Hi again
Just a quick followup. Once again you were right. I was in fact using a plugin, just didn’t know it. The ‘Maintenance Mode’ plugin comes with the Plesk WordPress package.
Talked to my hosting service and we agreed that the best move was to start fresh. I still don’t know exactly what I did wrong, however I learned a lot from the experience.
Thanks again
Chuck
Hi George;
Thanks for your reply. I have sent a message to my hosting service requesting assistance regarding the ‘Apache’ issue. Yes you are quite correct ‘hyypd’ should be httpd’. Please forgive my fat fingers.
As for how I invoke Maintenance Mode; I do so by Signing into my Plesk dashboard, selecting WordPress and then selecting ON with the slider on the bottom right hand corner of the WordPress Toolkit page. I do not use a separate Maintenance Mode plugin and had assumed this was part of the basic WordPress package.
Thanks again for your help
Chuck
