I just logged in to my WordPress administrator login to check on registrations for an upcoming event. They aren’t there. None of the options for events, registrations, etc., are there. Event Espresso shows in the left side menu at the bottom, but the only options are Maintenance, Extras, Help & Support, Extensions & Services, About. Help! This is critical to being able to hold my event!

Ok, I figured out that it was in “Maintenance Mode” and was disabled. I did not receive any email communication that this was happening and am pretty upset. I don’t know how long it was disabled, but I potentially lost business because people couldn’t access registration. Not cool.

Hi,
It sounds like your site is in Maintenance mode, and it’s ready for you to start a database migration. In which case, you go to the Event Espresso Maintenance page, then click the button to start the database migration. After 30 seconds or so, you’ll be able to access Event Espresso events and registrations again.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. I will try to explain. No one from Event Espresso put your site into maintenance mode. If someone else has admin access to your website, you could check with them to see if they were running any updates, or had put the site into maintenance mode and left it.

I’m the only person who has access to it. There was a flag for an update waiting, and the message on the update page was that my site had been placed in maintenance mode pending the update.

So did you run the update for the plugin, but didn’t see the message that the site was requiring a database migration?

I did see that, and ran the database migration.

If you ran the migration immediately after doing the plugin update, the site would have been in maintenance mode for only a minute or so.

Well that was what freaked me out a bit…it was in maintenance mode when I first logged in, before I looked at the update. I hadn’t logged into the site for a few days, and I don’t see any way I could have put it in maintenance mode accidentally. Once I looked at the update, I decided to run it to see if that would fix the problem. After it ran, it landed on the maintenance mode tab and I changed it then.

If you didn’t accidentally activate maintenance mode, then the other possibility is if your site is set up to do plugin updates automatically (basically run plugin updates without clicking on the “update” link) then the plugin’s update was initiated automatically.
