Maintenance settings with authorized IP addresses, page customization and built-in guidance (French interface).

Escuder Maintenance lets you prepare a WordPress site without editing your theme. Turn maintenance on from Settings > Escuder Maintenance, add trusted IPv4 or IPv6 addresses and customize the public page.

Administrators with manage_options can always sign in and view the site. Visitors sharing an allowed IP can view it without an account. Everyone else receives a standalone maintenance page with HTTP 503, Retry-After and noindex headers.

Features:

  • Maintenance is off when first activated or reactivated.
  • Up to 200 exact IPv4 or IPv6 addresses; equivalent IPv6 notations are normalized.
  • Add the address WordPress sees with one click.
  • Custom title, plain-text message, Media Library logo, accent and background colors.
  • Administrator-only preview of saved settings, without enabling maintenance.
  • Administration notice and toolbar indicator while maintenance is active.
  • English interface with bundled French and Spanish translations.
  • No external services, trackers, remote fonts, paid features or public author credits.
  • No changes to themes, server rules, media files or WordPress indexing preferences.

Important scope

The plugin gates requests reaching its early WordPress init hook: public pages, feeds, REST, XML-RPC, Ajax and admin-post handlers. The real WordPress login page, ordinary administration, cron and WP-CLI keep their normal authentication and permissions. An allowed IP only bypasses maintenance; it never grants WordPress permissions.

Images, PDFs and other files served directly by Apache, Nginx or a CDN are not protected. A page cache or another plugin responding before this plugin runs can also bypass it. Use hosting-level access control when the entire site must be private.

Disable and purge full-page caching before enabling maintenance, and purge again after changes to maintenance or allowed IPs. Cache-control headers and DONOTCACHEPAGE cannot erase a page already cached upstream. The plugin does not automatically purge arbitrary hosting, plugin or CDN caches.

Payment notifications, public Ajax, XML-RPC and other integrations may be blocked during maintenance. Check your integrations before enabling maintenance on a live store. There are no automatic webhook exceptions.
