FAQ
For anyone who wants to display a under construction / maintenance page while they’re doing work on their site.
Absolutely not.
Sure! Under construction works 100% with all themes.
Sure! It works 100% with all plugins.
None. Once you disable the under construction page your site will function as it did before.
We did our very best to make Under Construction compatible with all plugins and themes, but problems can still happen. No worries, head over to the support forum open a new thread, and we’ll help you ASAP.
Make sure your user role (probably admin) is selected under Access – Whitelisted User Roles option and open the site while logged in.
Enable the Login Button option (found in Content tab), and a login link will be shown in the lower right corner of the under construction page.
Head over to the Content tab and click “Add Media”. Upload/select the logo, position it as you see fit and add other content.
Click “Save Changes” one more time. Open your site and force refresh browser cache (Ctrl or Shift + F5). If that doesn’t help it means you have a caching plugin installed. Purge/delete cache in that plugin or disable it.
We update the plugin every 7-10 days and each update comes with at least one new theme/design. There is no other way to get more designs nor a place to download them.
There is an option to add custom CSS. If you want more than that you will have to edit the source files located in /under-construction-page/themes/.
Open your site and force refresh browser cache (Ctrl or Shift + F5). If that doesn’t help it means you have a caching plugin installed. Purge/delete cache in that plugin or disable it. If that fails too contact your hosting provider and ask them to empty the site cache for you.
UCP is compatible with all caching plugins. However, please note that we automatically empty cache when UCP status is changed only for the following plugins: W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, Endurance Page Cache, SiteGround SuperCacher and WP Fastest Cache.
