Questions

I have activated plugin and don’t see any changes, looks like plugin is not working.

Try to check in different browser. If you a logged as WordPress user you see the website in normal mode.

Will my site remain visible to search engines while maintenance mode is on?

The site will not be visible to search engines only if “503 Service Temporarily Unavailable” option is enabled.

Where can I find out the username and password to get to the site?

You can use your “normal” WP administrator access or create a new user in WordPress dashboard – Users.

I haven’t found an answer to my question, what should I do?

Please post the question on the support forum.

How can I report security bugs?
