How to log in my forum when the forum is in read-only mode?

[ChanTallyagora]

My forum is in the read-only mode now, as an administrator, if I cannot log in then I cannot close the read-only mode. But when I log in it shows: the forum is in the read-only mode now, so I cannot log in.

I’m not sure, but can’t the /u/admin-login path bypass read-only?

Log back in as admin after locking yourself out with read-only mode or an invalid SSO configuration

If you’ve locked yourself out of your Discourse instance with an invalid SSO configuration, append /u/admin-login to the end of your forum’s root URL: https://forum.example.com/u/admin-login This will take you to an admin login page: [24] You’ll be sent an email with a log-in link that circumvents SSO and read-only mode. Do note however that if you have 2FA enabled you’ll still have to enter your auth code.

Alternative (requires console access)

Hi,

If you don’t have the browser window open where you enabled read-only mode, you’ll need to disable read-only mode via command line

Here is some help:

Cant disable read-only mode

It depends on how you trigger readonly mode. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/discourse.rb#L291-L295 There is a list of keys that you can pass to Postgres depending on how you trigger it https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/discourse.rb#L256-L259
