suggestion: option to automatically enable maintenance page while updating

    the plugin is great and usually works as needed. I do notice occasionally that during updates, it will display the wordpress routine maintenance page instead of the coming soon maintenance mode page… but it is random when I notice it. but really I’m starting this thread for a suggested feature:

    there should be an option box in the settings that allows the CS maintenance mode to be enabled automatically when you begin plugin or theme updates, automatic core updates etc. this way, automatic updates could benefit from the plugin as well, and there’s less of a chance of forgetting to enable maintenance mode before starting manual updates.

    edit: it won’t let me reply to you since you marked it resolved…

    so why not have the plugin generate a maintenance.php file that matches the plugin’s design and content settings? this would make it simple to deal with. if the plugin does not have permissions enough to drop the file where it goes, it could be a downloadable file that the administrator ftps into position… but having it use the same css and settings as the plugin maintenance mode would bring things together full circle.

    Thanks for the suggestion! WordPress is actually disabled when doing those updates. So no plugins run. See this for a better explanation and work around https://www.seedprod.com/how-to-create-custom-maintenance-mode-page-wordpress/
