WP 2.6 upgrade – site put to maintenence

There’s no maintenance mode in WP as far as I know, so my guess is you used the WP automatic upgrade plugin? What happens if you just disable or delete it?

Yes, I’ve used WordPress Automatic Upgrade for the process.
When the upgradation was done, I’ve deactivated the plug-in.
Even then the URL of the site shows the following message

” The Site is currently undergoing maintenance, Sorry for the inconvinience

WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin provided by Techie Buzz.”

I see that as a part of the Upgradation process, there was a message saying that the URL was put to maintenence. But its not reverted back even after the upgradation is done.
Or does it take some amount of the time for the site to go up and running after the upgradation?
Please adive.

I’ve used the plugin and my site has been in maintenance mode for only the time of that step (4) or something, so about 3 seconds and then plugins reactivated and everything worked again. Don’t know how to help. Perhaps it helps if you go through the process again. I don’t know what the plugin does when it puts the site in maintenance mode. I’ve used the plugin on six websites with no problems…

I’ve deleted and installed the plug-in ‘WordPress Automatic Upgrade’ again.
And I have gone through the whole update process again. But no luck:(
My URL says the site is still under maintenance.
I might have to clean the server and install WP again.
Thanks for your time ‘Gangleri’

Guys! If anyone has got a similar problem and got it fixed, please let know.

Wait wait, just to be sure. It can’t be a cache thing? Your browswer most likely, since a cache plugin should have been disabled by the upgrade plugin.

What’s the url, maybe being able to see it might give someone some idea.

I have cleared the cache and all the browser related stuff.

Also, I’ve found a related FAQ but performing the steps mentioned there didn’t help.

FAQ:
My site is in maintenance mode and the plugin did not complete. What do I do now?

Only under some rare condition will this happen. To get your site back online you need to do these things.

1. Login to your site using FTP.
2. Delete the index.php file.
3. Rename the index.php.wpau.bak file to index.php

Performing these steps should remove the maintenance mode message.

Please note that the problem is only with the frontpage URL.
I am able to login, view the dashboard, etc.

Seems like everything with the Automatic Upgrade Plugin is fine if you are an expert on WP and have everything ‘cleaned out’ properly before you use the Plug-in. But for those of us who just use Blogs and want minimum fuss upgrading to the next version – Auto-Up is a dog!

The alternative, manually uploading a thousand files to about fifty folders is a bugbear. So I am left with a message on my Dashboard asking me to please upgrade to 2.6 – and there are only 2 files in my installation that are still 2.5.1 (wp-login.php and wp-settings.php)

It’s assumed, when 2.7 comes along, that won’t work because 2.6 never got back from the bathroom.

I bet itsa guy thing! ggrrr
