How to Enable Maintenance Mode in Moodle?

Moodle websites have a feature which allows the site to be set to Maintenance mode. We can make the site inaccessible to the public by enabling the Maintenance mode.  This feature is very helpful while developing the site. Maintenance mode can also be used when detecting issues with the Moodle site. It will prevent the users from accessing as a guest or logging in during the site construction.

1) Log into the Moodle Dashboard.

2) Go to the option “Site Administration”.

 

 

3) Select the “Server” option.

 

4) Select the option “Maintenance mode”.

 

 

5) In this page, you can write your own maintenance message for users in the text box “Optional maintenance message”.

 

6) Select the option “Enable” for enable the maintenance mode.

 

7) Click on “Save Changes” button.

After enabling maintenance mode, when we visit the site, it will display the message which was inserted into the “Optional maintenance message”.
