How Do I Make My WordPress Site Temporarily Unavailable?

Making a WordPress site unavailable can be done in a number of ways, depending on the level of access you want to restrict.

If you just want to disable a specific blog post or page for a set amount of time, you can use the enqueue_scripts() function. This function will block all incoming traffic to the post or page for a set amount of time, giving you the ability to edit or delete it without risking visitors.

If you want to disable a WordPress site for an indefinite amount of time, you will need to use the disable_functions() function. This function will stop all WordPress processes and will not allow anyone to access the site or its files.

You will need to know the exact name of the functions you want to disable in order to use this method.
