How Do I Put My WordPress Site in Maintenance Mode?

When you want to put your WordPress site in maintenance mode, you’ll first need to disable automatic updates. To do that, go to Settings » Updates and disable the checkbox next to “Automatically install updates.”

Once you’ve disabled automatic updates, you’ll need to go to your WordPress site’s admin area, click on Appearance » Themes, and select the theme you want to put in maintenance mode. To do this, find the theme you want to use in the Themes area, and then click on it.

On the General tab, look for the ” Maintenance mode ” option and check the box next to it.

Now, you’ll need to go to your WordPress site’s settings and update the site. To do this, go to Settings » General and update the site.

Make sure you enter the site’s admin area and click on the Update Now button.

Once you’ve updated the site, you’ll need to go to your WordPress site’s admin area and activate the Maintenance mode theme. To do this, go to Themes » Activate Theme and select the Maintenance mode theme from the list.

Finally, you’ll need to go to your WordPress site’s admin area and disable the Maintenance mode theme. To do this, go to Themes » Disable Theme and select the Maintenance mode theme from the list.

Now, your WordPress site is in maintenance mode and will be unavailable to visitors. If you need to take the site offline for any reason, you’ll first need to disable the maintenance mode theme, and then disable the site altogether.
