Hide Your WordPress site Until It's Ready (Maintenance Mode) #Best Education Page #Online Earning

Hide Your WordPress site Until It's Ready (Maintenance Mode)


hello everybody it's alex here from WP
eagle comm thanks for watching in this
video what I'm going to be doing is
showing you how to hide your website
when you're working on it so maybe
you've seen one of my videos on how to
set up a website and you're working away
on the website but you don't want people
to look at the website until it's you
know perfect and finished so the best
way to approach this is to set up a
maintenance mode page it's basically
just a page that's shown to logged out
visitors that just looks nice and says
you know the site is under construction
or sites down for maintenance and gives
them a way of contacting you
etc etc so let's have a look at the site
that I'm going to be working on it's the
2015 demo which I recently set up you
can find a video on that on my channel
if you take a look and what I'm going to
do is I'm going to log in and then I'm
going to install a plugin so let's get
started by logging in so you need to
obviously log into your website and then
what we're going to do is go over to
plugins and then add new plug-in then in
the search box over here I'm going to
type in WP main tenants you'd have to
say like that and the one I want is this
one which is called WP maintenance mode
funnily enough so if we click install
now it's going to download that and then
install it for you all automatically so
then we need to click activate
okay so now what we need to do is set it
up and you'll find the settings down in
settings and WP maintenance mode so what
I'm going to do is I'm going to turn it
on a bypass for search box we're going
to say that to know I don't know wave on
turn it on if your site's not finished
this allow allows you to set who's able
to access so maybe you have some editors
as well setup that you want to access
but by default administrator will be
fine and the rest is probably all fine
you can have a dashboard link if you
like that might be nice let's click Save
Settings the next page is the design so
this is what it actually says on your
site so the title is the tag that
appears in the very top of the browser
in the up here in the tab the heading is
maintenance right let's change that to
will be back soon now you could put some
blurb in here blah blah blah blah that's
fine and you can choose a background and
you can upload a background or you can
select a color I'm just going to leave
it with a color for now then modules and
you can have a countdown let's have a
countdown that'd be nice and you can
have a subscribe button so that you
collect email addresses you can show
some social networks so like a Facebook
I don't I'm just going to type in your
Facebook addressing haven't got any to
hand so I'm just going to type in some
gibberish you can have an email address
which is fine pretty much as soon and
you can install your Google Analytics if
you want so let's click Save Settings
obviously to view this we need to log
out so I'm going to log out the site now
and then go back to the web site and
there is our maintenance page with its
countdown an email and a social media so
you can play around with the colors you
can add a background and make it look
really nice and then when you're
finished you want to turn it off again
you don't see log back in
and go back in and turn it off I think I
should have a link here now because I
selected the option but oh yeah there's
this link here so I can click the
activate get rate and then that's done
so that would be turned off now and the
sites back up as it was that was nice
short and sweet video wasn't it so I
hope that you found that useful I made
this video as a request kind of thing
because one of my recent viewers said
hey how do I stop people to keep my site
so hopefully you'll find this useful
this one's view and hopefully you found
it useful too if you want more videos

does help and yeah subscribe to my
channel and they'll be more wordpress
