WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin – Didn't Finish

  • I’ve tried upgrading my WordPress to the latest version using the WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin. While in the process of upgrading, it stopped. I tried accessing my site https://www.magnustoday.net and I can’t. It seems to be in the maintenance mode still. I looked for FAQ for this and tried deleting the index.php and renaming the index.php.wpau.bak to index php but i still can’t access my site.

    What should I do?

    The Automatic Upgrade Plugin has been discontinued ever since its functionality was added to WordPress with version 2.7.

    You’ll need to access your server via FTP or SFTP, make sure your FTP or SFTP client is set to view hidden files, and delete the .maintenance file that is in the same directory as the wp-load.php file.

    Once you’ve regained access, I recommend deleted the Automatic Upgrade Plugin ASAP.

    my wp-load.php is just in the /public_html but i can’t seem to find .maintenance. it’s either it doesn’t exist or it’s hidden. i tried using the cpanel and ftp to find the file but to no avail.

    You need to set your FTP client to view hidden files, or find an FTP client that can be set to view hidden files.

    What happened to the Site Stats when I upgraded to Word Press version 3.0.2 – they have disappeared. I know that the articles are being viewed but the STATS have STOPPED!

    Farmer Jim, try deactivating and deleting the plugin, then reinstall it.

    If you need further assistance, please start your own topic.

    And, please don’t hijack unrelated topics in the future.

    I did that and I only found .htaccess. No .maintenance

    In that case, something else is stuck, probably brought on by the massively out of date plugin.

    First, try manually resetting your plugins.

    If that doesn’t work, I’m afraid you’ll have to re-do the upgrade manually.

    I clicked onFeedback to get here… I wasn’t trying to Hi-Jack anything or anyone. The link from the Dashboard took me to this topic. My apologies.

    This was about upgrading the WordPress I thought… and that was when I noticed my problem.

    Farmer Jim, not a problem, I understand the confusion.

    You can start a new topic at the bottom of any forum section.

    Specifically, here’s a link to start a new topic with the proper tag for the Stats plugin already included: https://www.ads-software.com/tags/stats?forum_id=10#postform

    Thanks James. I will try that. WAUP has caused me a great deal of inconvenience.

    Manually resetting the plugins thru phpMyAdmin didn’t work. Will try upgrading manually
