Hello,
I am almost ready to launch my site using your theme, but it is not a new site, but an existing site with an outdated technology that I changed into a woocommerce shop.
I plan on making the switch with 301 redirects from old pages to the new one, but in order to set up the payment methods I’ll need a few days when the site won’t be available to customers.
I want to use the maintenance mode that seems to work the way I want for visitors (and allows admin to access the site normally).
But I worry about the google (and other SE) ranking during this maintenance : can the SE robots still crawl the pages or will all the pages be redirected to the maintenance page for them? Some maintenance tools seems to allow the robots to crawl, I was curious to know if it is the fact for your maintenance mode…
If not, I will have to find a way (using another maintenance plugin?) to not loose 10 years of google ranking in the switch, I am quite worried about that…
.
