Well… turns out it’s just the name. I suppose with the latest update they made that a function or something.

Still sends 200 OK header..

Yes, this error exists with your plugin. Turn on the under construction page and check the header response with something like https://web-sniffer.net/. If it has a 301 permanently moved header, that is very bad. If it has 200 ok that is also bad because search engine crawlers will crawl the page when you don’t want it to. it should send a 503 temporarily moved header.

When you make a construction mode plugin, it should be step one to make sure you’re sending the correct headers. If you don’t, then you not only destroy SEO but you also risk permanently rendering your site dead in the eyes of major websites.

I will not take back my review unless it it fixed. You can’t make a plugin that risks destroying peoples website and then say you don’t deserve a bad review.

That is a workaround, but it adds a large amount of blank space in between each author box, and I do not want that.
