WordPress: Enable Maintenance Mode Without Plugins Using One Line of Code

- 13.02.26 - ErcanOPAK

Updating your site and want to show “Coming Soon” page? No plugin needed.

Add to wp-config.php:

define('WP_MAINTENANCE_MODE', true);

Visitors see default maintenance page. You (logged in as admin) see site normally.

Custom Message: Create .maintenance file in WordPress root:

<?php
$upgrading = time();
?>
<h1>Site Under Maintenance</h1>
<p>We'll be back soon!</p>

Remove: Delete the define line or .maintenance file when done.
