Better Block Editor (BBE) vs Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation

Better Block Editor (BBE) adds responsive layout controls, hover effects, on-scroll animations, and ready-to-use site templates to Block Editor. It’s not another page builder. It doesn’t replace core blocks or add bloat — BBE just adds the missing settings where needed. It works with your current block theme and plugins, so your existing content stays intact. Highlights Responsive Settings for Row, Stack, Grid, Columns, Button, Navigation, and text (Heading, Paragraph) blocks — choose a breakpoint, then adjust orientation, spacing, and alignment at that breakpoint. Responsive Visibility for any block — set the default visibility state and change it at a chosen breakpoint. Prevent Shrinking for elements set to Fixed or Fit-content sizes — keeps complex layouts intact on small screens. Animation on Scroll — configurable animation effect, easing, duration, and delay. Hover colors for Button and Navigation. Pre-made Sites and Partial Import — bring over a full site or a single page/section; assets import automatically. One-click customization for imported content — set primary, secondary, and neutral colors; BBE creates a balanced palette in one click. Native Block Editor integration — no lock-in, lightweight, GPL, and free.

How it works Import a template and make it yours in minutes with the one-click customization tool. Mix pages and sections from different templates with Partial Import. Create a professional website in hours — not weeks! Features Responsive Settings for Row and Stack — change orientation (convert Row ↔ Stack), justification, vertical alignment, and spacing at a chosen breakpoint. This panel is key to controllable responsive behavior in Block Editor sites. Prevent Shrinking — available when a block’s width/height is set to Fit content or Fixed; prevents fixed-size elements from collapsing on small screens. Responsive Visibility for any block — set the default visibility state (visible/hidden) and change it at a chosen breakpoint. Responsive Settings for Grid — replaces the core Stack on mobile with a dedicated panel to choose the stacking breakpoint and adjust spacing at that breakpoint. Improved Stack on mobile for Columns — choose the breakpoint and optionally reverse the column order at that breakpoint. Navigation overlay menu — replaces the fixed Mobile option with Responsive; pick the exact breakpoint when navigation collapses to a menu icon (useful for headers). Hover color for Navigation — add hover color controls for menu and submenu items. Responsive Settings for Button — control the orientation of inner buttons (stack or reverse), plus justification and vertical alignment at a chosen breakpoint. Hover colors for Button — set text, background, and border colors on hover. Responsive Settings for Post Template (Grid view) — stack posts and adjust spacing at a chosen breakpoint. Animation on Scroll for any block — subtle reveal on scroll with configurable effect, easing, duration, and delay. Responsive text alignment — add alignment controls at a chosen breakpoint for Heading, Paragraph, and select text-based blocks. SVG Icon block + sanitized SVG upload — place SVG icons anywhere; control size, color, hover color, and linking. Breakpoints — edit built-in breakpoints and add or remove custom breakpoints.

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 IP addresses can be set up to completely bypass maintenance mode. 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 key 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 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.
