not working

Some host return a blank page when you set a 503 header, more than likely the case.

its set right now at https://www.youandmephotography.net. just shows the site like normal. whats it show for you?

oh, you are running a caching plugin, a cached page is being served and the plugin never runs. Clear your cache or disable while in maintenance mode.

Also if you view source you can tell if a cached page is being served. Your using Hyper Cache

Gol. Im an idiot. You’re spot on. Thanks for doing the thinking for me. Can I remove this entire post? Id hate to say it doesnt work when it does.

ha, I’m not sure how to do, this will help other if they run across this issue.
