Maintenance Mode

[datiswous]

Hi, first off, thank you for your suggestions, and glad you are enjoying the plugin.

1. This would be an intriguing feature - let us consider this and see if it's feasible to develop as it's not something we've ever needed, but I could see it being useful is some situations.
2. I'm not quite sure I follow you here. It is the same amount of work to go the themes page in the admin area and select a different one, than to go to settings. So unless I am misunderstanding I don't see the point of adding this.
3. I think we will release a separate plugin for this - that is a very good point, however it's outside of the realm of this Maintenance Mode plugin. Look for that in the upcoming week.

Thanks again for the feedback and using our plugin.
Michael

2. Well you can make a theme specific for maintenance mode and activate it via the plugin, but ok, I see your point. Maybe it is an idea to add some way to edit the html,css this plugin uses.

3. See http://get-simple.info/wiki/404 (just for info).

Another idea: When you set maintenance mode you sometimes forget to turn it of after changes. I know that for example Drupal shows a small warning message on the admin pages that Maintenance Mode is enabled.
