You start an update and the update process fails at some point, leaving your WordPress website stuck in maintenance mode.
Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.
A blank page with some simple words that most of us don’t exactly appreciate when trying to access our wp-admin…
Fortunately, there is a simple solution for this…
Disable maintenance mode manually using FTP
- Log in to your webspace using SFTP.
- Open the folder of your WordPress website.
- Delete the file .maintenance.
That’s it – you have disabled maintenance mode for your website! You can now restart the failed update, if needed.

Thank you. Appreciate the tip.

Hi,
I just tried to update the WP to the latest one 4.9. It took a while and got stuck in the maintenance mode. So I deleted the .maintenance file in the htdocs directory and now I can only see the white screen, nothing else, cannot login to Dashboard,everything is blank.
Please let me know how to fix it.
Thanks!
