For standard websites, use the <strong>Website Maintenance Mode<\/strong> option when available. For WordPress websites managed through WP Toolkit, use the dedicated <strong>Maintenance mode<\/strong> control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing the required work, disable maintenance mode and verify that the website is accessible again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Will enabling maintenance mode delete my website files?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Enabling maintenance mode does not normally delete or modify your website files. It changes what visitors see while maintenance mode is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Can I enable maintenance mode for only one domain?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. You can enable maintenance mode for a specific domain when the corresponding feature is available and you have the required permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. How do I enable maintenance mode for a WordPress website in Plesk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Open <strong>WordPress<\/strong> in Plesk, locate the relevant installation, and switch on <strong>Maintenance mode<\/strong> in WP Toolkit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. How do I disable maintenance mode?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the same maintenance settings used to enable it and switch the setting off. For standard websites, clear the maintenance mode checkbox and save the changes. For WordPress, turn off the Maintenance mode control in WP Toolkit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Why is my website still showing the maintenance page after I disabled maintenance mode?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The page may be cached, or another maintenance setting may still be active. Clear the relevant application or proxy cache, check WordPress plugins if applicable, and verify the website in a private browser window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Can I customize the maintenance page in Plesk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For WordPress websites managed through WP Toolkit, supported customization options include changing the message and other display settings. For standard websites, customization depends on the available error-document and hosting configuration options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/knowledge-base\/2026\/10\/27\/how-to-check-wordpress-core-file-integrity-in-plesk\/\">How to Check WordPress Core File Integrity in Plesk<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/knowledge-base\/2026\/10\/21\/how-to-check-and-update-wordpress-plugins-and-themes-in-plesk-panel\/\">How to Check and Update WordPress Plugins and Themes in Plesk Panel<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need Assistance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help managing your website or configuring maintenance settings in Plesk?
