Why does my site say “Briefly Down For Scheduled Maintenance”?

Is your website showing the “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance” message?

You may encounter this message when applying updates to your site. This happens because a plugin or theme was interrupted before it could finish the updates process.

If you’d like to avoid this, make sure you allow each process to finish before leaving the updates page. This usually keeps the “Scheduled Maintenance” message from displaying.

The message will no longer appear once the plugins or themes have finished updating. Usually, this message goes away on its own after a few minutes. It should not last longer than 10 minutes. Remember to clear your browser cache when you check your site.

If you still see this message after clearing your browser cache, and it’s been over ten minutes, please contact Pressable’s Support Team.
