Direzione di ricerca

Add an option for 'Simple Message' mode and render the entered text without creating WordPress pages. Done meets the three acceptance criteria.

Description

Problem

Users who only need a quick, standard maintenance notice on their site currently have to import page templates or edit WordPress pages via the Block Editor/page builder. This adds unnecessary complexity for users looking for a straightforward, drop-in maintenance message and creates friction during initial setup.

Desired Behavior

Provide a lightweight alternative in LightStart settings (e.g., under General or Design tab) that allows site owners to enter a plain text or basic HTML notice message. When enabled, this simple mode renders the text message on a clean default layout without requiring page creation, page template imports, or editing site pages in the WordPress page editor.

Acceptance Criteria
  1. Add an option in LightStart settings to select between 'Simple Message' and 'Custom Page/Template' mode.
  2. In 'Simple Message' mode, provide a text area field for entering custom headline and body text (or basic HTML).
  3. Display the simple notice on the front end when maintenance mode is active, without creating a new WordPress page or modifying existing page records.

Customer Context

A user uninstalled the plugin after 9 minutes of activation, expressing frustration that they were forced to edit site pages just to display a basic maintenance message ('what the hell I just want a message on the screen not edit my website pages').

Root Cause Analysis

LightStart forces users down a workflow that creates or assigns WordPress pages and opens the block editor / page builder to display maintenance content. Users who want a fast, zero-configuration setup find editing site pages heavy and intrusive for a temporary maintenance notice. The underlying need is a lightweight mechanism to output a plain text message on the front end without touching site pages or launching page builder editors.

Alternative Suggestions

Add a simple plain-text / rich-text message option directly in the plugin settings that renders a lightweight splash notice without creating or editing WordPress pages.

Reasoning

The user uninstalled LightStart (wp-maintenance-mode) because they felt compelled to edit actual WordPress pages (or import page templates and deal with page/block editors) just to display a simple maintenance message. LightStart currently relies on page templates and editing pages via the WordPress Block Editor / page builder to display content on maintenance mode. Instead of creating new pages or editing site pages, users seeking a lightweight maintenance message could be served by a simple plain text / HTML message field directly within the plugin's settings, bypassing page creation entirely.
