A coming soon plugin is a useful tool for WordPress users who are in the process of building or redesigning their website. It allows you to display a temporary "coming soon" page to visitors while you work on your site in the background.
Here's how you can install and set up a coming soon plugin in WordPress:
-
Log in to your WordPress dashboard and go to the Plugins menu.
-
Click on "Add New" and then type "coming soon" in the search bar.
-
Browse through the available plugins and select one that suits your needs. Some popular options include "Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode," "SeedProd," and "Under Construction Page."
-
Install and activate the plugin of your choice.
-
Once the plugin is activated, you will be taken to its settings page. From here, you can customize the design of your coming soon page, add your logo and social media links, and include a countdown timer if you wish.
-
You can also set up a whitelist to allow certain users to bypass the coming soon page and view your site as it is being developed. This is useful if you need to give clients or collaborators access to your site.
-
When you're ready to launch your site, simply deactivate the coming soon plugin and your visitors will be able to see your new website.
That's it! With a coming soon plugin, you can work on your website without worrying about turning visitors away.
