If you are getting the message “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.” don’t panic. This happens because an update was unsuccessful and a file is created that is called .maintenance. So whenever you upgrade something and it fails your blog gets stuck in maintenance mode.
Simply delete this file (.maintenance), which is in the root of your WordPress installation. If you can’t see it you need to show hidden files on your server.
If you don’t want to see this message again, download the file wp-settings.php (in root folder) and find these lines:
// Check if we're in maintenance mode.
wp_maintenance();
Change to:
// Check if we're in maintenance mode.
// wp_maintenance();
and upload.
