In the operation practice of the AnQi CMS website, there are times when it is necessary to temporarily stop the website service, such as system maintenance, content updates, or emergency repairs.The Anqi CMS provides the 'website status' setting, allowing operators to set the website to 'shutdown' mode to manage user access in such cases.

When the website status of AnQi CMS is configured to 'Offline', ordinary users will no longer be able to browse the regular content of the website.This means that all articles, products, category pages, and other dynamic content will be temporarily hidden.The website system will no longer provide normal page services but will display a specific 'shutdown notice' to all users who try to access the website.This mechanism is designed to ensure that users receive clear notifications during abnormal operation of the website, avoiding access to incomplete or erroneous information, and also provides operators with a smooth time to carry out various operations.

The "shutdown" status of the website can be configured in the "Global Function Settings" of the Anqi CMS backend.Under this setting item, the operator can find the option named "Website Status".When you choose to change the website status to 'closed', a text box named 'closed notice' will appear immediately.This 'site closure prompt' field is specifically used to input the specific information that needs to be displayed to users when the website is in a closed state.Operators can write clear and friendly prompts according to their actual needs, such as informing users that the website is under maintenance, the expected time of recovery, or providing other contact methods, etc., to ensure that users understand the current status and subsequent arrangements of the website.

Moreover, AnQi CMS also provides special template files for closed station pages, located in the template directory.errors/close.htmlThis means that the operator can not only enter plain text information through the "shutdown prompt" field in the background, but also modifyerrors/close.htmlTemplate file, for in-depth and personalized customization of the layout, style, and content of the closed station page.This allows for consistency in brand and the continuity of user experience even during website shutdowns, providing users with a beautifully designed and informative waiting page.This flexible configuration method allows Anqi CMS to better balance operational needs and user experience during website maintenance and content updates.
