 * I’v installed, configured and enabled the plugin, but the website is still visible.
   
   The plugin is not working as it appears that it should.

 * Not surprising since it hasn’t been updated since 2010 and says it only works
   up to 3.0.5.
 * I suggest trying something more current, like one of these:

 * This plugin works great even now. I have it installed on more than 30 projects.
 * [@misubisu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/misubisu/) are you sure you have
   seen all the plugin settings?

 * I also have been using it for a long time and can see no issues with it.
