Setting up the coming soon plugin

  2. Go to your WordPress dashboard > Plugins > Add New.
  3. Install and activate the CMP - Coming Soon & Maintenance plugin.
  4. Go to CMP Settings > CMP Advanced Setup > Import/Export.
  5. Under Import CMP Settings, click Select Json File. Navigate to the Clover Coming Soon Page file and select the clover-coming-soon.json file.

Customizing the coming soon page

  1. Once you've completed the import, go to CMP Settings > CMP Basic Setup > Content tab.
  2. Replace the Text Logo with your own site title, and replace the Logo Link URL with the link to your website. You can also upload a logo image to replace the text logo if you prefer. Additionally on the Content settings page you can modify the "Coming Soon" text, change the background color (or upload a background image), and link your social icons.
  3. Next, go to the Customize tab. If you'd like to use the font from Clover (Gilda Display), click the Upload Font button at the bottom of the Customize settings page. Select the gildadisplay-webfont.woff file from the Clover Coming Soon Page file. You can also modify your colors and fonts on this settings page.
  4. Lastly, to activate the Coming Soon Page, go to the General Settings tab > CMP Status and click Enabled.
Optional: You can modify your Coming Soon Page SEO (title, description, favicon, etc) for the SEO & Analytics tab.

Launching your site

The Coming Soon Page will only be visible when you are logged out of your WordPress dashboard. When logged in, you'll still see your theme. This allows you to edit and customize your theme behind the scenes, while visitors see your Coming Soon Page.

When you are ready to launch your site, go to CMP Settings > CMP Basic Setup > General Settings > CMP Status. Click Disabled. We also recommend deactivating or deleting the plugin if you no longer need a Coming Soon Page.
