Enabling Maintenance Mode–for updating plugins–not working?

  • I have been trying fora fwe days to update several plugins and it just goes nowhere. Yes, the message says it may take awhile on some hosts, but it’s taken a longer than awhile now!
    I updated my themes and to the latest WO version without a problem. Initially I had several plugins and tried to update all at once. When that timed out I tried one-at-a-time and the first one worked…none of the rest worked. I get no message saying the system has timed out, it just appears to be doing nothing. I am wondering if the system is not making it into maintenance mode–though why did the themes and WP update go perfectly?
    Initially I had 12 plugins, then 11 and since then I deleted 2 so I still have 9 needing updates.

    I also have had no problem adding new themes and plugins. Everything goes through my ftp and the only part not working is the plugin updates.

    And yes, I backed up first.

  • I have the same problem. In WP Version 4.2 plugin update broke. Plugin updates still is broken in WP version 4.2.1. Thanks goodness for BackupBuddy!

    I really like the way the plugin updates worked before with the text list of what stage the update was in. The little spinning arrows – no info during update, not a good UI.

    If it is not broke, please don’t fix it! I think putting the old plugin update code and the old “list of the stage of the update” UI back in would be a good idea.

    I am mistaken…I had just updated my wordpress version and so though I had 4.2.1, but that must have come out just after I updated. I tried to update to it last night and got no results.
