Title: Error during Plug-in Update Last modified: January 28, 2020 --- # Error during Plug-in Update * [bheiser1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bheiser1/) * (@bheiser1) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-plug-in-update/) * I periodically see errors like the following when I use the Plugins page to update to the latest plugin versions. It doesn’t happen with ALL plug-ins, and seems sporadic. I usually find that the upgrade actually did work, but is indicated as a failure. * Before I try the laborious “deactivate all other plugins and try again” common debug method, is this kind of error common with a known resolution? Thanks in advance! * Update Failed: Maintenance html { background: #f1f1f1; } body{ background: #fff; color: #444; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont,“ Segoe UI”, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, “Helvetica Neue”, sans-serif; margin: 2em auto; padding: 1em 2em; max-width: 700px; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13); box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13); } h1 { border- bottom: 1px solid #dadada; clear: both; color: #666; font-size: 24px; margin: 30px 0 0 0; padding: 0; padding-bottom: 7px; } #error-page { margin-top: 50px;}# error-page p { font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 25px 0 20px; } #error- page code { font-family: Consolas, Monaco, monospace; } ul li { margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 14px ; } a { color: #0073aa; } a:hover, a:active { color: #00a0d2;} a:focus { color: #124964; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #5b9dd9, 0 0 2px 1px rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.8); box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #5b9dd9, 0 0 2px 1px rgba(30, 140, 190, 0.8); outline: none; } .button { background: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid# ccc; color: #555; display: inline-block; text-decoration: none; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px; height: 28px; margin: 0; padding: 0 10px 1px; cursor: pointer;- webkit-border-radius: 3px; -webkit-appearance: none; border-radius: 3px; white- space: nowrap; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; -moz-box-sizing: border-box; box- sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 #ccc; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 #ccc; vertical-align: top; } .button.button-large { height: 30px; line-height: 28px; padding: 0 12px 2px; } .button:hover, .button:focus { background: #fafafa; border- color: #999; color: #23282d; } .button:focus { border-color: #5b9dd9; -webkit- box-shadow: 0 0 3px rgba(0, 115, 170, 0.8); box-shadow: 0 0 3px rgba(0, 115, 170, 0.8); outline: none; } .button:active { background: #eee; border-color: # 999; -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 2px 5px -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: inset 0 2px 5px -3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); -webkit-transform: translateY(1px); - ms-transform: translateY(1px); transform: translateY(1px); } Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance.

It’s actually standard WordPress. * You can read more about it here: [https://wpbuffs.com/briefly-unavailable-for-scheduled-maintenance/](https://wpbuffs.com/briefly-unavailable-for-scheduled-maintenance/) * To make a long story short – this can trigger the message: - A server’s slow response time - The interruption (or timeout) of an update script or a low memory issue * I hope it makes sense 🙂 Don’t worry, I’ve had that message over a thousand times before. * Best regards Aris Kuckovic * Thread Starter [bheiser1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bheiser1/) * (@bheiser1) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-during-plug-in-update/#post-12419940) * Thanks for your response (apologies for my slow response in reply). I do understand of course the “briefly unavailable for maintenance”. What seems wrong is that it is displayed with a bunch of code in the middle of the Plug-in upload page. I would expect to only see that error when trying to access the website when it’s been marked down for maintenance. Also it seemed odd that the plug-in update reports as “failed”.
