Show a temporary "under maintenance" message while you make changes.
- Plugin method (easiest): install a maintenance plugin (for example, WP Maintenance Mode), activate it, and switch maintenance mode on.
- Theme method: some themes include a built-in maintenance/coming-soon toggle in their settings.
- Turn it off again when you're done so visitors see the live site.
Tip: Maintenance mode lets you work on the site safely without visitors seeing half-finished changes or errors.
