Maintenance Mode

[DCS55]

When I switch Abantecart 1.3.3 to maintnenace mode I can see it when logged into admin when I'm supposed to be able to view the site to check on progress of changes. Any comments welcome on a fix for this. Thanks.

Hello.
Try to clear browser cache

Website maintenance is the process of keeping a website up-to-date and running smoothly as well as performing optimally. Website maintenance includes tasks like ensuring all the links on your site are working, regularly updating content, and fixing any broken links.

Hi DCS55,

It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where maintenance mode prevents you from viewing your site even when logged into the admin panel. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

• Clear Cache: Sometimes, the browser cache can cause issues. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try accessing the site again.


• Check Maintenance Mode Settings: Ensure that the maintenance mode settings in AbanteCart are configured correctly. Double-check that the setting allows the admin to bypass the maintenance mode.


• Use a Different Browser or Incognito Mode: Try accessing the site in a different browser or in incognito/private mode to rule out any browser-specific issues.


• Review User Permissions: Ensure that your admin user has the correct permissions to bypass the maintenance mode. Sometimes user roles and permissions might affect this functionality.


• Check for Updates: Make sure that your AbanteCart installation is up-to-date. There might be a bug in the version you are using that has been fixed in a newer release.


• Examine .htaccess File: If you've made changes to your .htaccess file, there might be a rule that's affecting your ability to bypass maintenance mode. Check for any custom rules that could be causing this.


• Consult Documentation or Support: Refer to the AbanteCart documentation or forums for any known issues related to maintenance mode. You might find specific instructions or patches.

If none of these steps work, you might consider reaching out to the AbanteCart support team for more detailed assistance.
