I want to lock our entire discourse instance during the process of migrating the site to a new host. That means no edits by registered users although retaining public viability. Is there a site configuration for this? The site in question is located here . My investigations and web searches so far…

[image] Is there an easy way to set a discouse instance temporarly in read-only mode? Sure, you can enable/disable read-only mode from discourse.example.com/admin/backups . and then use a backup on the new host

Lock entire site
