Lindsayanng Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 So i had to propagate the live domain name to my shop but it will not be live for at least another week. This is an issue simply because I would like to stil have access to the front end of the site while I make little tweaks but it seems maintenance mode puts up a forwarder that occurs for everyone, including site admins. It seems that there should be a way to bypass the maintenance mode if logged in as an admin, or even via IP address. Any thoughts or suggestions on this?

shokinro Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I am not quite sure what is your question is. The maintenance mode only means for front office, it does not change anything for BO access. You can limitthe front store access IP address. Just input you ip address at the ip address input box at BO setting screen. You can input multiple ip address separated by comma. (accurately, you can allow only access from specific IP address) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsayanng Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 shokinro - I want to edit the store's features and functions and therefor I need to be able to see the front end of the cart for testing but I need the maintenance page to appear for everyone else except me. So are you saying that somewhere in the admin screen there is a way to enable maintenance mode but allow myself via IP address access?? Where is this field? I did not see it.

tomerg3 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 It's right under the place where you set it to maintenance mode... Preferences->Maintenance IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
