# Invalid Data when installing update

 * I’ve had this happen on a couple of sites this afternoon when updating Hestia
   free theme. Installation proceeds as normal until it has removed the old version
   then it errors out with “invalid data provided” and my websites are stuck in 
   maintenance mode. The theme folder is completely gone when checking via FTP. 
   The fix for this was to manually upload the new version via FTP and then delete
   the .maintenance file from the root directory. Both sites are back up and running.
   Not sure if this is a bug in WordPress or something with the theme itself.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finvalid-data-when-installing-update%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@sysopsavant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sysopsavant/),
 * Thank you for letting us know about this. It’s the first time we got this feedback.
   From the details you gave it might be related to WordPress, but we’ll investigate
   this in the next days to see if we can replicate it, to be sure it’s not something
   related to the theme.
    Let me know if you are still experiencing this in the 
   next updates.
 * Regards,
    Rodica
