Custom Coming Soon Pages WordPress Plugin allows you to display a Customized Coming Soon Page or Under Construction page to normal visitors or regular members of your WordPress based website or Blog – while the Site Administrators see the fully functional website with the applied theme and active plugins as well as a fully functional Dashboard.

Custom Coming Soon Pages WordPress Plugin will enable you to perform upgrades, fix nasty bugs or preview jazzy enhancements to your design live on your WordPress based website or blog without letting your users and normal visitors see crappy error messages or changes to the design until you really want them to.

More Benefits »

Domain Age is a significant metric that is considered by many Search Engines among other factors while ranking your website. So if you have a unused domain, you can use the Custom Coming Soon Pages Plugin on a fresh WordPress install instead of your web host’s landing page. Restrict your host from pointing your domain to an ad-farm when you can make a mark with a Coming Soon Page customized to project your Brand even before you launch.

Custom Coming Soon Pages Plugin is also capable of displaying a Count Down Timer if you plan to launch on a Specific Date. You can also let your users subscribe to your website so that they can get notified via email whenever you launch. Integrated Twitter and Facebook features lets your visitors follow you on these social networks until you launch.

Features »

Controlled Access:
Only Normal Visitors and Regular Members will see the Custom Coming Soon Page. If the Site Administrators are logged in, they will not see the Custom Coming Soon Page but will be able to view the fully functional blog with the current applied theme and active plugins as well as full access to the WordPress Dashboard.

Customize the Title of the Coming Soon page as well as the coming soon message that is displayed from the Plugin Settings in your Dashboard.

If you have removed the plug-in files from your server via FTP, it will automatically be deactivated and the code doesn’t change anything.. so it should work.

Hey,

Thanks for this plug-in! It is good to have, I have also passed it on to many others

It works excellently for us!! Great Plug-in! The only thing I “wish” it had was an area to put business address/phone#/email address – but that isn’t a complaint, it’s just a comment .

Thanks a lot for your custom underconstruction…

Ubercart says:

oh and PS. it seems to work fine in PHP 5.3 and WordPress 3.0.1

Ubercart says:

There’s a bug when you use this plugin on a server which is case sensitive and you’re using the custom_xHTML setting.

the code has the folder as themes/custom_xhtml , but in the plugin it uses the include themes/custom_xHTML . This is causing problems under linux.

To resolve the problem simply rename the custom_xHTML folder to be custom_xhtml .

Thanks for this wonderful plugin. Keep it up.

I would suggest you look for an alternative countdown script since the current script returns wrong time. If you set the script according to a particular timezone and the website is opened in a different timezone then hours left as viewed from original and the second timezone country would show different whereas for each country in the world, it should show same.

I just installed this for my site that is in-progress (on WordPress 3.01) and it WORKS LIKE A CHARM!! Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for something that I could easily put in place until I’m ready for the world to see. This is a GREAT Plugin!

Giancarlo says:

The plugin did not work on my site. I filled out the forms and all… but not working. Anything that I am missing? Or maybe because I am using 3.01 wordpress? Cheers!

Nicole says:

The email function does not work. When I test it, the email I receive says the following:

“A user has subscribed to Launch Announcement email list. Please save this email address.
Email: Please wait..”

There is no email address shown in the “From” field and as you can see, in the body of the email it simply says “please wait”.

So I can not see the email address of anyone that signs up. Please help!

Hi CSSJockey,
Sorry to bother you again. Yes, I have checked it out – the setting>cjcoming soon. And customised almost everything to suit my need. But I now want to customise the Theme: WordPress theme| Sponsored by: Dedicated Servers links and words. Any suggestions?
Raj

raj says:

Hi,
Simply superb. Great plugin. I have activated it in my site. And the look is really great. But why I cannot use it in my localhost setting without connecting to the Net? Also how can I customise the Theme: …. and Sponsored by: ….. options?

25 Jul, 2010

CSSJockey says:

Thanks Raj, I am glad you like the plugin. You can update the settings from Plugin settings and change almost everything there.. Check under Settigns > CJ Coming Soon

Andy says:

Hi there,

I am pretty sure that the FOOTER links are not configurable from the back-end.

What I found is that it maybe hardcoded in the index.php file and the related codes are ENCODED.

I would like to use this wonderful plug-in except telling ppl about that we are using wordpress. If you can tell how we can remove/customize the footer text, it will really be very great.

Thanks.

23 Aug, 2010

CSSJockey says:

You can remove the footer link from the files saved in theme folders.. Open index.php file of the theme you are using and feel free to edit anything you like.. Be careful with the code

23 Aug, 2010

Andy says:

Hi CJ,

I think I know what has been going on.

I’ve downloaded your plug-in somewhere else (don’t remember exactly where) and the footer part of the version I’ve downloaded has been encrypted to contain some unwanted links.

I’ve downloaded the official version from your website, and everything is fine now. Thanks for your great plug-in.

Just wanna warn anyone else when downloading script from non-official site, remember to check with the official site for the official version, as the non-official source may have changed or modified codes which may end-up harm your site.

Cheers,
Andy.

Rackspace says:

Hi, apologies if this sounds dud, but is the plug-in able to support multi-languages?

05 Jul, 2010

CSSJockey says:

You can type the text in plugin settings however, the back-end is only available in English..

Hi Mark, I guess the URL you provided is not correct. I am not able to see your site with both links you provided. Please submit a ticket at http://support.cssjockey.com with correct info and we will continue the discussion there..

Hello,

I’m using wordpress 2.7.2, and I installed the plugin through the plugin browser, but when I clicked “active plugin”, the browser couldn’t display the website: http://www.lucesmoda.com/ . The url bounces back and forward with the settings of the plugin and the default index. Hope you can help soon!

29 May, 2010

Jesús Acuña says:

Well I wasn’t quite able to fixt, but I was able to remove the plugin.
