 * Hello guys,
 * I’ve enabled the Multisite Network for creating subdomains. In that case, if 
   I need to update the Theme, for example, it is updated by Superadmin, so in that
   case I would need to go to each of the sites (subdomains) that are enabled in
   this theme, in order to activate the maintenance plugin for you?
 * Can you do this one-time activation for all sites that are using the particular
   theme?
 * For example, if I have the sites:
 * Mysite.com
    Sub1.mysite.com Sub2.mysite.com Sub3.mysite.com Sub4.mysite.com Sub5.
   mysite.com
 * And let’s say the 3 sites (mysite.com, sub2.mysite.com and sub3.mysite.com) all
   use the same theme. And I decide to update this theme for a new version. So, 
   how would Superadmin activate the one-time maintenance plug-in for all three 
   of you? That is, Superadmin chooses the sites that want to activate the plugin
   of yours, and does it in a single time, is it possible?
 * I thank you.
    Rodrigo

 * Hi,
 * This plugin is for maintenance mode when you are making updating to your site
   and it works on a per site basis. See this article on create a custom maintenance
   page when WordPress uses it built in Maintenance Mode for updating themes, plugins
   and it’s core files. [https://www.seedprod.com/how-to-create-custom-maintenance-mode-page-wordpress/](https://www.seedprod.com/how-to-create-custom-maintenance-mode-page-wordpress/)
 * Here’s the difference between the built in maintenance mode and what a plugin
   does: [https://www.seedprod.com/wordpress-maintenance-mode/](https://www.seedprod.com/wordpress-maintenance-mode/)

 * Hello,
 * I needed to know the following … when I need to update some theme, plugin, … 
   will the maintenance page be activated for all my sites in the Multisite network?
 * In the case of the maintenance.php file, I believe that all the sites of a multisite
   network enter into a maintenance state, since the file goes to the root of the
   wp-content of the main domain. But is the plugin also like this, when activating
   the maintenance state, all the sites in my network are hidden?
 * I thank you.

 * Like I said when theme and plugin files are update wordpress uses its’ built 
   in maintenance mode, this usually only last for a few seconds and no one usually
   even sees it, yes it’s network wide. If you just need to make some content updates
   to a site use a plugin.
