== Frequently Asked Questions ==

**Q: I activated the plugin, but I can still see my website. Is it broken?**
A: No! The plugin intentionally lets *you* (the logged-in admin) see the site so you can work on it. Please check the site in an **Incognito/Private** window to see the Coming Soon page.

**Q: How do I create a "Ghost Button" (Transparent with border)?**
A: Easy!
1. Set "Background Color" to Transparent.
2. Set "Border Width" to `2px`.
3. Set "Border Color" to White.
4. Set "Shadow Effect" to `None`.

**Q: Does the Countdown Timer automatically publish the site?**
A: Yes, BUT only if you check the **"Auto-Launch"** box in the settings.

**Q: How long does the Secret Client Link last?**
A: For security, the secret link uses a "Session Cookie." Access lasts as long as the browser window remains open. Once the client closes their browser, the access is revoked.
