\"Briefly<\/p>\n

Stop… Do not Panic..!<\/h2>\n

Most probably you were just upgrading a plugin and …bang..! All in one sudden your website went offline.<\/p>\n

Remain calm as this is a common issue and thankfully there is a quick remedy.<\/p>\n

This tutorial will require you to have FTP login and password at your hosting account.<\/p>\n

DISCLAIMER:<\/strong>
\nThis tweak are intended for people that is accustomed on dealing with FTP software, deleting, editing\u00a0files<\/a> and have an understanding of how important it is to always BACKUP<\/a> data prior to alter or delete it.<\/p>\n

Having said that, let’s go to the meat and potatoes of today WordPress<\/a> good hacking.<\/p>\n

Hack #1 – remove .maintenance file from your root directory<\/h3>\n

-Editing required on main root directory:<\/strong>\u00a0 .maintenance
\n<\/code>-Time required:<\/strong>\u00a0(between 1 and 5 minutes)<\/p>\n

Fire your Filezilla or any other FTP program of your choice and login with your credentials. Once logged in and pointed into your Public HTML<\/a> or WWW or whatever your hosting calls your main root directory look for a file called .maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you, like me, are super careful, skeptical, paranoid, obsessive compulsive disordered and so on, make a backup of the file .maintenance <\/strong>before deleting. If you are not as described….just delete the file..!<\/p>\n

Bingo…<\/p>\n

Now refresh your browser on your backend and \/ or on your frontend and it should be live again. Your Plugin should now update just fine.<\/p>\n

That’s it for today, until next time, keep cool and do some good positive hacking on WordPress.<\/p>\n
