 * Hi
    i tried to update from Woo 4.0.2 to Version 6.0.0 (on a WP Installation with
   WP 5.8.2) – I clicked on update – The woo-window open with the list of compatibilies
   and the message that this is a mayor update – i click the pink button to “realy
   update”
 * Nothing happened.
    Even after 20 minutes nothing happened and WP said its still
   woo 4.0.2. I tried again. Now i cant login anymore cause WP is in maintenance
   mode. I wanted to fix it by deleting the maintenance file that usually is in 
   the root directory – but there is none.
 * What now please?
 * kind regards
    axel

 * Hello,
 * I recommend making a backup of your site first since updating from 4.0.2 to 6.0.0
   is a big jump: [https://woocommerce.com/document/backup-wordpress-content/](https://woocommerce.com/document/backup-wordpress-content/)
 * Once that’s done, please temporarily switch your theme to [Storefront](https://wordpress.org/themes/storefront/),
   disable all plugins except for WooCommerce, and then update WooCommerce to see
   if that helps.

 * We’ve not heard back from you in a while, so I’m marking this thread as resolved.
   If you have further questions, please feel free to open a new topic.
