tdr170 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 No need to add any additional html files as Prestashop has one built in, go to preferences and set Enable shop to No click on add my IP address in the box below then scroll to bottom and save, you will still be able to access the shop while building. If someone else tries to access the site they will recieve a page stating that the shop is in maintnence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelbenperez Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Nice thank you! Can i modify the "maintenance" page to have it say what I want? Will having the index.html file "under construction" give me problems while i set the preferences of Enable Shop to no? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdr170 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yes you can edit the maintenance.tpl files located in the themes/yourtheme folder. Just remove the index.html file as yes this will cause issues with or without the shop enabled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franco Schettino Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I found it! It is hidden in (in italian): Statistiche/Visitatori online/Aggiungi o rimuovi un indirizzo IP I don't understand why it is there...

bLuNt_wAcO ن Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 This will take the store offline even for me. Is there anyway where I can still preview my store changes while the website is offline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLuNt_wAcO ن Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Got it. In the Maintenance IP field, type your IP address 🙂 See attached photo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
