Description
Rokku Maintenance Mode lets administrators easily enable a maintenance mode for their WordPress site.
When enabled, non-logged-in visitors will see a custom maintenance page with:
- A custom logo
- A headline message
- A WYSIWYG text message
The WordPress admin bar turns red while maintenance mode is active, and an admin notice is displayed.
Perfect for site updates or temporary downtime, without the complexity.
