Turning off Wordpress website
One of the easiest ways I turn off my Wordpress site is to make the entire site HTTPS only. You can do this by
- Go To: Settings –> General
- Update WordPress Address (URL) such that
- http://www.example.com (becomes)
- https://www.example.com (note the change from http to https)
- Do the above for Site Address (URL) as well
- Importantly make sure your HTTPS site is configured to request password
