activate maintenance mode programatically

Hello @ricard76rr,

You can update wpmm_settings option and set status to 1. But you also have to clear the cache (programmatically) if you have a cache plugin installed and activated (example for W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache).

Here you can see the default content of wpmm_settings option: github repo

So you need something like this:

function wpmm_custom_trigger($status) {
	if (!in_array($status, array(0, 1))) {
		return;
	}

	if (!class_exists('WP_Maintenance_Mode')) {
		return;
	}

	// get settings
	$settings = WP_Maintenance_Mode::get_instance()->get_plugin_settings();
	
	// set status
	$settings['general']['status'] = $status;
	$settings['general']['status_date'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
	
	// save settings
	update_option('wpmm_settings', $settings);
	
	// here must be a clear cache mechanism if you have a cache plugin installed and activated...
}

wpmm_custom_trigger(1); // to enable
wpmm_custom_trigger(0); // to disable

Thanks.
