Okay, I fiddled and got a fix to work, but now I’m unsure if it is a good idea.

I edited wp-settings.php and “commented out” the command to check whether site was in maintenance mode.

That seems a little sketchy – will it make site unstable?

This is what is in my main directory:

wp-admin (folder)
wp-content (folder)
wp-includes (folder)
homepage-index.php
index.html
index.php
license.txt
readme.html
18 of temp-write-test-XXXXXXXXXX
wp-activate.php
wp-blog-header.php
wp-comments-post.php
wp-config-sample.php
wp-config.php
wp-config2.php
wp-cron.php
wp-links-opml.php
wp-load.php
wp-login.php
wp-mail.php
wp-settings.php
wp-signup.php
wp-trackback.php
xmlrpc.php

I’m on Yahoo Small Business. When I go to File Manager to main directory, can find no file called .maintenance.

And if I click on “View” for any of the files, I get the “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance” message again.
