## Description

If you’re working on your website and would like to make it known to your visitors,
install the plugin YITH Maintenance Mode to quickly set a lovely customizable page
to let your visitors know the site is closed for maintenance.

**A working demo is available [here](http://plugins.yithemes.com/yith-maintenance-mode/).**

Full documentation is available [here](http://yithemes.com/docs-plugins/yith_maintenance_mode/).

This plugin is 100% compatible with [WPML](http://wpml.org/?aid=24889&affiliate_key=Qn1wDeBNTcZV)

#### Installation

Once you have installed the plugin, you just need to activate the plugin in order
to enable it.

#### Configuration

YITH Maintenance Mode will add a new page under Appearance -> Maintenance Mode, 
where you can configure the plugin and customize the frontend page.

#### GDPR Disclaimer

As you can see in [Google FAQ](https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq#what_does_using_the_google_fonts_api_mean_for_the_privacy_of_my_users):

The Google Fonts API is designed to limit the collection, storage, and use of end-
user data to what is needed to serve fonts efficiently. […] Google Fonts logs records
of the CSS and the font file requests, and access to this data is kept secure. […]
We use data from Google’s web crawler to detect which websites use Google fonts.

In other words, when someone visits your website, Google will be able to access 
the IP address they used to access it. As a result of using Google Fonts, you implicitly
accept their terms and conditions, and you must inform people visiting your site
of this in accordance with the current GDPR law in Europe.

#### Developer

Are you a developer? Want to customize the templates or the style of the plugin?

## Installation

 1. Unzip the downloaded zip file.
 2. Upload the plugin folder into the `wp-content/plugins/` directory of your WordPress
    site.
 3. Activate `YITH Maintenance Mode` from Plugins page

## FAQ

### Can I customize the maintenance mode page?

Yes, the page is a simple template and you can override it by putting the file template“
maintenance.php” inside the theme folder. You can also customize the style by adding
your custom CSS in the specific option of the settings.

### Have I deactive the plugin to deactive the maintenance mode page?

No, you can deactive the maintenance mode page even if the plugin is active.

### What are the main changes in plugin translation?

Recently this plugin has been selected to be included in the “translate.wordpress.
org” translate programme. In order to import correctly the plugin strings in the
new system, we had to change the text domain form ‘yit’ to ‘yith-maintenance-mode’.
Once the plugin will be imported in the translate.wordpress.org system, the translations
of other languages will be downloaded directly from WordPress, without using any.
po and .mo files. Moreover, users will be able to participate in a more direct way
to plugin translations, suggesting texts in their languages in the dedicated tab
on translate.wordpress.org. During this transition step, .po and .mo files will 
be used as always, but in order to be recognized by WordPress, they will need to
have a new nomenclature, renaming them in: yith-maintenance-mode-.po yith-woocommerce-
ajax-navigation-.mo. For example, if your language files were named yit-en_GB.po
and yit-en_GB.mo, you will just have to rename them respectively as yith-maintenance-
mode-en_GB.po and yith-maintenance-mode-en_GB.mo.

### How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program.
The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities.

 [bistromatic](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bistromatic/) March 22, 2022

This plugin locked me completely out of my wordpress site. Neither /wp-admin nor/
admin let me log in again. All I got was “Page not found”. Removed the plugin via
FTP and I’m back in business. Unacceptable!
