## Beschreibung

#### About

With this lightweight plugin you can close your website on selected days of the 
week.

On selected days your website is closed and a landing page is displayed.

When to use:

 * Close webshop during your holiday
 * Close for religious reasons
 * Close for maintenance or under construction

Main difference between this plugin and similar plugins is that you can select certain
days instead of just closing your website.

This plugin can also be used for creating a coming soon page.

#### How to use

After installation go to the settings page. This page is located at Settings > Website
closed.

Select days and customize the landing page that is displayed when website is closed.

#### Styling

Custom styling of the landing page via page Additional CSS of the Customizer is 
being ignored. But you can add custom styling via the settings page.

#### Have a question?

Please take a look at the FAQ section.

#### Translation

Translations are not included, but the plugin supports WordPress language packs.

More [translations](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/very-simple-website-closed)
are very welcome!

The translation folder inside this plugin is redundant, but kept for reference.

#### Credits

Without help and support from the WordPress community I was not able to develop 
this plugin, so thank you!

## FAQ

### How do I set plugin language?

The plugin will use the website language, set in Settings > General.

If translations are not available in the selected language, English will be used.

### Which timezone does the plugin use?

It uses the local timezone set in Settings > General.

### Can I preview the landing page before closing website?

Yes, this is possible. Plugin has a preview feature.

### Can I close a website permanently?

Yes, this is possible. Just select all days and save the page.

### Where to find the image ID?

Every image contains an unique ID. You will find this ID when hovering the image
title in the media library of your dashboard (list view) or when editing the image.

It’s the number that comes after: `post=` or `item=`

### Is SEO taken into account?

Yes, when plugin is active it adds a 503 Service Unavailable server error response
code. This tells search engines that your site is (temporary) down.

### Why is there no semantic versioning?

The version number won’t give you info about the type of update (major, minor, patch).
You should check the changelog to see whether or not the update is a major or minor
one.

### How can I make a donation?

You like my plugin and want to make a donation? There’s a PayPal donate link at 
my website. Thank you!

### Other questions or comments?

Please open a topic in the WordPress.org support forum for this plugin.

I use this to automatically close our congregational website (fpchurchsantafe.org)
on the Lord’s Day. It took me less than 5 minutes to setup and I believe every WordPress
website should use it. Kind regards to the author of the plugin!

### 󠀁[Fantastic plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastic-plugin-969/)󠁿

 [Pieter](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pieter2000/) 28. Juni 2018

This plugin just works fantastic, has a clean code, no hidden scripts, and has a
very simple user interface. I would recommend this plugin If you are looking for
a simple maintenance plugin or if you just want to close your website on a specific
day, like Sunday, due to religious reasons. Guido, keep up the good work!
