Usage
1. How to Enable/Disable:
* Go to Settings > Coming Soon.
* Use the top toggle to turn the page on or off.
* The Admin Bar badge reflects your current status from anywhere in wp-admin.
2. Choosing a Design Preset:
* Go to the Design tab and click any preset button.
* Presets apply colors, font, glassmorphism, and background mode together — no page reload required.
* Customize any individual field after applying a preset, then click Save.
3. Designing the “Glass” Effect:
* Go to the Design tab.
* Upload a Background Image or choose Animated Mesh for a no-image glassmorphism look.
* Adjust Card Opacity and Blur Radius to create the frosted glass effect.
4. Setting up the Countdown & Auto-Launch:
* Go to the Elements tab.
* Enable the timer and pick your launch date/time.
* Check “Auto-Launch” to have the plugin disable itself automatically when the timer hits zero.
5. Sharing with Clients (Secret Access):
* Go to the Advanced tab.
* Enter a secret keyword (e.g., preview) in the Bypass Keyword field.
* Save and copy the Magic Link. Anyone with this link can see the real site.
6. Adding Tracking (GA4/Pixel):
