Could not exit maintenence mode

    Using Firefox as admin browser and Explorer and Safari as user browsers. Put it in maintenance mode and Explorer and Safari indicated such. Deactivated maintenance mode and Explorer and Safari still showed maintenance mode. Cleared history and cache on both. Had to deactivate the plugin to get user browsers to see website. Then reactivated plugin and tried it again and it then would not go into maintenance mode!
    It has good features but problems that need to be resolved. Cannot trust it at this point but would like to. I’m concerned I may not get my site back if I pursue the plugin.

    Hi based on your description this sounds like something is caching at the WordPress level, most likely a caching plugin (note this is different from the browser caches which you had mentioned).

    IF you are willing to give the plugin a second change please first go look for any caching plugins you may be running and hit ‘clear or delete cache’ every time you change in or out of maintenance mode. That should do the trick.

    Hi Bob,
    You are correct. I did not fully understand the interface to W3 Cache. On your advice I revisited W3 and learned how to clear the cache. Once I did that your plugin worked fine. So my complaint was do to my inexperienced user troubles. I experimented with Safari with the plugin on and off and had no issues at all. Nice job. It is the easiest to setup and provides all one should need to enter maintenance mode. This should work for anyone needing a plugin of this type and I recommend it especially for inexperienced users! Many thanks for your efforts.
