    Just installed 3.01, no plugins and using default theme.

    When i go to settings and add “www” to the URL it goes into Maintenance mode permanently. There is to .maintenance file in my root dir, even when I view hidden files.

    Thank god I didn’t update a real site, horrible feature.

    any help?

    There is probably an index.html or home.html file in the same directory as the WordPress index.php file. Remove the index.html or home.html file, either via FTP or your hosting provider’s file manager, and all should be fine.

    thanks, not sure what other file could have been there, but overwriting all the root files seems to have solved it.
