The “Maintenance Mode” state is not saved in the database.

It’s stored in the application/config/generated_overrides/concrete.php file (the full configuration key is concrete.maintenance_mode).

Ahh! Well, that certainly explains why I see nothing in the database. However, it still does nothing :confused: I turn it in, and I can still navigate to the home page no problem. I thought that this might be because I was logged in as admin, so I logged out, and when I go to the home page when maint is on, I get

Error
Call to undefined method Concrete\Core\View\View::isEditingDisabled()

Maybe someone has some ideas as to why this is happening or why I can see my page in ADMIN mode with maint on, but in the meantime, I just created an index.php that looks like this:

<?php
if (file_exists("maint.html")) {
    echo file_get_contents("maint.html");
} else {
    require 'concrete/dispatcher.php';
}

This is a known issue that has already been fixed by Fix #11283 · concretecms/concretecms@61e7795 · GitHub (it will be included in the next release candidate)

Yep, the superuser can always view the website even if it’s in maintenance mode.

All the users that have the view_in_maintenance_mode attribute key set can see the website too (by default, the members of the Administrators group have this attribute set).

PS: the “View Site in Maintenance Mode” key can be configured in the System & Settings > Permissions & Access > Task Permissions dashboard page.
