How switching works.

  1. 01

    Check your site

    Run the free site check to see which of your plugins Presscomet replaces and what needs attention.

  2. 02

    Run the migration

    Connect your WordPress site. Content, users, media and plugin settings are imported into a new Presscomet site; your live site is only read.

  3. 03

    Review and switch

    Open Settings → Maintenance to check the imported settings, then point your domain at the new site when you’re happy.

Where to find it: Settings → Maintenance.

Maintenance Mode: questions

Can I keep working while it’s on?

Yes. Logged-in users see the real site; everyone else sees the coming-soon or maintenance page.

Can I keep running SeedProd Coming Soon instead?

No. Presscomet doesn’t run PHP, so WordPress plugins can’t be installed. The bundled Maintenance Mode plugin does the job instead, and the migration imports the settings listed above.

Does Presscomet support WooCommerce?

Not today. Presscomet is for content sites — blogs, magazines, business and documentation sites. If your site sells through WooCommerce, it isn’t a fit yet.
