Maintenance Mode – Woodojo

I had a little problem where I put my site in “maintenance mode”, using the Woodojo plug-in and then closed all my browsers, before turning it back on. So, I could NOT login to change it back. However, with a little trial and error, I found a pretty quick way to fix the issue and get my site back online.

• With either an SSH or FTP tool (I used the ForkLift App), navigate to your site and plugins folder. Mine was /public_html/wp_content/plugins.
• rename the folder, woodojo to _woodojo
• Reload your site in a browser. Voila! you are in.
• Now, login to your WP site with admin user
• Now, go back to your SSH/FTP tool and name that folder _woodojo back to woodojo
• Reload the site in your browser
• Go to dashboard and click “Maintenance Mode” (upper right)
  • Uncheck “Turn on Maintenance Mode” and click “Save changes” (at bottom of page)
• You should be back to normal now 🙂
