  • Delete the .maintenance file found in the WordPress root/base folder, then do the Upgrade again.

    I do have WP installed in a subdirectory and it is not in the root or in the subdirectory.

    – .maintenance file is invoked on the fly doing an auto upgrade. It is a hidden file like .htaccess files.
    – Located in the root of your WP install, you can delete it using FTP program or loging in server and select to view hidden files.
    – Please review this codex for more info: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Common_WordPress_Errors#Maintenance_Mode_Following_Upgrade

    Thanks @t-p but the .maintenance is not there. The site does load fine too.

    Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme for your version of WordPress to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Sounds like you got the below plugin enabled, simply disable it and it should fix your issue

    cPanel & WHM? Site Software

    Same issue here as well. I disabled all plugins and also turned off cloudflare. I hat the immutable bit set on all php files (home brew malware infection protection I do for all sites I run) and that I removed before attempting the upgrade. In fct everything else is fine it actually even shows update completed shows upload completed however then it takes me to a page which still shows 4.7.1page till shows 4.7.1

    The .maintenance file is not relevant here as it is created during the update process and removed once update completes. Cloudflare was my prime suspect but this is happening even with cloudflare removed. I am able to update plugins fine which makes me think that permissions are fine as well.

    Would appreciate if someone who is having a similar issue would advise what else I could try looking at.
