Upload the `simple-coming-soon` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. **Navigate to Settings > Coming Soon** to configure your page. 4. Check "Enable Coming Soon Mode" and click "Save Settings". == Usage == **1. How to Enable/Disable:** * Go to **Settings > Coming Soon**. * Use the top toggle "Enable Coming Soon Mode" to turn the page on or off. * Blue = Active (Visitors see Coming Soon page), Grey = Disabled (Site is live). **2. Designing the "Glass" Effect:** * Go to the **Design** tab. * Upload a high-quality Background Image. * Adjust **Content Opacity** (try 85%) and **Background Blur** (try 10px) to create the frosted glass look. **3. Setting up the Countdown & Auto-Launch:** * Go to the **Elements** tab. * Check "Enable Timer" and pick your launch date/time. * **Important:** Check "Auto-Launch" if you want the plugin to automatically disable itself when the timer hits zero. **4. Sharing with Clients (Secret Access):** * Go to the **Advanced** tab. * Enter a secret keyword (e.g., `preview`) in the **Bypass Keyword** field. * Save changes and copy the "Magic Link" generated below the field. Anyone with this link can see the real site. **5. Adding Tracking (GA4/Pixel):** * Go to the **Advanced** tab. * Paste your code into the **Header Scripts** box. It will only load on the Coming Soon page. == Frequently Asked Questions == **Q: Why can I still see my website after enabling the plugin?** A: The plugin is designed to allow Administrators to see the real site so you can keep working on it. To see what visitors see, please check your site in an **Incognito/Private** browser window. **Q: How do I let my client see the site without giving them a login?** A: Use the **Secret Client Access** feature in the Advanced tab. Set a keyword, save, and send them the generated URL. They will be "whitelisted" via a browser cookie. **Q: My background or colors aren't changing when I save.** A: This is usually caused by a caching plugin (like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache). Please clear your site cache after saving settings. We have built-in code to tell most caching plugins "DO NOT CACHE" the coming soon page, but a manual clear is sometimes needed. **Q: Does the Countdown Timer work in all timezones?** A: Yes, the timer uses your WordPress Site Time (set in Settings > General) to calculate the remaining distance. **Q: Will this hurt my Google ranking?** A: No. Unlike simple redirects, this plugin sends a **503 Service Unavailable** header. This tells Google that the site is temporarily down for maintenance and to come back later, preserving your SEO. **Q: How do I change the font?** A: Go to the **Design** tab and use the **Font Style** dropdown. We have pre-loaded popular Google Fonts like Poppins, Inter, and Merriweather. == Screenshots == 1. **Frontend View:** The final Coming Soon page featuring the modern Glassmorphism effect, responsive timer, and custom action button. 2. **Design Settings:** Professional styling controls for Google Fonts, Background Blur, and Rounded Corners. 3. **Pro Action Button:** Full design control for your Call-to-Action button, including hover effects and custom shadows. 4. **Countdown Timer:** Easy setup for your launch date with an optional "Auto-Launch" mode to reveal your site automatically. 5. **Page Content:** Easily upload your logo and customize the main headline and welcome message. 6. **Social Media Icons:** Connect your TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and Instagram profiles. 7. **SEO Configuration:** Control how your site appears in search results with custom Meta Titles and Descriptions. 8. **Analytics & Client Access:** Add tracking scripts (GA4) and generate a secure "Magic Link" for client bypass. 9. **Admin Bar Indicator:** High-visibility status labels in the WordPress Admin Bar for quick monitoring while you work. == Changelog == = 1.4.4 = * **New:** "Tabbed Interface" for organized settings (Content, Design, Elements, Advanced). * **Feature:** Added "Scripts & Analytics" field for GA4/Facebook Pixel integration. * **Feature:** Added "One-Click Enable/Disable" toggle in settings. * **Feature:** Added "Admin Bar Status Indicator" (WCAG Compliant labels). * **New Icons:** Added TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn support. * **Fix:** Improved padding logic with smart fallbacks (12px/25px) for the Pro Action Button. * **Fix:** Resolved compliance issues for Google Fonts enqueuing. * **Fix:** Resolved color resetting bug when switching between setting tabs. * **Fix:** Improved mobile responsiveness and scrolling using modern 100dvh units. * **Improved:** Updated documentation and UI layout with Dashicons. = 1.0.0 = * Initial release. == Upgrade Notice == = 1.4.4 = Major Update: New Tabbed Settings, Analytics Integration, Admin Status Bar, Social Icon updates, and Pro-Level Design Fixes.
