Put bbPress in Maintenance Mode

If you want to test a new plugin or theme in bbPress, you might want to disable the site for regular users. Add the following code to the end of bb-settings.php:

1
2
3

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

This modification will only show pages for users who have the “administrate” capability. Make sure that you log in before you upload the new bb-settings.php.
