After WordPress updates the ontology software or plug-ins, it can generally continue to be used smoothly. In rare cases an error will be reported:
Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.
reason
The literal translation of this error text into Chinese is:
“Maintenance, this site is unavailable. Please wait a moment.”
If the website uses the Hong Kong Chinese version, it will be displayed as: “The website is temporarily unavailable due to routine maintenance, please check back later.”
The reason for this is that WordPress briefly puts the site into maintenance mode when updating the ontology software or plugins.
Generally speaking, after the update is over, WordPress will automatically end maintenance mode for users to use normally. But in rare cases, WordPress cannot automatically end this mode.
In fact, when WordPress is updated, there will be a text prompting users to stay on this page before the update ends, and do not click out without authorization. Even so, it is still possible for users to click away accidentally. This may also leave WordPress stuck in maintenance mode and cannot automatically return to normal.
At this point, we can manually resolve this issue.
Solution steps
- Access the root directory of the WordPress site through FTP, etc. (that is, where there are subdirectories such as
wp-admin,wp-content, etc.); - Delete
.maintenance(this file is the page displayed when forced to stay in maintenance mode).
If you use the panel software to manage the server, you can directly access the panel’s file manager to complete the above operations
Congratulations, the site is now ready to use.
