Hi, Working on my 2.5 test site. I thought that a registered user could log into website even when I have it set to offline right? I just put site to offline and when I try to log onto site as a registered user to see settings [as non super user] I am blocked from entering site.


I am almost certain that I was able to access site like this in past. What have I changed to cause this. I can still access site as my super-user... and can access site as non-registered user by putting site online.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

When your site is offline, only super users can access the site. :-)

I could have sworn that registered users could login!! Thanks for setting me strait on that Tessa

Hi Scott,

There are some plugins for that.

In 1.5 you could do a minor hack and make it work. I don't know if you can hack it for 2.5. I haven't found any reference to it. Maybe the plugins will help.

Cheers,
Ed

Thanks Ed, I downloaded one and will give it a try

Hi Scott, let me know how that plugin works out for you.

Thanks Ed for providing Scott with that extension. ...You learn something new everyday! :-)
