In October, we released the ability to put your sites into maintenance mode [through our API](https://my.pressable.com/documentation/api/v1). Last month, we made it as easy as clicking a button inside your MyPressable control panel to enable it — no plugins or third-party tools needed!

This feature is available on all Pressable hosting plans and can be used on both production and staging sites. [Click here to learn more](https://pressable.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-maintenance-mode/).
