Help: WordPress is stuck in Maintenance Mode and is unavailable

Friday, July 30th, 2010 | Business | by

If you see the following:

Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.

and you can’t log get back into your WordPress install to fix anything…

I have a solution!

You just need to rename the “.maintenance” file to something else, I used “old.maintenance”

Once that file is renamed (or deleted, but I recommend renamed), your WordPress installation should work again.

Worked for me

Renaming will work, but there is no need to keep the file. You can safely remove the file (I’ve done it before). > http://www.ramonfincken.com/permalink/topic223.html
