View site when locked? Is it possible for admin to view site when site is in maintenance/closed mode?
I guess this is another thing on the do list for the next update. Theoretically, the following small modification should do the trick. Open contentteller.php in an editor and replace: PHP: if( !$preferences[ 'website_active' ] ) with PHP: if( ( !$preferences[ 'website_active' ] ) and ( $user[ 'user_status' ] == 2 ) ) You need to be logged in on the front end before closing the site.
This will work: PHP: if( !$preferences[ 'website_active' ] and $user[ 'user_status' ] != 2 ) The code itself is now in index.php (2.1.x)
