Maintenance & Coming Soon Redirect Animation vs VidFlow AI

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. 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.

VidFlow AI lets you generate AI-powered videos directly inside WordPress using your own accounts on supported video platforms. You bring the credentials. The provider does the generation. VidFlow gives you the WordPress UI, storage, polling, local media import, protected playback, and embed workflow. Supported bundled providers in the current release include Kling AI and Hailuo AI / MiniMax. An optional Pro add-on expands workflow tools such as Projects, reusable project assets, tracked batch runs, and merged video workflows. The bundled provider integrations in the free plugin remain BYOK — no paid VidFlow license is required to use them, but your provider may still charge for API usage. Features Generate videos from text prompts with provider-specific settings Add start-frame reference images and compatible end-frame controls Bring your own credentials – you pay the provider directly Standalone Create Video admin page plus Gutenberg sidebar support Gutenberg embed block and shortcode support Video Library admin page with filters, preview, shortcode copy, retry, revoke, and delete actions Background polling so jobs can finish after you leave the page Automatic import of completed videos into protected WordPress uploads when your server allows it Short-lived signed playback and download URLs for embeds and admin preview Browser-generated thumbnails for locally imported videos Plugin-managed settings page for encrypted credentials, connection tests, completion audio, media import readiness, and uninstall cleanup controls Optional Pro Add-on Features Projects for organizing videos by campaign, client, or series Project asset library for reusable reference files Batch generation with tracked runs and retry controls Merged video workflows for sequencing and combining completed clips VidFlow AI never needs to resell generation credits because the plugin talks to providers using your own credentials. External Services VidFlow AI relies on external AI video services only when you configure and use a provider inside the plugin. The bundled provider integrations in the free plugin do not require a VidFlow-hosted license server. Bundled provider services: Kling AI (by Kuaishou) What it is used for: Kling AI is an AI video generation service.

VidFlow AI uses these URLs to import videos into the WordPress Media Library, proxy a download, display an admin preview, or provide a temporary fallback before a local import is available. What data is sent and when: When you import, preview, proxy, or validate provider-hosted media, your WordPress site sends an HTTP HEAD or GET request to the exact media URL returned by the provider. That request can include your site server IP address, normal HTTP request metadata, and the provider-issued media URL or signed URL. VidFlow AI does not add your WordPress user account details or VidFlow settings to these media fetch requests. Terms and privacy: Provider-hosted media URLs are governed by the selected provider’s terms and privacy policy listed above. If a provider returns a signed CDN URL on a separate host, the request is still part of retrieving media generated through that provider. Completed videos may initially be referenced by provider-hosted media URLs returned by the selected provider. VidFlow AI then attempts to import the finished video into protected WordPress uploads and serve it through short-lived signed playback and download URLs. If a local import is not yet available, preview and download actions may continue to rely on the provider-hosted URL until import succeeds or server limits prevent it. If you choose a remote image URL as a reference image, VidFlow AI fetches that image from your WordPress site with the WordPress HTTP API so it can send the image data to the selected provider. Each provider has its own usage policies and pricing. VidFlow AI does not intermediate, resell, or cache provider credentials or generated content on any external server. All communication happens directly between your WordPress site and the provider endpoint you configure.
