 * Agreed!
 * We were in a position where we needed a quick fix while I figure out a better
   solution.
    We are using the plugin more as a pre-launch splash screen to collect
   leads during social media hype campaign. So we needed the page to be live and
   not a 503 error page from the host.
 * This worked. Though I stated it was probably not recommended, I shared it just
   in case others were in this position.
 * Cheers

 * [@navana5624](https://wordpress.org/support/users/navana5624/) I was having this
   same issue and I am also on Hostgator. My fix is probably not recommended as 
   it isn’t a permanent fix, but it will work for me.
 * I’ll share what I did, **BUT proceed at your own risk!**
 * I edited the PHP code on lines 491 and 492 of file /wp-content/plugins/wp-maintenance-
   mode/classes/wp-maintenance-mode.php. I changed the 503 to a 200.
 * This solution will break when the plugin is updated again. The 200 is the HTTP
   error code and it may not be the best to set it at 200 for other use cases.

 * Well it seems I am going to eat some of my own words. I don’t know why it was
   so sudden and it seemed to match up with wordpress updating, but it had nothing
   to do with wordpress and your plug-in and everything to do with Chrome which 
   I thought was up to date but I had to force an update which fixed the playing
   issue not just on my wordpress site also on Amazon video which is what tipped
   me off.
 * **FYI for anyone who cares**. I found out the playing issues was associated with
   a bad mime as far as my site went. My converting software wasn’t setting the 
   mime to video/mp4 but to plain/text. When I used a different converting software
   and fixed the mime the video played with out issue.

 * Just a quick update: Firefox says “HTML5: Unsupported video format. try installing
   Adobe flash” Which I don’t have installed in firefox yet. Just so it is known
   the videos are .mp4/H.264
