PMC Lockdown

Description

Sometimes you don’t need (or want) to shut down the entire frontend of the site during maintenance. Unlike the default WordPress maintenance mode, this plugin allows your site to stay running.

  • Any non-Administrator will be logged out
  • Comments will be closed (disabled) on all posts

This plugin does not interact with, prevent, or override WordPress’s maintenance mode. It’s complementary.
