Universal Splash Page

Put a Polished Splash Screen on Your Site in Seconds

Show visitors a branded “Coming Soon” or maintenance page while your team works behind the scenes—without touching your theme or disrupting logins.

What It Does

Universal Splash Page adds a branded splash or maintenance screen for logged-out visitors. Logged-in users see your site as normal, so your team can keep building, editing, or launching—privately and uninterrupted.

Why It Matters

Protect Your Brand
Don’t let broken layouts, draft content, or half-built pages leak to the public.

Work Without Roadblocks
Admins, editors, and contributors keep full access while the public sees a clean, branded message.

Toggle Instantly
Turn the splash screen on or off with a single click in the WordPress Admin Bar.

Zero Theme Edits
No need to modify templates, mess with page builders, or break your layout.

Key Features

  • Smart Visibility
    Shows only to logged-out visitors. Logged-in users bypass it automatically.
  • Custom Branding
    Use your logo, background, and message—set easily via the WordPress Media Library.
  • Admin Bar Toggle
    Enable or disable from anywhere in wp-admin, instantly.
  • Built-in Login Link
    Clients and editors can sign in right from the splash screen.
  • Save Shortcut

  • Safe Defaults
    Forgot to set an image or message? No problem—defaults kick in cleanly.
  • Update Friendly
    Includes a “Check for updates” link in the Plugins list.
  • Lightweight & Secure
    No bloated code. Text is sanitized and the splash runs independently of your theme.
