Time for action—Modifying the maintenance mode

Imagine that you want to change the maintenance mode screen to something else, you will need to do a few things:

1. You can change the image that is used as the logo through the back office, as we have seen in Chapter 2, Customizing PrestaShop Theme Part I. The same logo that you uploaded earlier will be used throughout in your e-mail and maintenance mode.

   Alternatively, we can do it by editing the code and uploading the new image to the right folder; the steps will be covered later in this chapter.

2. We have to change the following lines in your maintenance.tpl file and edit them according to your requirements.

   Look it up in your theme folder: /public_html/prestashop/themes/theme1.
