## Descripció

TearSnow Update Lock Cleaner is a lightweight utility plugin developed by [TearSnow](https://tearsnow.com/)
in collaboration with [Fanly](https://zhangzifan.com/) to resolve WordPress update
lock issues.

It automatically removes core_updater.lock, auto_updater.lock, and related update
transient data, restoring the normal WordPress update process. After execution, 
the plugin automatically exits without providing any admin UI, database changes,
or frontend impact. It is designed for emergency recovery scenarios.

During WordPress updates, the system creates a temporary update lock in the database
to prevent concurrent update operations and data corruption. This lock is typically
a timestamp value.

 * ✅ Under normal conditions: the lock is automatically removed after the update
   completes or expires within approximately 15 minutes.
 * ❌ If an update fails or is interrupted: the lock may remain permanently, preventing
   further updates unless it is manually removed from the database.

When WordPress detects an active update lock, it blocks further updates and displays
the message: «Another update is currently in progress.»

#### Core Features

 * Removes WordPress core_updater.lock update lock
 * Removes auto_updater.lock automatic update lock
 * Cleans update_core transient cache data
 * One-click execution with no configuration required
 * Automatically exits after execution (no admin UI)

#### Use Cases

 * WordPress stuck on «Another update is currently in progress»
 * Unable to update plugins or themes
 * Core update is blocked due to a stuck lock
 * Cannot restore update functionality via the dashboard

#### How It Works

WordPress creates update locks during update operations to prevent conflicts. These
locks are normally released automatically after completion, but may remain in the
database if an update fails or is interrupted.

TearSnow Update Lock Cleaner detects and removes the following items:

 * core_updater.lock
 * auto_updater.lock
 * update_core transient cache

After cleanup, WordPress update functionality is restored to normal.
