Title: [Plugin: WP Maintenance Mode] Doesn't Work After Activating Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP Maintenance Mode] Doesn't Work After Activating * Resolved [Matt Digilio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xdotmedia/) * (@xdotmedia) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-maintenance-mode-doesnt-work-after-activating/) * After installing and activating plugin, nothing happens. I can’t find any way to change settings for the plugin. Even the Settings link on the plugin page doesn’t seem to do anything. Has anyone had a similar issue? I’d really like to use this plugin. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-maintenance-mode/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-maintenance-mode/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [Frank Bueltge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bueltge/) * (@bueltge) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-maintenance-mode-doesnt-work-after-activating/#post-2511882) * go on the plugin list in backend of wp; klick the settings – link on the this plugin; the settings is included the plugin page, not an extra page for less pages. * [MasterRoot24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterroot24/) * (@masterroot24) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-maintenance-mode-doesnt-work-after-activating/#post-2512259) * I too have just seen the behaviour that the OP reported. * What I was able to find was that the Settings link for WP Maintenance Mode did NOT function, if the [WP Live Activity Streaming](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/activity-life-stream/) plugin was activated at the same time. * If I disable WP Live Activity Streaming plugin, I am able to access the settings for WP Maintenance Mode. * Thanks for the plugin 🙂 * Joe * [mr.cacadu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrcacadu/) * (@mrcacadu) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-maintenance-mode-doesnt-work-after-activating/#post-2512310) * I am using this plugin for at least one and a half years. As you already know, I am activating it rarely, when I really have to take the site offline. Today I had to put site in maintenance and after enabling the plugin (as usual) I can’t access “Settings” for it. When I click, nothing happens [javascript:void(0)]. Is this a bug, but I have the same WordPress version and nothing changed since I last successfully used it. * [Frank Bueltge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bueltge/) * (@bueltge) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-maintenance-mode-doesnt-work-after-activating/#post-2512311) * `javascript:void(0)` is right; but maybe you have change the cache or a other plugin have a error for javascript. You can see this in the console, like in Webinspector of Chrome or Firebug; right bottom is a red error icon, if you have a js error and click on this icon and you cna read the error. * [mr.cacadu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrcacadu/) * (@mrcacadu) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-maintenance-mode-doesnt-work-after-activating/#post-2512313) * Thank you for the quick reply but it seems that I can’t find the problem here. I used Chrome to see if any error occurs but there is not a single one. I tried disabling all the installed plugins and letting just “Wp Maintenance”. No use. I tried to access the “Settings” on 3 different computers all with different operating systems and different java installed. Nothing helped. Any idea? * Note: This could be avoided if the plugin had a separate page for “Settings”. * [Frank Bueltge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bueltge/) * (@bueltge) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-maintenance-mode-doesnt-work-after-activating/#post-2512315) * The not is on my issues, but I dont find the time for this. * If you have deactivate all plugins and clear the cache, then please change the theme to a default theme, like TwentyEleven. Maybe you have a js error from theme. Important is, the plugin use jQuery as JS lib, but there is inside the core and the plugin include this js about the default ways. * [mr.cacadu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrcacadu/) * (@mrcacadu) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-maintenance-mode-doesnt-work-after-activating/#post-2512316) * Thank you for your reply, Frank. Nothing helped, so I just changed to another plugin. Problem solved. I liked your plugin but sometimes life is strange. * Thanks for your time.
