It's important that you are able to access the site while it is closed for maintenance.
If you've found you aren't able to access it, you can do one of the following--once the site is back open--to ensure that when your site is closed, you can still work on it:
Edit your config file:
- Find the line that reads: 'isclosed' = '1',
- Change it to: 'isclosed' = '0',
OR
In the config.php file:
- Add your password to access site when closed...
'closed_pass' = 'yourpassword',
- Also, make sure you have permissions to access the closed by checking your permissions option: Can see the site when it is closed.
