...Keep in mind that if you are loggedin as admin in the same browser, Storefront maintenance mode might be ignored and you will see message at the top.
Thanks.
I mean Admin login. My test site is on maintenance mode, I logged in to change some settings, and edit some blocks, wanted to see the result, but I can not see storefront as normal, only see the maintenance page, I did open in the same browser.
'Storefront maintenance mode MIGHT be ignored', and it MIGHT NOT be ignored. This is the problem. It supposed to be always ignored if I login to control panel as Admin.
As stated in my post, the maintenance mode will be ignored only under the following condition:
log in as admin, and at least do one time 'Turn On' maintenance mode. If it was ON before login, I have to turn it off and turn on again.
I have tested several times, and just tried again to make sure before I post this message, and got the same result.
