  Hello,

  I would like to keep the site under maintenance mode, I would like my client to preview it but with out logging in as admin, I have set up as an auth, but they can’t see the site just the maintence info.

  Please can you advise?

  Many thanks
  Jo

  Hi, I’m afraid only admins can reach through to the website when it’s in maintenance mode.

  Cheers!

  If you’d like your client to log in as another user role I recommend not using the theme’s native maintenance mode but rather a plugin that adds a maintenance mode; chances are you can modify the settings.
