Have I missed something, or is there no Maintenance Mode for bbPress?

I don’t think you’ve missed anything.

No Maintenance Mode for bbPress. Could be a pretty simple plugin to write though. Any takers?

I couldn’t make a plugin for it, but you can restrict users without the “administrate” capability from accessing the site by appending this line to bb-settings.php:

if ( ! bb_current_user_can( 'administrate' ) ) { die('<p>The site is down for maintenance.</p>'); }

FYI…

If you are integrated with WordPress, you can use the Maintenance Mode plugin for WP and it will work with bbPress.

I tried the code, it’s not working.

Anyone?

The code is also 1 year old mate, and for a version of BBpress long since given up on since the RC1 was rushed out with no beta testing and very little alpha testing.

Hi

I am about to do some maintenance on my forum and want to leave a message to the members.

I have searhed the forums and the web without result.

How can this be done in a easy way. Something like below but for bbpress or a plugin maybe?

function wpr_maintenance_mode() {

if ( !current_user_can( ‘edit_themes’ ) || !is_user_logged_in() ) {

wp_die(‘Maintenance, please come back soon.’);

}

}

add_action(‘get_header’, ‘wpr_maintenance_mode’);

I agree with FEL64

@bryan_w OK… i know there is no built in maint-mode function, but is there a solution? How do you handle this scenario?
