Re: How to deactivate a multistore ? SOLVED

Thanks very much for the suggestions. I found an extension that lets you put individual multistores into maintenance mode. It's called Multistore Maintenance Switch and was easy to install and is working well: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=marketplace/extension/info&extension_id=39170...
