Instead of a generic message, you can select and display any page you’ve built — with the Block Editor, Classic Editor, or a page builder. Visitors will see your chosen **maintenance or coming‑soon page**, styled using your theme’s CSS and JS, while logged‑in administrators continue working behind the scenes. When Build Mode is active, only the content area of your chosen maintenance page is displayed. The header, footer and navigation are automatically removed. ### Features * Enable or disable Build Mode from the **Admin Bar** * Choose any page as your custom **maintenance**, **coming‑soon** or **under‑construction** screen * **Five-Second Setup:** Click “Create Maintenance Page” to automatically generate a styled “Under Construction” page. * Logged‑in admins bypass maintenance mode automatically * Choose between **503 Service Unavailable** (maintenance windows) or **200 OK**( coming‑soon / teaser pages) — configurable via a simple setting * Lightweight and secure, built with WordPress best practices * Compatible with classic and block themes * Translation‑ready ### Use cases * Show a custom **under‑maintenance** or **coming‑soon** screen while you redesign or update your site * Let search engines know your downtime is temporary with proper HTTP headers * Keep working on your site privately without showing a broken layout to visitors [Plugin Page on Themeist](https://themeist.com/plugins/build-mode/) [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/webtions/build-mode) ## Capturas * [[ * Plugin Settings – One-click maintenance page setup. * [[ * Block Editor – Customizing the maintenance page pattern. * [[ * Admin Bar – Quickly toggling Build Mode on/off. * [[ * Visitor View – What your users see (Maintenance/Coming Soon page). ## Instalación 1. Go to **Plugins Add New** in your WordPress dashboard. 2. Search for **Build Mode**, then click **Install Now** **Activate**. 3. Go to **Settings Build Mode**. 4. Click **Create Maintenance Page** (or select an existing page). 5. Check the **Enable Build Mode** box and click **Save**. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Can I design my own maintenance or coming‑soon page? Yes — use any page built with the Block Editor, Classic Editor or a page builder. ### Will administrators still see the full site? Yes. Logged‑in users with the required capability (default: `manage_options`) bypass Build Mode. ### Does this impact SEO? By default, Build Mode sends **HTTP 503 + `Retry-After`** headers to signal temporary downtime. If you’re running a coming‑soon or teaser page and want search engines to index it normally, uncheck **“Send 503 status code”** in the settings to serve a `200 OK` response instead. ### Can I use Build Mode for a coming‑soon or under‑construction page? Yes. By selecting a specific page in the plugin settings, you can show a custom coming‑soon or under‑construction screen while you build or redesign your site. ### Can editors manage Build Mode? By default, only Administrators can toggle it. Developers can change this using the `build_mode_capability` filter. ### For developers: are there filters available? Yes, Build Mode provides two filters. 1. `build_mode_capability` — Change the capability required to manage Build Mode. Example (allow Editors): `add_filter( 'build_mode_capability', function () { return' edit_pages'; } ); 2. `build_mode_retry_after` — Control the Retry‑After header value (in seconds). Default is 24 hours (`DAY_IN_SECONDS`). Example (set to 1 hour): `add_filter( ' build_mode_retry_after', function () { return HOUR_IN_SECONDS; } ); ### Where can I get help?
