Popis
SiteHandoff helps WordPress agencies and freelancers deliver sites to clients in a structured way. While the site is in progress, visitors see a courtesy page with an optional live countdown. Clients and collaborators get individual preview links and can leave per-page feedback directly on the site.
Key Features
- Reviewer management — Add clients or collaborators with individual passwords and share their preview link via copy, email, or WhatsApp.
- Per-page feedback widget — Reviewers and admins can leave comments on any page; feedback is grouped by URL in the admin panel.
- Dashboard overview — See site status, reviewer count, and open feedback at a glance.
- Configurable countdown — Set a launch date and time; the plugin displays a real-time countdown timer.
- Auto-disable — The plugin automatically deactivates itself when the countdown reaches zero.
- Two content modes — Use the WordPress classic editor or insert fully custom HTML.
- Countdown shortcode — Place
[sitehandoff_countdown]anywhere to embed the timer. - Customizable colors — Choose background and accent colors with a built-in color picker.
- Gutenberg block — „Countdown Timer“ block with date picker and redirect on completion.
- Translation ready — Includes a
.potfile with thesitehandofftext domain. Italian translation included.
How It Works
When the plugin is active, all unauthenticated visitors see the courtesy page. Administrators and anyone with a valid reviewer link can view the site normally and leave feedback using the floating widget.

Časté otázky
-
Can I use custom HTML for the page?
-
Yes. In the settings, select the „Custom HTML“ tab and enter the markup you prefer. You can include the
[sitehandoff_countdown]shortcode in your code. -
Does the plugin block administrators too?
-
No. Users with the
manage_optionscapability (typically Administrators) see the site normally and are never redirected to the courtesy page. -
How does a reviewer get access?
-
Add a reviewer from the Revisori page, then share their preview link. The link includes a unique password. After first use, reviewers can browse freely for 48 hours.
-
Does the plugin interfere with REST API or AJAX?
-
No. REST API, AJAX, and WP-Cron requests are automatically excluded from the block.
-
What happens when the countdown expires?
-
If you enabled the „Auto-disable“ option, the plugin deactivates itself automatically when the date is reached. Otherwise, the courtesy page stays active until you manually disable it.
