    Hi,
    I have looked everywhere online but i cant seem to find any documentation on how to set up the Redirection setting : If you want to redirect a user (with no access to Dashboard/Backend) to a URL (different from WordPress Dashboard URL) after login, then define a URL (incl. http://)

    I want to be able to let my clients preview their site before going live without having to log-in to main wordpress back-end – is this possible?

    I have entered a URL into this section but how do I allow clients to “log-in” or access this URL to view the site? As the URL is not loading at all?

    Thanks!

    Hi. Sorry for not replying sooner – I never received a notification that you had posed a question!

    Sorry if the documentation is not too clear – I have taken over the plugin, but most of the documentation still was written by the original author, and things have changed a little but I haven’t actually had a chance to revise the documentation.

    Yes, this is possible – that’s what Access Keys are for. In the settings page, under access keys, enter a name and an email address (yours or your client’s) and click on Add New Access Key. This will send an email with a special link that will set a cookie in the visitor’s browser to tell Maintenance Redirect that the full site should be shown.

    The link will look something like this:

    Hope that helps
