Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Axle Read-Only Mode

Maintenance mode shows visitors a placeholder page instead of the site. Axle Read-Only Mode keeps the site fully visible and only stops changes. Use it when the site has to stay online during the move.

It stops every form that posts to the site from the front end, every REST API write and every admin-ajax request that is not on the read-only list. A form that sends data straight to an outside service is not affected. A read-only screen of my plugin stopped working during the freeze. Admin-ajax requests are blocked unless they are known to be read-only. Add the action name with the axle_read_only_mode_allowed_ajax_actions filter.

Yes. Tick "Let me keep editing" when you freeze, or use the axle_read_only_mode_user_can_bypass filter.
