Fix WordPress sending you back to the login page after a correct password: cookies, site URL mismatches, HTTPS settings, caching, plugins and corrupt .htaccess rules.

Fix WordPress stuck in maintenance mode
Remove the "Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance" message after a failed update by deleting the .maintenance file, then finish the update safely.
