How to Enable Maintenance Mode

Maintenance mode is a useful feature that allows you to build and configure your website without it being visible to regular visitors. Admins will still have access to the front end while the site is in maintenance mode.

Steps to Enable Maintenance Mode

1. Log in to the Admin Panel: Access the JScms administration panel using your admin credentials.
2. Navigate to Site Settings: Go to Settings and then click on Site Settings.
3. Activate Maintenance Mode: Locate the "Maintenance Mode" option and toggle it to enable.
4. Save Changes: Click the "Save" button to apply the new setting.

What Happens in Maintenance Mode?

• Restricted Access: Visitors will see a maintenance page (which you can design yourself) instead of your website content.
• Admin Access: Logged-in admins can still access and view the front end to make changes and test the site.
• Custom Maintenance Page: You can customize the maintenance message or design a custom maintenance page to display to visitors.

Disabling Maintenance Mode

When you're ready to go live, return to Settings > Site Settings and toggle the "Maintenance Mode" option off. Save the changes, and your website will be visible to everyone.

Additional Tips

• Plan Your Launch: Ensure all critical features are tested before disabling maintenance mode.
• SEO Considerations: Avoid keeping the site in maintenance mode for an extended period to prevent search engine penalties.

By using maintenance mode, you can build and perfect your website before it goes live to the public.
