WordPress auto update could not be completed. Please try again.

  • I know that this topic has been published several times, but I consider opening a new topic considering that the Log does not indicate any problems. Everything was working fine.

    I’ve a WordPress installation on a managed Bitnami stack from an EC2 Instance on AWS and recently I have been unable to install and update plugins on my site because I’m getting the message “WordPress auto update could not be completed. Please try again. “

    When I try to update any of the plugins, I get the following message “The update process is starting. This process may take a while on some servers, so please be patient.”

    Activating maintenance mode…

    -1

    After a while the maintenance mode is deactivated but everything remains the same.

    As I mentioned before, the debug.log file does not show me anything even if it is activated.

  • Solution:

    This issue is being caused by a bug in the Starter Templates plugin that has now been fixed.

    If your site is stuck in maintenance mode, you can fix that by deleting the “.maintenance” file in your main WordPress directory (probably /public_html)

    To update to the fixed version of the plugin:

    1. Deactivate the Starter Templates plugin (since it’s breaking the updater)
    2. Update the Starter Templates plugin to 3.1.26 or higher
    3. Reactivate the Starter Templates plugin

    Thanks this worked for me!
    Luck
