Description
SMNTCS Admin Maintenance puts the WordPress admin area into maintenance mode. While it is on, only the user you grant access can log in. Everyone else sees a message on the login screen that the admin area is in maintenance mode.
This is useful when you migrate a site, run large updates or change settings that other editors should not touch in the meantime. The front end of your site stays online the whole time.
Features
- Turn admin maintenance mode on and off in the Customizer
- Choose the one user who can still log in
- The public site stays available
