“This video tutorial demonstrates how to fix your WordPress site that is stuck in ‘maintenance mode.’ It doesn’t happen a lot, but when the WordPress update process slips up on you midstream, it can be pretty disorienting.

Fortunately, the steps involved are pretty short and pretty simple, it’s just a matter of knowing what to do. One good thing to note: by default, WordPress stores the time a site went into maintenance mode in the .maintenance file, and will stop paying attention to it after ten minutes.
That means that if everything is behaving you’ll only have the error message “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.” showing for ten minutes if this does happen to you via an unexpected server hiccup when running an update.
