# Why maintenance mode?

 * Websites like this [http://www.cabdrome.com](http://www.cabdrome.com) that has
   only one admin suer and no other users, for security reasons is normal to permit
   the login only to admin suer, and this is not a maintenance mod, just a normal
   mode.
    Please disable this dashboard notice:
 * > NOTICE: you turned on Maintenance Mode at some point. It disables new comments
   > and keeps non-administrators from logging in.
   > To turn this off, go to Settings | Login Security Solution | Maintenance Mode.
 * When people enable the option to let administrators to log in.
    For example wordfence
   permit to kick out automatically all users that has a user different from the
   admin user, without a nag screen of maintenance mode.

 * You (inadvertently?) turned it on at some point. If you want the message to go
   away, go into Settings | Login Security Solution and turn it off.

 * I just want to explain that I think that to keep all non-administrator users 
   out from the login area, there is no need to put the website in maintenance mode,
   because this is just a login security option not obligatory connected to the “
   maintenance mode”. If I turn off the maintenance mode, then I set also the login
   security less safe of the possible if my website is managing only one user: the
   administrator. And today many wordpress websites are managing only one user.
