20261 release

  1. Maintenance Redirect 2.2.1Latest

    • Fixed conflict with PublishPress Capabilities plugin’s admin notices cleanup function. Thanks to @manni02 for bringing that to my attention.

20252 releases

  1. Maintenance Redirect 2.2

    • Updated minimum requirements for WP (6.1).
    • Added built-in WordPress code editor to the HTML field. Thanks to @maurofon for the idea to do this.

  2. Maintenance Redirect 2.1.1

    • Updated minimum requirements for PHP (7.4).
    • Removed the checking of X-FORWARDED-FOR header to get the IP address for the whitelisting bypass as some over-zealous security researcher says that can be spoofed. Access through a proxy must now be made by whitelisting the proxy IP rather than the end-user’s.

20243 releases

  1. Maintenance Redirect 2.1.0

  2. Maintenance Redirect 2.0.1

    • Added clarification to readme and on-screen info about the scope of what this plugin blocks (see FAQs)

  3. Maintenance Redirect 2.0

    • Updated minimum requirements for WP (5.1) and PHP (5.6).
    • Updated the UI with tabs for each of the sections.
    • Changed the activation method from a select menu to a toggle switch.
    • Split the HTML and Message storage in the database to separate fields. When the plugin is updated the message text should be copied across, but please do double-check. I suggest that you make a copy of your message or HTML before updating just in case.
    • Tweaked the HTML used for the Message option.
    • Added an option to delete all of the plugin’s settings and database tables the next time that the plugin is deleted using the Plugins screen. There are caveats – see the About & Options tab in the plugin settings page for more info.
    • Added responsive styling for the IP addresses and Access Keys tables to better display on mobile phone screens.
    • Tidied up some of the on-screen information.
    • Added an about section with a link to “buy me a coffee” 🙂
    • Additional minor code tweaks

20201 release

  1. Maintenance Redirect 1.6

    • Added wpjf3_matches filter to allow programatical bypasses. Thanks to @brianhenryie for this.

  1. Maintenance Redirect 1.5.1

    • Phooey! Found a couple of translation strings that I missed on the previous commit!

  2. Maintenance Redirect 1.5

    • Now translatable! I’m a typical Englishman who doesn’t speak any other language, so at time of release there aren’t any translation packs available. However, if you’re interested in contributing, just pop over to https://translate.wordpress.org/ and get translating!
    • Minimum WordPress requirement now 4.6 due to usage of certain translation bits & bobs.

  3. Maintenance Redirect 1.4

    • Plugin taken over by @petervandoorn due to being unmaintained for over 4 years.
