Basic uses:

2. Putting your site in a “maintenance mode” quickly

FAQ

Will this work with my theme?

Yes. The default template is extremely simple and should fit in with most any theme. You can also add a custom template to your theme.

How do I customize the front door?

You can copy the login.php file from the <plugin-directory>/templates/ to your theme directory and customize it to your needs. Do not edit the <plugin-directory>/templates/login.php file directly, as it could be overwritten by later plugin updates.

What happens if I go directly to an admin URL?

Admin pages bypass the front door. For example, if you go to http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/ and you are not logged in, you will be redirected to http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php by the default WordPress behavior. This is to prevent the site admin from accidentally locking themselves out of their site by specifying a custom front door page with no login form.
