While the site is in progress, visitors see a courtesy page with an optional live countdown. Clients and collaborators get individual preview links and can leave per-page feedback directly on the site. #### Key Features * **Reviewer management** — Add clients or collaborators with individual passwords and share their preview link via copy, email, or WhatsApp. * **Per-page feedback widget** — Reviewers and admins can leave comments on any page; feedback is grouped by URL in the admin panel. * **Dashboard overview** — See site status, reviewer count, and open feedback at a glance. * **Configurable countdown** — Set a launch date and time; the plugin displays a real-time countdown timer. * **Auto-disable** — The plugin automatically deactivates itself when the countdown reaches zero. * **Two content modes** — Use the WordPress classic editor or insert fully custom HTML. * **Countdown shortcode** — Place `[sitehandoff_countdown]` anywhere to embed the timer. * **Customizable colors** — Choose background and accent colors with a built-in color picker. * **Gutenberg block** — « Countdown Timer » block with date picker and redirect on completion. * **Translation ready** — Includes a `.pot` file with the `sitehandoff` text domain. Italian translation included. #### How It Works When the plugin is active, all unauthenticated visitors see the courtesy page. Administrators and anyone with a valid reviewer link can view the site normally and leave feedback using the floating widget. ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard — Overview of site status, reviewer count, and open feedback.⌉⌊Dashboard— Overview of site status, reviewer count, and open feedback.⌉[ Dashboard — Overview of site status, reviewer count, and open feedback.

[[ ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Countdown Timer Inserisce un countdown personalizzabile per data evento, classi CSS e redirect finale. ## Installation 1. Upload the `sitehandoff` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin directly from the « Plugins > Add New » screen in WordPress. 2. Activate the plugin from the « Plugins » screen. 3. In the admin sidebar you will find the « SiteHandoff » menu item. Click it to access the dashboard. 4. Add reviewers, configure the launch date, content, and colors from the respective pages. ## FAQ ### Can I use custom HTML for the page? Yes. In the settings, select the « Custom HTML » tab and enter the markup you prefer. You can include the `[sitehandoff_countdown]` shortcode in your code. ### Does the plugin block administrators too? No. Users with the `manage_options` capability (typically Administrators) see the site normally and are never redirected to the courtesy page. ### How does a reviewer get access? Add a reviewer from the Revisori page, then share their preview link. The link includes a unique password. After first use, reviewers can browse freely for 48 hours. ### Does the plugin interfere with REST API or AJAX? No. REST API, AJAX, and WP-Cron requests are automatically excluded from the block. ### What happens when the countdown expires? If you enabled the « Auto-disable » option, the plugin deactivates itself automatically when the date is reached. Otherwise, the courtesy page stays active until you manually disable it. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SiteHandoff” is open source software.
