VIDEO: Putting Your Site In Maintenance Mode

Do you let everyone have a look at the site you're building when you're not ready for that?



You really don't want to do that. Unless you take some simple action, that is exactly what will happen.
 

The WP Maintenance Mode plugin is an excellent way to keep prying eyes off your site while it is under construction. It's also a good way to prevent Google from indexing your site until it is launched.
 

This plugin is also great if you need to take your site offline for any kind of temporary maintenance work.

Introducing Gutenberg Templates Library

This is so cool. But you have to be using Gutenberg, the block editor, to use it. If you can copy and paste you can do this.
