## Descrição

Simple Coming Soon is the easiest way to hide your site from visitors while you 
work on it. Features Pro-level design controls, Auto-Launch Timer, 5 Design Presets,
and a handy Admin Bar Status Indicator.

**🔥 Key Features:**

 * **5 Design Presets:** Apply a complete visual style in one click — Minimal, SaaS
   Dark, Product Launch, Agency, or Event.
 * **Animated Backgrounds:** Choose from Solid Color, Gradient, Animated Mesh, Background
   Image, or Video URL.
 * **Tabbed Settings UI:** Organized interface for easier customization.
 * **SEO & Visibility:** Set custom Meta Titles and Descriptions for Google.
 * **One-Click Enable/Disable:** Instantly turn maintenance mode on or off.
 * **Pro Action Button:** Full CTA design control with live preview — colors, hover,
   border, radius, padding, and shadow. Default and Hover colors in separate tabs.
 * **Launch Progress Bar:** Show visitors how close you are to launch with an animated
   fill bar.
 * **Analytics Integration:** Add Google Analytics (GA4), Facebook Pixel, or other
   tracking scripts.
 * **Modern Social Icons:** Support for TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), 
   Facebook, and Instagram.
 * **Shadow Presets:** Apply professional shadow styles (Soft, Medium, Hard, Deep
   3D).
 * **Smart Countdown:** Responsive countdown clock with Screen Reader support.
 * **Auto-Launch Mode:** Automatically publish your site when the countdown ends.
 * **Secret Bypass Link:** Share a “Magic Link” (e.g., `/?secret=clientview`) to
   let clients see the site without an account.
 * **Frosted Glass Effect:** Modern Apple-style “Glassmorphism” look with Blur and
   Opacity controls.
 * **Admin Status Indicator:** Quickly see if your site is “Locked” or “Live” via
   the WP Admin Bar.
 * **True Visitor Preview:** See exactly what a logged-out visitor sees, in a new
   tab, while you stay logged in.
 * **SEO Friendly:** Sends a proper 503 HTTP status code to search engines.

### Usage

**1. How to Enable/Disable:**
 * Go to **Settings > Coming Soon**. * Use the top
toggle to turn the page on or off. * The Admin Bar badge reflects your current status
from anywhere in wp-admin.

**2. Choosing a Design Preset:**
 * Go to the **Design** tab and click any preset
button. * Presets apply colors, font, glassmorphism, and background mode together—
no page reload required. * Customize any individual field after applying a preset,
then click Save.

**3. Designing the “Glass” Effect:**
 * Go to the **Design** tab. * Upload a Background
Image or choose Animated Mesh for a no-image glassmorphism look. * Adjust **Card
Opacity** and **Blur Radius** to create the frosted glass effect.

**4. Setting up the Countdown & Auto-Launch:**
 * Go to the **Elements** tab. * 
Enable the timer and pick your launch date/time. * Check “Auto-Launch” to show your
real site automatically when the timer hits zero. * The countdown and Auto-Launch
use the timezone set in **Settings > General**. * Auto-Launch does not switch the
Coming Soon toggle off. If you later move the target date into the future, the Coming
Soon page is shown again.

**5. Sharing with Clients (Secret Access):**
 * Go to the **Advanced** tab. * Enter
a secret keyword (e.g., `preview`) in the **Secret Key** field. * Save and copy 
the Magic Link. Anyone with this link can see the real site.

**6. Adding Tracking (GA4/Pixel):**
 * Go to the **Advanced** tab. * Paste your 
code into the **Header Scripts** box. It only loads on the Coming Soon page (it 
does not run in the True Visitor Preview).

**7. Previewing what visitors see:**
 * Click **Preview Coming Soon Page** at the
top of **Settings > Coming Soon**, or in the “Coming Soon” admin bar menu. * The
preview opens in a new tab and shows the page exactly as a logged-out visitor sees
it, using your saved settings. It works whether Coming Soon is on or off and does
not change anything on your site.

## Instalação

 1. Upload the `simple-coming-soon` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. **Navigate to Settings > Coming Soon** to configure your page.
 4. Flip the toggle to enable maintenance mode and click “Save Changes”.

## Perguntas frequentes

### Q: Why can I still see my website after enabling the plugin?

A: Administrators (users who can manage options) see the real site so they can keep
working on it. To see what visitors see, click **Preview Coming Soon Page** in Settings
> Coming Soon or in the admin bar.

### Q: Who can bypass the Coming Soon page?

A: Administrators, and anyone who has opened your Secret Access link. Since 1.4.9,
other logged-in users (subscribers, customers, authors, editors) see the Coming 
Soon page like any visitor; they can still log in and use their dashboard.

### Q: How do I let my client see the site without giving them a login?

A: Use the **Secret Client Access** feature in the Advanced tab. Set a keyword, 
save, and send them the generated Magic Link. They will be whitelisted via a browser
cookie.

### Q: My background or colors aren’t changing when I save.

A: This is usually caused by a caching plugin (like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache).
Clear your site cache after saving settings.

### Q: Does the Countdown Timer work in all timezones?

A: Yes. The target date is read in your WordPress timezone (Settings > General),
so every visitor counts down to the same moment wherever they are.

### Q: Will this hurt my Google ranking?

A: No. This plugin sends a **503 Service Unavailable** header with a Retry-After
value. This tells Google the site is temporarily down for maintenance, preserving
your SEO.

### Q: How do I change the font?

A: Go to the **Design** tab and use the **Font** dropdown. Choose from Inter, Poppins,
Merriweather, Playfair Display, or Space Mono.

### Q: Can I apply a preset and then customize it?

A: Absolutely. Presets populate the form fields — nothing is locked. Change any 
field after applying a preset before saving.

## Registro de alterações

#### 1.4.9

 * **New:** True Visitor Preview — “Preview Coming Soon Page” button (settings page
   and admin bar) shows exactly what logged-out visitors see, without logging out
   or using a private window. Administrators only; nonce-protected; Header Scripts
   do not run in the preview; nothing on the site changes.
 * **Change:** Only administrators (the `manage_options` capability) bypass the 
   Coming Soon page. Previously any logged-in user, including subscribers and customers,
   saw the real site.
 * **Fix:** The plugin’s stylesheet, Google Font and font rule no longer load on
   the live site. Previously they loaded on every page and could replace your theme’s
   font even with Coming Soon off.
 * **Fix:** The countdown now uses the WordPress timezone for every visitor (previously
   it used each visitor’s own timezone).
 * **Fix:** The expired countdown no longer re-renders every second, and the screen-
   reader time is correct from the start.
 * **Fix:** An invalid target date no longer triggers Auto-Launch; the date is validated
   on save.
 * **Fix:** Removed the duplicate `<title>` tag on classic themes.
 * **Fix:** Body text containing “&” no longer appears as “&” in the settings field.
 * **Fix:** Background images whose URL contains a query string now display correctly.
 * **Fix:** Cards taller than the screen can be scrolled to the top on desktop; 
   large logos and long button text no longer overflow on phones.
 * **Fix:** The Action Button live preview shadows now match the real page.
 * **Fix:** The Card Opacity slider no longer rounds values to multiples of 5 when
   saving (the SaaS Dark and Event presets previously saved 10% instead of 12% and
   8%).
 * **Fix:** Removed the duplicate “Settings saved.” notice.
 * **Fix:** Icons in the settings page header buttons are now vertically centred
   with their labels.
 * **Fix:** SaaS Dark and Product Launch preset text colors lightened slightly (#
   94a3b8  #a4b2c6, #a1a1aa  #b4b4bd) so body text and the progress label reach 
   4.5:1 contrast. Applies when the preset is applied; saved colors are not changed.
 * **Performance:** The background video is no longer downloaded on screens 768px
   wide or narrower, or for visitors who prefer reduced motion (it was already hidden
   there).
 * **Improvement:** Settings page shows “Auto-Launched” status in the status card
   and admin bar when the countdown has ended.
 * **Improvement:** Settings that do not apply are hidden (countdown, progress bar,
   action button and each background mode); with JavaScript unavailable all settings
   stay visible. Background Image and Background Color moved to the Background card;
   in Video mode the fallback color is labelled as such.
 * **Improvement:** Settings page layout on phones; settings no longer disappear
   if browser storage is blocked.
 * **Security:** Secret Access cookie is now HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax (and Secure
   on HTTPS), compared in constant time; the Magic Link is URL-encoded and keys 
   with special characters work.
 * **Security:** Defense-in-depth escaping for colors and the background image URL
   in the page CSS.
 * **Accessibility:** Visible keyboard focus and descriptive labels for toggle switches;
   labels linked to their fields; stronger focus ring; higher-contrast help text;
   progress bar has an accessible name; reduced-motion visitors no longer get the
   animated mesh or autoplaying video; “Launching Soon!” uses the Heading Color 
   for contrast.
 * **Improvement:** Front-end, admin bar and admin script strings are translatable.
 * **Dev:** Single `SCS_VERSION` constant for asset versions (assets were still 
   versioned 1.4.6).
 * **Dev:** Plugin header license now reads “GPLv2 or later” with a License URI,
   matching this readme.
 * **Compatibility:** Tested with WordPress 7.1 (7.1.2 and 7.1.3) on PHP 8.2, 8.3
   and 8.4.

#### 1.4.8

 * **Note:** Versions 1.4.6 and 1.4.7 were withdrawn due to a deployment issue that
   caused the admin UI to appear unstyled for users updating via the WordPress dashboard.
   This release supersedes both and is the stable version to update to.
 * **New:** 5 one-click Design Presets (Minimal, SaaS Dark, Product Launch, Agency,
   Event) — apply colors, font, glassmorphism, and background mode together.
 * **New:** Background Mode selector — Solid Color, Gradient, Animated Mesh, Background
   Image, and Video URL.
 * **New:** Launch Progress Bar with customizable label, animated fill, and live
   admin slider preview.
 * **Redesigned:** CTA Action Button card — live preview, tabbed Default/Hover color
   panels, slider-based radius and padding controls.
 * **Redesigned:** Full admin dashboard rewrite — card-based layout, animated toggles,
   sticky save bar, staggered animations.
 * **Redesigned:** Frontend visual layer — ambient background orbs, spring-easing
   card entrance, staggered element animations, upgraded countdown boxes and social
   icons.
 * **Accessibility:** All presets now pass WCAG 2.1 AA color contrast. Fixed SaaS
   Dark button contrast from 4.3:1 to 6.2:1. Timer colors corrected for dark-background
   presets.
 * **Fix:** Progress label and percentage now inherit the user-set text color.
 * **Improvement:** All admin strings use the `simple-coming-soon` text domain —
   fully translation-ready.

#### 1.4.5

 * **Fix:** Added `nocache_headers` to prevent Cloudflare/Edge Caching from displaying
   the “Live” site instead of the “Coming Soon” page.
 * **Fix:** Improved HTTP headers to ensure stronger cache-busting for maintenance
   mode.

#### 1.4.4

 * **New:** “Tabbed Interface” for organized settings (Content, Design, Elements,
   Advanced).
 * **Feature:** Added “Scripts & Analytics” field for GA4/Facebook Pixel integration.
 * **Feature:** Added “One-Click Enable/Disable” toggle in settings.
 * **Feature:** Added “Admin Bar Status Indicator” (WCAG Compliant labels).
 * **New Icons:** Added TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn support.
 * **Fix:** Improved padding logic with smart fallbacks (12px/25px) for the Pro 
   Action Button.
 * **Fix:** Resolved compliance issues for Google Fonts enqueuing.
 * **Fix:** Resolved color resetting bug when switching between setting tabs.
 * **Fix:** Improved mobile responsiveness and scrolling using modern 100dvh units.
 * **Improved:** Updated documentation and UI layout with Dashicons.

#### 1.4.3

 * **Improved:** Replaced heavy Dashicons with lightweight inline SVGs for better
   performance.
 * **Update:** Updated Twitter logo to the new “X” branding.
 * **Fix:** Removed Dashicons dependency from frontend to improve page load speed.

#### 1.4.2

 * **Massive Update: The “Pro” Release**
 * **New:** Advanced Action Button with Hover, Border, Padding, and Shadow controls.
 * **New:** Smart Countdown Timer with Auto-Launch mode.
 * **New:** “Frosted Glass” design engine (Blur & Opacity).
 * **New:** Secret Client Bypass link to share site access.
 * **Improved:** WCAG Accessibility compliance for social icons and focus states.

#### 1.3.1

 * **Feature:** Added a Settings Page (Settings > Coming Soon).
 * **Feature:** Added Logo Upload capability.
 * **Feature:** Added Customizable Headline and Message fields.
 * **Feature:** Added Social Media icons (Facebook, X, Instagram).
 * **Style:** Complete visual overhaul with modern gradient background and animations.
 * **Compatibility:** Tested up to WordPress 6.9.

#### 1.0.2

 * Fixed: Removed global `<body>` styling that caused the plugin to cover site headers
   and sections.
 * Fixed: Ensured the coming soon page displays correctly without breaking the site
   layout.
 * Improved: Wrapped content in a dedicated `.scs-wrapper` for safer styling.
 * Improved: Added responsive design with mobile-friendly font sizes.

#### 1.0.0
