Maintenance Mode won’t work! My theme is twenty twenty two. I pasted into the functions.php. My site is still visible, but now with this message at the top of the page. Any advice? I thought this would make it so the site won’t be visible at all. Trying to use code not a plug-in.

You have not added the code correctly. It’s also not very good code.

Try this. Create a page. Add a ‘back soon’ message (and any other info you want). Check the ID of the page (hover over the ‘edit page’ item and look at the message bottom of screen)

Add this code to your functions.php – change **both** 707 for your actual page ID

`add_action( ‘template_redirect’, function() {`
`if ( is_page( 707 ) ) {`
`return;`
`}`
`if (!current_user_can(‘edit_themes’) || !is_user_logged_in()) {`
`wp_redirect( esc_url_raw( home_url( ‘index.php?page_id=707’ ) ) );`
`exit;`
`}`
`} );`
