How to develop site offline
Hi
This maybe a stupid question, l may be just missing something.
I have the under construction plugin installed, works just great. But how on earth do l develop my site through the Admin panel, see my changes behind scenes as l make them (sort of live view) / behind the public under construction page ? I do not want to keep switching the under construction plugin "off and On" to view my changes.
PS. l am hosting with GoDaddy, which is just great compared to others l have hosted with, anyway maybe someone can help.

Hi Andrew,
You just need to add your IP address under the "Allowed IP-addresses".
Login to your Flynax admin > Basic Settings > Under construction

Hi Samuel
Thanks for the details / help.
Since last weeks installation ip ranges "127.0.0.1;212.112.126.23" values have been within the "allowed IP addresses" box in the "under construction plugin. I checked my IP address on my router, my IP address for my Mac Pro is within this range. So just for clarity, this is what l am doing, just incase l am doing something completely stupid.
1. with underconstruction plugin turned on in Admin (with IP ranges set as above), plugin displays the default Flynax underconstruction screen as expected
2. I log into my Flynax Admin page, and click the "User Interface" button at the top of the Admin panel, l get only the underconstruction screen.
3. Obviously, when l disable the underconstruction plugin, and then press the "User Interface" button again, it gives me my Flynax index page as expected.
4. just for the hell of it, l completely, removed / uninstalled the plugin from the server, then re installed. enter the IP ranges as above and still the same issue. Then for 1 last attempt, l removed the IP ranges in the plugin, and entered just my single Mac Pro IP address, still the same problem.
I am not doing something completely wrong am l ?, missing something / a big bit of grey matter in my head ?

you need to go to website like myipaddress.com, then take that ip number and put it in admincp > basic > under construction, delete every other ip else.
