    Hi there,

    What is the best way to make changes to my blog/website, and still allow visitors to access the site?

    I have installed the WP maintenance plugin which works just fine; but do I really need it if I wish to tweak my site, or is it used for major work over days?

    Thanks,

    Dan

  • Hi Dan

    There isn’t really a low level/easy way of doing this that comes to mind. There might be one but not one I can think of at the moment. More advanced setups might have a staging site where they’d do work and then push changes from staging to live.

    Thanks, Andrew, so I understand that the maintenance mode is probably the best way to go about this then?

    If the changes are major, yes. Perhaps coupled with a time of the day you’ve seen in Analytics is a low traffic period. If the changes are minor then I’d leave the site up and try make it happen with the site public.

    Excellent, thanks.

    For sure ?? All the best.
