Wordpress Toolkit - remove footer from maintenance mode

WorkinOnIt
Hi there When using Wordpress toolkit maintenance mode, it adds the Social icons and the " Powered by WordPress Toolkit " How do we remove these across all sites in the server config section? Is there a master config file we can 'hack' ? I see the section in WHM > WordPress Toolkit Settings But there does not seem to be a way to remove the footer. Thanks

    Hey there! I've reached out to the WordPress Toolkit team and I'll post an update once I've heard back.

    On cPanel systems, there is a template file at /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/wp-toolkit/var/maintenance that you can customize to modify the layout of that maintenance mode template. I hope that helps!

    Does that get overwritten when they update the toolkit ?

    Hey cPRex

    I made the changes in the /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/wp-toolkit/var/maintenance/template.phtml file and reloaded a site that was in maintenance mode, but the old template still shows.

    I'm guessing I need to clear a cache somewhere or force a restart of wptoolkit, but could you clarify what the best way to achieve that would be?

    I'll do some testing with this a bit on Monday, but I may need to poke the team as it's been a bit so things may have changed.  I'll let you know more as soon as I do!

    So it seems things have changed a bit since this thread was originally created.  We now have an interface option that controls that template file you can use, and that will make the changes happen immediately on the domain.  If you click the configuration toggle on the bottom right next to the "Maintenance Mode" button you'll see all the options available that are controlled by the template.  I've attached a screenshot showing this.

     

    When using the interface the changes are reflected immediately on the website, so it sounds like we would prefer people not edit the template files directly at this point.

    Thanks.  While that's helpful for a single site, I need to be able to make the change server wide.  I guess /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/wp-toolkit/var/maintenance/template.phtml file  is the way to do it for now.

    Ah.  I'll poke the WP Toolkit team and see if there is a better option available!

    Apparently there isn't an easy option to get this working.  Your best option is to use the WP Toolkit Rest API.  Details on that can be found in WP Toolkit, Settings, Open REST API documentation.

    You'll want to use the tool to get a list of all installations:


    and then create a for loop to execute this command against all of them:

    DELETE /v1/installations/{installationId}/features/maintenance/template

    That will force each installation to use the default template instead of any local version that may be in place.

    Can you ask them if there a way to specify our own child template on the server? e.g. 

    /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/wp-toolkit/var/maintenance/template_custom.phtml

    I assume the template.phtml will get overwritten when there is an update?

    I've been told the main template.phtml does *not* get overwritten :D
