Maintenance Mode - how to get back in!

Posted by DallyBoy on May 3, 2006 at 11:53am

Sorry for the really dumb question, but I have been playing around with 4.7. I put the site into maintenance mode and can't figure out how to get back into it! I seem to be having a blonde moment :(

While I am at it, how do I or where do I look to, to customise the down for maintenance screen...

Thanks in advance....

Because it's a theme function, you can override it in your theme. Check Overriding other theme functions for a 'howto' do that using a phptemplate theme.
