WC Studio allows you to update your store’s basic information, enable maintenance mode, clone your site, or permanently delete it. All essential store-level controls are found here.

​
📍 Go to: WC Studio → Stores → Select a Store → Settings → General

​
✏️ Fields

​
🚧 Maintenance Mode

When enabled, your store will display a maintenance page to all visitors, while keeping admin access open.

​
🔧 Enable Maintenance Mode

  • Toggle the setting to ON
  • Your live site will show a temporary maintenance screen
  • Useful during development, migration, or downtime
💡 Pro Tip: Always enable Maintenance Mode before launching major design or plugin changes.

​
🧪 Clone Store

Create a full duplicate of your existing store for staging, testing, or server configuration experiments.

​
🔁 Clone Store

  • Click Clone Store
  • A new store instance will be created with the same:
    • Files
    • Database
    • Themes & Plugins
    • Settings
You can choose to assign a new subdomain or environment label (e.g. Staging or Dev).
🔐 Cloned stores do not affect your live store — perfect for safe experimentation.

​
🗑️ Delete Store

Deleting a store is permanent and cannot be undone.

​
❌ Delete Store

  • Click Delete Store
  • Confirm the deletion
  • All files, database content, and settings will be removed
⚠️ Warning: Use this only when you’re absolutely sure. Always take a Snapshot Backup before deleting a site.
