* **Content** — Logo, title, description
* **Features** — Countdown timer, progress bar, email subscribe

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/wpsimple-maintenance/` or install via **Plugins → Add New**.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Go to **Settings → WP Maintenance** to configure.
4. When ready, enable maintenance mode and save.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Will my logged-in admin account see the maintenance page? =
No. By default, logged-in users are excluded. You always see the real site while editing.

= What's the difference between Maintenance and Coming Soon mode? =
Maintenance sends HTTP 503 (Service Unavailable) — this tells search engines your site is temporarily down and to come back later. Coming Soon sends HTTP 200 (OK) — better for new sites not yet indexed.

= How do I collect subscriber emails? =
Enable the Subscribe form under Features tab. Emails are stored in your WordPress database. You can export them as CSV from the same tab.

= Can I keep some pages publicly accessible during maintenance? =
Yes. Enter page slugs or IDs (comma-separated) in the "Excluded Pages" field under General settings.

= Does it work with any theme? =
Yes. The maintenance page completely replaces the theme output, so it works with any WordPress theme.
