    Has anyone come across a permanent solution to this issue other than having to go through FTP to delete the .maintenance file? This has been an ongoing issue for years and it is still happening. Begs the question….why? This is something that simply should not happen.

    At first thought, it could be a permissions issue on the server, but it should be able to delete if it can write.

    Second thought would be a plugin/theme is returning a fatal error at the end of the update, causing the update script to not complete, subsequently not deleting the maintenance file.

    I recommend turning on PHP errors, WP_DEBUG, and investigate the servers error_log
