Has your WordPress website been stuck in maintenance mode for longer than scheduled? Although, I don’t know why this problem occurs I know exactly how to fix it.

For this fix, you will not be needing any plugins. Depending on your host provider the steps to fixing this problem may be slightly different but it’s all around the same process.

Find your file manager on your host provider and find the site’s folder that’s under maintenance. Once the folder is open you may see a “.maintenance” file otherwise, you’ll have to type it in your search option.

Select the “.maintenance” file and delete it. Once you’ve done so your site should be back to normal and at regular functioning.
