Robert,
I figured out a work around, I’m using the plugin, “Smart Maintenance Mode.” This plugin allows for you to put in IP addresses for who you want to view the website while your in maintenance mode and you can select user roles. The only bad part is you have to code/style your own maintenance page, there are no templates. I like WP-Maintenance mode but I was limited with what I could do and was getting no support.
