What is WordPress Maintenance Mode?

At the time of updating themes, plugins or other WordPress core files the default WordPress settings create a .maintenance file under the root folder like this, “/public_html”. If that is an addon domain then you will find an addon domain folder in there.

If you click on the update then it will take a few seconds to get an update. if the update is stuck or WordPress is not able to remove the .maintenance file. Then you will see your WordPress website is in maintenance mode. You have to retain this website faster to make your website live.

Here are some reasons which may take your website into maintenance mode. The reasons are:

  • The Plugins/Theme you’re using is not compatible with the hosting you are using
