Suggestion: Allow under-construction.php in Child theme

  • First: great plugin, works exactly as advertised.

    Because I am sometimes using Child themes (where I do not want to affect the Parent theme at all), I realized that use of a custom ‘under-construction.php’ file only worked if placed in the Parent.

    I made the following small changes to my working UnderConstruction files.

    My suggestion is that the Plugin be changed in the same manner, so that ‘under-construction.php’ can be placed in the Child or the Parent theme.

    Changes made:
    – to underConstruction.php, line 129
    – to ucOptions.php, line 149

    On both lines,
    – replace: get_template_directory() // only checks Parent
    – with: get_stylesheet_directory() // so that Child, then Parent, is checked

    Just a thought. For me, this is definitely the preferred way to go. Thanks again.

  • Thank you for sharing, I was starting to wonder after a few minutes of testing if the file either needed to be in a folder or the parent theme.

    I agree this small change should be adopted into the plugin. I use this plugin on almost all my sites during development and find the ability to use the under-construction.php file in child themes is very important.
