Help Tracking Down Maintenance Code

    Within the last couple version of WordPress, on all my WordPress installs ( more than 50 ) WordPress is leaving behind all the maintenance residuals:

    – wp-content/maintenance.php
    – wp-content/maintenance/template.phtml
    – wp-content/maintenance/assets/*

    And I receive the following error in my debug logs:

    PHP Notice: Undefined variable: timer in /wp-content/maintenance/template.phtml on line 22

    So now my question is: Where is template.phtml being created / used so I can trackdown where the $timer variable is being set and maybe what could be causing this issue. Any other suggestions on the best way to replicate the issue would be awesome too. Can someone explain which files to look at in how WordPress creates/removed these maintenance files please?

    Per our discussion on IRC, I suggest you try

    grep -r 'maintenance.php' *

    to see if anything (plugin,etc.) is looking for that file

    @sterndata Thanks! The only thing I have relating to maintenance in my MU plugin and my custom plugin is that in my MU Plugin, it drops out of a functions if .maintenance file exists in the root directory which as far as I can tell is fine:

    if( ! file_exists( ABSPATH . '.maintenance' ) )

    @clorith pointed out that template.phtml doesn’t exist in WP Core.

    I think we’ve narrowed it down the Plesk WordPress Toolkit which we have no control over. So… I guess that’s that then. Thanks everyone!
