## Description

Rokku Maintenance Mode lets administrators easily enable a maintenance mode for 
their WordPress site.
 When enabled, non-logged-in visitors will see a custom maintenance
page with:

 * A custom logo
 * A headline message
 * A WYSIWYG text message

The WordPress admin bar turns red while maintenance mode is active, and an admin
notice is displayed.

Perfect for site updates or temporary downtime, without the complexity.

## Installation

## FAQ

site.
