I get error -1 when updating the plugin

It still appears as -1 and does not work. be in need of correction

Same here. The latest plugin update is broken and needs to be patched ASAP.

Solution:

The issue was being caused by a plugin bug 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:

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

Thank you! I was having this trouble. Four plugins were crashing the site into maintenance mode and not updating. I turned on debug, but nothing was getting logged.

I deactivated and updated Starter Templates as you suggested, and now everything works.

Phew! I was starting the process of deactivating things one-at-a-time, which has the problem of taking the site down for several minutes for each attempt.

Hi guys, sorry for the inconvenience.

By following the steps shared above should work and fix the issue. Thanks for sharing it.

Marking this thread as Resolved.
