 * After installing WP maintenance mode 5.4 on wordpress 3.2.1 – nothing happens.
   WordPress does not recognize it.

 * Same issue here. I am running WP in Network (multi-site) mode; you too?

 * Also, did you find a similar plugin that works? I also tried WP Maintenace Mode
   and is not working either…

 * I uninstalled wp maintenance mode and installed maintenance mode. After activating
   it, in the settings, there is an additional setting: Activate/Deactivate Maintenance
   Mode – set this to ACTIVE and this one works.

 * I just downloaded it, activated it then went to settings and set the mode to 
   active. Works perfectly.

 * I had the same problem with a new installation. I changed the theme from Twenty-
   Eleven to Twenty-Ten then it worked.
