Getting Stuck In Maintenance Mode whenever there is a new version of Wordfence R

Hello @mikewashington and thanks for reaching out to us!

Are you getting any errors or anything that you can provide to me?

Can you send a diagnostic report to wftest @ wordfence . com? You can find the link to do so at the top of the Wordfence Tools > Diagnostics page. Then click on “Send Report by Email”. Please add your forum username where indicated and respond here after you have sent it.

Thanks!

It is create “.maintenance” in the root folder of my WordPress site whenever there is Wordfence new plugins version update released. And the site down and stuck on “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.”

What Causes WordPress to Get Stuck in Maintenance Mode?

I wouldn’t think it would be anything that Wordfence was doing to cause the switch over.

Did you send the Diagnostic or are you not able to get to the tools page?

You might want to reach out to your host to figure out why its automatically switching over like that.

Let me know what you find!

Thanks!

I could not able to find.

If you click on Wordfence within your WordPress dashboard, then Tools, you will see a Diagnostic tab at the top. That should bring you to the diagnostic page and then you can send me it.

Thanks!

Could u please screen shoot the steps and forward to me? I couldn’t able to find the steps

@wfadam the same thing happens today as well. After the new Wordfence version released our site stuck on mantenace mood. I have sent the email from diagnostic tool username D***
