A maintenance or coming-soon page, with a switch.

== Description ==

Turn a clean holding page on and off. Maintenance mode sends the correct 503 status so search engines wait; coming-soon mode sends 200 with noindex. Logged-in editors still see the site. One built-in design, your logo, headline, message and colours.

Pantry Maintenance is built to the Pantry Standard, a public document that fixes what every Plugin Pantry plugin may and may not do: https://thepluginpantry.com/standard

= What it does =

* Enable switch with a mode: maintenance (503 with Retry-After) or coming soon (200 with noindex)
* Headline, message with basic formatting, logo from the media library, background and text colour
* One built-in page design with inline CSS and no external assets
* Bypass for logged-in users with a chosen capability and for a list of IP addresses
* Never blocks wp-login.php, wp-admin, REST requests, cron or WP-CLI
* Admin bar indicator while the page is active and a preview link on the settings screen

= What it does not do =

* No template gallery
* No countdown timer
* No email capture
* No page builder

== Pro add-on ==

A separate Pantry Pro add-on is planned. It will extend this plugin with:

* More page designs
* Countdown timer
* Email capture with export
* Secret bypass link to share with clients

Nothing in this free plugin is locked or limited. It is complete for its scope.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/ or install it from the Plugins screen.
2. Activate it.
3. Open Plugin Pantry > Maintenance and set it up.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does the free plugin expire or nag? =

No. It keeps working forever and never shows a sales notice.

= Does it send any data anywhere? =

Only what the feature itself requires, and that is listed on the plugin page.

= Where do I report a bug? =

https://thepluginpantry.com/support

== Changelog ==

= 1.0.0 (2026-09-12) =
