    I tried upgrading wordpress from 4.1 to 4.1.1 this morning and it crapped out midstream.

    https://www.worldwideslave.com/

    Now I get this message, “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.” on every screen, admin or otherwise.

    I had 4.1.1 downloaded to my desktop and I have FTP access. What is the best course of action to fix this mess? Please help.

    it crapped out midstream.

    try MANUAL re-uploading. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old copies of files & folder on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
    – If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong.

    Seems to be working on my end.

    I would clear your browser cache and try re-loading the page.

    I’m not getting the “Scheduled maintenance” message you mentioned.

    Thanks! I’ll try the manual process next time.
