Coming Soon Mode
Put the site into maintenance mode and show a branded coming-soon page, with an optional countdown, to everyone but admins.
Where to find it: Go to HighendHighend OptionsComing Soon Mode.
When Under Construction Mode is on, only users who can manage the site's appearance (the edit_theme_options capability, which administrators have) still see the real site. This also works on hosts that disable the theme file editor and for site administrators on multisite. Everyone else (including logged-out visitors and lower-role users) is shown the coming soon page on every URL.
Offhb_enable_maintenanceTurns maintenance mode on for the whole site.
Lefthb_maintenance_layout_positionHorizontal alignment of the content on the coming soon page: Left, Center, or Right.
Emptyhb_maintenance_logoLogo shown above the content. Suggested size 177×40px.
We are working on something awesome! ...hb_maintenance_contentThe page's main content, shown below the logo and countdown. Supports shortcodes; <h1> and <h4> get special styling.
#323436hb_maintenance_bg_colorPage background color, visible when no background image is set.
Emptyhb_maintenance_bg_imageBackground image, suggested size 1920×1080px. Covers the background color when set.
Add ?hb_maintenance=yes to any front-end URL to preview the coming soon page without turning Under Construction Mode on.

The maintenance page template
The coming soon page is rendered by page-templates/maintenance.php, a standalone template with its own <head>. It doesn't use your theme's header or footer, so it loads even if the rest of the site is misconfigured. It prints your site icon, the fields above, and the copyright line from Footer Settings.
This tab, and maintenance mode itself, only work if the Theme Settings: Coming Soon Mode module is enabled in Highend Modules. It's on by default.
