2 suggestions to your awesome plugin!

[Tim(othy) Stevens]

I have 2 minor suggestions I make locally to your awesome plugin, that fixes the only 2 issues we always have. I can make a pull request if you prefer, just let me know.

1. Line breaks not respected.
   – In your get_content() method (line 534) of lj-maintenance-mode.php you are using wpautop, but not nl2br. Because you are not using the WordPress get_content, you are losing the line breaks. To fix this simply put nl2br after the wpautop line e.g.
   $content = apply_filters(‘wpautop’, $content);
   $content = nl2br($content);

2. No html wrapper
   – Styling the css is limited because you don’t wrap the content in a div wrapper. If you were to wrap all the content in a div wrap (or even 2 would be better), then the styling possibilities would be far greater. e.g. we usually want our maintenance page to be a logo with contact details, center aligned vertical and horizontal. Without a div wrapper this is not possible.
   – An easy solution is this (line 560):
   return ‘

   ’ . $analytify . $code . $stylesheet . $widget_before . $content . $widget_after . ‘
   ’;

Thanks for such an aweosme plugin, I appreciate the simplicity!!

Hi Lukas and Tim,

Minor Request 1 (above)

Choosing not to implement in 2.5.1 as it generates <p></p><br> which messes with spacing, presentation and look-n-feel of any current maintenance mode content added to each site where the plugin is installed; which is not backward compatible with all existing installations.

Observation: While unit testing the proposed code enhancement, it was observed that the existing built in WordPress Rich Text Editor (RTE)(with Visual & Test edit mode tabs) did actually respect "\n" as a new line between paragraphs (</p> <p>).
It would output </p>&nbsp;<p> ... but only when the <p> had no-styling.
As soon as I did something like <p style="text-align: center;"></p> then wpautop() would delete the blank line.

Solution: When editing the RTE content on our sites; leave all newlines left aligned, with no RTE formatting, and then the new line would be identified, respected and left-alive in the generated output.

Minor Request 2 (above)

Adding the two div's after the style seems to work well, while remaining backward compatible with any of us who are using the maintenance.min.css feature in our theme.

return $analytify . $code . $stylesheet . '<div class="ljmm-wrapper"><div class="ljmm-content">' . $widget_before . $content . $widget_after . '</div></div>';
