Hi AITpro,
I am having an issue with the Maintenance Mode wherein everything looks fine setup-wise, but upon activation of frontend MM the sites break and display an error message publicly that shows my server file path. Further, when I turn MM off, the frontend continues to be broken.
I first tried to use MM on one of my subsites. I read the instruction carefully. I whitelisted my IP just in case. I did NOT check backend MM. (The backend continues to be accessible.)
I was unable to fix this subsite after the failed MM condition was not affected by turning MM off via the BPS UI panel, and so went on to test on the primary site in case there was some setting that needed to be established there prior to using MM on subsites, and also just to test again.
I read the instructions again, double checked my settings. I set for all subsites and primary. The preview looked fine. Upon activating frontend MM I observed the same behavior as my prior test. I was again unable to remedy the behavior by turning MM off.
Perhaps it is also worth noting that I am using WPMUDev’s Domain Mapping plugin and that the error message appears the same on my primary and subdomains/mapped domains. Below is an example of the error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/xxx/public_html/index.php on line 37
Since the error message is currently displaying sensitive info openly, I plan to scrub this WP and install fresh to retest. I will of course update if I can reproduce on my fresh install.
Kind Regards,
Max
ps. I had earlier put my present install through the ringer so to speak in testing… I could easily see having left some code messes around
