Plugin upgrade issue

7 Views

I’m updating plugins installed on my wordpress site. However, for almost an hour, it’s still doing maintenance mode. When I accidentally hit reload, I got BIG white screen of death saying: “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.”

Is there anything I can do to fix this mess?

  1. How to clear the “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance” message after doing automatic upgrade?

    As part of the automatic upgrade
    WordPress places a file named
    .maintenance in the blog base
    folder (folder that contains the
    wp-admin folder). If that file exists,
    then vistors will see the message
    Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.

    To stop that message from being
    displayed to vistors, just delete the
    .maintenance file. The automatic
    upgrade should be executed again, just
    in case it failed.
