== Frequently Asked Questions ==
|
|
|
|
= Who is this plugin for? =
|
|
|
|
For anyone who wants to display a under construction / maintenance page while they're doing work on their site.
|
|
|
|
= Will this plugin slow my site down? =
|
|
|
|
Absolutely not.
|
|
|
|
= Will it work on my theme? =
|
|
|
|
Sure! Under construction works 100% with all themes.
|
|
|
|
= Will it work with my plugins? =
|
|
|
|
Sure! It works 100% with all plugins.
|
|
|
|
= What changes will it make to my site? =
|
|
|
|
None. Once you disable the under construction page your site will function as it did before.
|
|
|
|
= It's not working!!! Arrrrrrrrr =
|
|
|
|
We did our very best to make Under Construction compatible with all plugins and themes, but problems can still happen. No worries, head over to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/under-construction-page">support forum</a> open a new thread, and we'll help you ASAP.
|
|
|
|
= How can I work on my site while under construction mode is enabled? =
|
|
|
|
Make sure your user role (probably admin) is selected under _Access - Whitelisted User Roles_ option and open the site while logged in.
|
|
|
|
= How can I log in / access WordPress admin after under construction mode has been enabled? =
|
|
|
|
Enable the _Login Button_ option (found in Content tab), and a login link will be shown in the lower right corner of the under construction page.
|
|
|
|
= How do I add my logo to the page? =
|
|
|
|
Head over to the _Content_ tab and click "Add Media". Upload/select the logo, position it as you see fit and add other content.
|
|
|
|
= I've made changes to UCP, but they are not visible. What do I do? =
|
|
|
|
Click "Save Changes" one more time. Open your site and force refresh browser cache (Ctrl or Shift + F5). If that doesn't help it means you have a caching plugin installed. Purge/delete cache in that plugin or disable it.
|
|
|
|
= How can I get more designs? Where do I download them? =
|
|
|
|
We update the plugin every 7-10 days and each update comes with at least one new theme/design. There is no other way to get more designs nor a place to download them.
|
|
|
|
= How can I edit designs? =
|
|
|
|
There is an option to add custom CSS. If you want more than that you will have to edit the source files located in _/under-construction-page/themes/_.
|
|
|
|
= I have disabled UCP but the under construction page is still visible. How do I remove it? =
|
|
|
|
Open your site and force refresh browser cache (Ctrl or Shift + F5). If that doesn't help it means you have a caching plugin installed. Purge/delete cache in that plugin or disable it. If that fails too contact your hosting provider and ask them to empty the site cache for you.
|
|
|
|
= Is UCP compatible with caching plugins? =
|
|
|
|
UCP is compatible with all caching plugins. However, please note that we automatically empty cache when UCP status is changed only for the following plugins: W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Endurance Page Cache, SiteGround SuperCacher and WP Fastest Cache.
