    Why Maintenance Mode Stays Stuck

    Interrupted Update

    A WordPress, theme, or plugin update was interrupted before completing.

    .maintenance File

    The .maintenance file was not automatically deleted after the update.

    Maintenance Plugin

    A maintenance plugin is enabled and you forgot to disable it.

    Server Timeout

    The update took too long and the server interrupted the process.

    How to Prevent This Problem

    Never close the browser during an update
    Back up before every major update
    Update regularly to avoid large updates
    Use a staging plugin to test updates
