Hello @irenelinda,
There are two methods to achieve what you want. Unfortunately, both are pretty technical.
1. Install and use Loco Translate https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/loco-translate/
2. Edit the maintenance mode page. Here’s how:
– copy maintenance.php from /wp-content/plugins/wp-maintenance-mode/views/ to /wp-content/
– rename the file to wp-maintenance-mode.php
– edit wp-maintenance-mode.php to change the text of that button:
<input type="submit" value="<?php _e('Subscribe', $this->plugin_slug); ?>" />
I think the second method is much easier than the first one.

George, thanks so much for your suggestion – and for posting it so fast.
It sounds as if you feel the php method is easier than the plugin. If so, I can understand what you’re saying and may feel brave enough to try.
I also might decide it is a bit too much to undertake for a page that won’t be up there for long!
One question: to change “submit” to “Sign Up”, would I just do it like this:
<input type="submit" value="
<input type="Sign Up" value="
Or do I need punctuation or anything between “sign” and “up”?
Thanks again for so detailed an answer!
Linda
@irenelinda you have to replace this line of code:
<input type="submit" value="<?php _e('Subscribe', $this->plugin_slug); ?>" />
with this line:
<input type="submit" value="<?php _e('Sign Up', $this->plugin_slug); ?>" />

Thanks, George. I knew I needed to replace the whole line. I’d just copied the one bit with the word to replace (submit). Sorry for the confusion, but appreciate you being sure I had it right! 🙂
Will post back once I give it a try.

Hi @georgejipa ,
I have the same question but so far I can’t edit the php file. I’m using text edit on mac but I don’t get the line of code you are mentioning above.
I get something like this:
plugin_settings[‘modules’][‘subscribe_status’]) && $this->plugin_settings[‘modules’][‘subscribe_status’] == 1 // If the bot is active, legacy subscribe form will be hidden // !empty($this->plugin_settings[‘bot’][‘status’]) && && $this->plugin_settings[‘bot’][‘status’] === 0 ) { ?> plugin_settings[‘modules’][‘subscribe_text’])) { ?>
plugin_settings[‘modules’][‘subscribe_text’]); ?>
Are you able to help please?
Cheers
Cyrielle
George,
Help!
Just now I went to my Admin panel to edit the coming soon page we’d created with your plugin. I had deactivated it until it was time to post it.
It has disappeared from my plugin list. How do I get it back? I didn’t delete it, just deactivated it.
Slightly panicked,
Linda
@irenelinda WordPress does not automatically delete plugins. So, I don’t see how the plugin disappeared from “Plugins” > “Installed plugins” without deleting it.
Anyway, you can reinstall it (if indeed disappeared).
George, thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I feel like a total twit! I was looking on the wrong site: the new one we’re developing instead of the old one which will have the notice! Totally my fault: sorry for wasting your time.
With embarrassment,
Linda
@irenelinda no worries. 🙂
Thanks, George! You made me feel better. 🙂
Linda
Thanks George, in the end I used the Loco Translate option
