Usage

1. How to Enable/Disable:
* Go to Settings > Coming Soon.
* Use the top toggle “Enable Coming Soon Mode” to turn the page on or off.
* Blue = Active (Visitors see Coming Soon page), Grey = Disabled (Site is live).

2. Designing the “Glass” Effect:
* Go to the Design tab.
* Upload a high-quality Background Image.
* Adjust Content Opacity (try 85%) and Background Blur (try 10px) to create the frosted glass look.

3. Setting up the Countdown & Auto-Launch:
* Go to the Elements tab.
* Check “Enable Timer” and pick your launch date/time.
* Important: Check “Auto-Launch” if you want the plugin to automatically disable itself when the timer hits zero.

4. Sharing with Clients (Secret Access):
* Go to the Advanced tab.
* Enter a secret keyword (e.g., preview) in the Bypass Keyword field.
* Save changes and copy the “Magic Link” generated below the field. Anyone with this link can see the real site.

5. Adding Tracking (GA4/Pixel):
* Go to the Advanced tab.
* Paste your code into the Header Scripts box. It will only load on the Coming Soon page.
