It seems to behave like it should again. Strange. Apparently a temporary glitch somewhere. I feel a bit dumb now, but I’m certain it didn’t work properly for a while. Could be it had to do with exceeded quota or something. Thank you for your time!

@shanghaitimes

worked for me too (tried one of two sites, but guess it will work for the second time as well).

What I did:
– changed the line of code
– updated to 4.4.1. within admin dashboard
– got stuck in maintenance mode: deleted .maintenance (in your wordpress root, same place as wp-config.php)
– f5 and all is fine
– updating plugins worked fine too

The answer might be found in this thread. Haven’t tried yet, but sounds like the solution.

Same question as simpsonhf

Same problem.

This is really annoying. Luckily I have two sites, one with hardly any traffic, one with a lot of traffic. Will try the manual update with the first one.

They should release a 4.4.0.1 or something that just tells us what code to change to make normal updates possible again. I’m afraid many people will now simply not bother to upgrade because it’s too technical. I’ve had many WordPress-sites for 8 years now and even I am very anxious about this manual update.

Brilliant, thanks so much.
