I noticed that also wp-admin area is not accessible. So I cannot desactivate pluggins, for instance. Any idea to get access as an administrator?

Also, in case anyone is getting “you must type a file name.” error when trying to create the file-

Create a txt file and open it in Notepad.exe. Then do a file | Save as.. select ‘all files’ and then name it (.maintenance)

I literally just discovered this while working my way line by line through the Wordpress initialization process (from wp-load to wp-config to wp-settings) trying to debug and fix another problem I was having. That’s what I like to call snazzy!

Your link to customizing the page is missing, but it would seem that all you have to do from looking at the code is create a maintenance.php file in your wp-content/ directory.

Snazzy.
