 * To ‘resolve’ you just rename _.maintenance_ in the root to something else.
 * It would be good to get a resolution to this bug. Not great.

 * Hi guys,
 * We are sorry for the inconvenience. We have fixed this in [v3.1.26](https://wpastra.com/changelog/starter-templates-plugin/#version-3-1-26)
   that we released in the same day, yesterday (Feb 22, 2023).
 * And yes, deleting the `.maintenance` file from the file manager of your hosting
   will help you to get your site back. After that, you can then update this plugin
   again.
 * I am marking this thread as `Resolved` as the issue has been fixed in the latest
   update as I mentioned above.
 * Kind regards,
    Herman 😊

 * Hi Astra team,
 * The new 3.1.26 version doesn’t automatically update from the 3.1.25 and the admin
   plugin list doesn’t asks for manually update.
 * Should i have to update it manually from FTP or Upload ?
 * I use the Premium Starter Templates version
 * Thank you

 * [@bsfherman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bsfherman/) – We’re experiencing
   the same issue when updating from 3.1.25 to 3.1.26.

 * **Solution:**
 * The issue was being caused by a plugin bug that has now been fixed.
 * If your site is stuck in maintenance mode, you can fix that by deleting the “.
   maintenance” file in your main WordPress directory (probably /public_html)
 * To update to the fixed version:
    1. Deactivate the Starter Templates plugin (since it’s breaking the updater)
    2. Update the Starter Templates plugin to 3.1.26 or higher
    3. Reactivate the Starter Templates plugin

 * Hi guys,
 * Sorry, that I didn’t provide more detail about deleting the plugin first.
    In
   my case, it was working fine when I update from v3.1.24 to v3.1.26.
 * Following the steps mentioned by [@pikamander2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pikamander2/)
   [above](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-install-1-error/#post-16502006)
   will work and fix the issue. Thanks for sharing the steps, mate 🤝
 * Kind regards,
    Herman 😊
