Animate My Site vs Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation

Animate My Site allows you to apply an animation style to your entire site with minimal setup. Choose a style once, and animations are automatically applied to selected elements across your pages. Review by WP Tuts Overview of plugin setup, usage, and page- and block-level animation controls. The plugin is built specifically for the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg). Block-level disable controls are available for supported core Gutenberg blocks. Content created with third-party block plugins may still be animated, but block-level disable controls may not be available. This plugin is intended for users who want to elevate the visual feel of their website without the budget or complexity of custom animation development.

This super lightweight plugin is intended primarily for developers, designers and site administrators that need to allow clients to preview the site before being available to the public or to temporarily hide it while undergoing major updates. Any logged-in user with WordPress administrator privileges will be allowed to view the site regardless of the settings in the plugin. The exact privilege can be set using a filter hook – see FAQs. The behaviour of this can be enabled or disabled at any time without losing any of the settings configured in its settings pane. However, deactivating the plugin is recommended versus having it activated while disabled. When redirect is enabled, it can send a different header types. A list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can be set up to completely bypass maintenance mode. IPv4 Class C wildcards are also supported. This option is useful when needing to allow a client’s entire office to access the site while in maintenance mode without needing to maintain individual access keys. Access keys work by creating a temporary cookie on the user’s computer that will be checked against when maintenance mode is active. When a new key is created, a link to create the access key cookie will be emailed to the email address provided. Access can then be revoked either by disabling or deleting the key. Whitelisted User Roles – user roles who see the site, instead of under maintenance page Whitelisted Users – users who see the site, instead of maintenance page Password Access – allow visitors to preview the site with a shared password. Password access lasts for 24 hours in each browser. Custom Maintenance Pages – select a published page from its post list actions to use it as the maintenance page, with an option to exclude individual public posts from maintenance mode. Custom Login URL – optionally restrict direct access to wp-login.php and use a custom login URL instead. Animations : Animation on the web is not only fun, but engaging in such a way that it has converted site visitors into customers even before will be available to the general public and it will make them eagerly await its launch. You can either choose your animation from the library or upload your own; this animation will be shown in front of your site when it is undergoing maintenance.
