 * Hi,
    Not sure if you want to enable or disable the maintenance mode but either
   way your site is cached by WP-Optimize so make sure you empty the cache in that
   plugin.

 * Dude, you have a plugin that lock’s people out of your their websites. There 
   are a lot of people with this error and you DID NOT GAVE A FIX months LATER.
 * it’s super easy to blame it on someone else ..but you never really looked to 
   see if it’s your plugin doing the problems.
 * Julie, The way I fixed it is going on FTP and renaming the WP_Content file and
   then changing it back.
