Full site maintenance

Send visitors to /maintenance. Signed-in site admins can still browse — preview in a private window.

Settingtoggle.sm3

Full site maintenance

When on, visitors are redirected to /maintenance. Configure headline, text, image, and timer in the fields below it.

Where to find it

Admin → Settings → Settings (first tab) → Maintenance → Full site (search catalog: Maintenance: full site)

Setting key: toggle.sm3

How it works

  • Public visitors see the maintenance page
  • Signed-in site admins bypass and can still use the site (unlike Disable uploads / Disable downloads)
  • Preview as the public: private window or log out

Common problems

Maintenance is on but I still see the site

You are logged in as admin. That is expected.

Locked into maintenance with no admin session

Flip toggle.sm3 off from the database / server. Prefer enabling full maintenance only while an admin session is already open.
