admin warning and automatic cache flushing

Requirements:

  • WordPress 6.6 or higher
  • A block theme (like Twenty Twenty-Five)
