Let’s see how to fix it:

1. Open the file catalog/controller/common/header_center.php.

4. Locate the following lines:

   if (isset($part[1])) {
   			$setting_info = $this->model_extension_module->getModule($part[1]);
   			
   			if ($setting_info && $setting_info['status']) {
   			$data['modules'][] = $this->load->controller('module/' . $part[0], $setting_info);
   			}
   			}
   		

5. Replace them with:

   			if ($data['maintenance'] == 0){
   			if (isset($part[1])) {
   			$setting_info = $this->model_extension_module->getModule($part[1]);
   			
   			if ($setting_info && $setting_info['status']) {
   			$data['modules'][] = $this->load->controller('module/' . $part[0], $setting_info);
