What I fix

Most WordPress problems fall into a handful of groups. If yours is on this list, I've fixed it before:

How a fix works

  1. Message me the URL and what's wrong, by WhatsApp, text, email or the form. A screenshot of the error, and what changed just before it broke, saves a lot of time.
  2. I take a look from the outside and reply within 24 hours with a quote. You don't give me any access until you've agreed it.
  3. You create a temporary login. I back the site up, then fix it. Where a fix carries any risk, I try it on a copy first.
  4. I tell you what was wrong in plain English, what I changed and anything worth keeping an eye on.

Most fixes are done within 1 to 3 working days. If the site is down and costing you money, say so and it jumps the queue.

Why WordPress sites break

In my experience, very few broken WordPress sites are badly built or hacked. Most broke for one of four ordinary reasons:

  • An update A plugin or theme updated and no longer gets on with something else on the site. Automatic updates make this more common, because nobody checks the site afterwards.
  • The host changed something Hosting companies upgrade the PHP version on their servers, and old plugins that haven't been updated for years stop working overnight. See WordPress broken after a PHP update.
  • Too many plugins Every plugin is someone else's code. Thirty plugins means thirty chances of a conflict, and a slower site. See how too many plugins affect WordPress.
  • Something expired Hosting, the domain, the SSL certificate or a premium plugin licence ran out, and the reminders went to an old email address.

Knowing which one it is matters, because it tells you whether the fix will stay fixed. I'll always tell you.

Bigger jobs

Some problems are more than one fix. These get their own quote before any work starts:

  • Hacked sites and malware, including cleaning the site, closing the way in, changing every password and asking Google to remove any warning
  • Moving to new hosting, with email and DNS handled so nothing goes missing
  • PHP and plugin upgrades on sites that have been left for years, done on a copy and tested before going live
  • Speed work across a whole site, rather than one slow page
  • Rebuilding a broken theme or replacing a page builder that's causing constant problems

Fix or rebuild?

Most sites don't need starting again. They need the parts that aren't working sorting out, and a fix is almost always quicker and cheaper. Sometimes, though, a site is so old, slow or patched together that every fix just uncovers the next problem, and a rebuild is the better use of your money. If that's the case, I'll say so and explain why. Read fix your website or rebuild it to judge for yourself, or see what to check first when WordPress breaks.

Stop it breaking again

Most of the sites I fix had nobody looking after them. The care plan, from £20 a month, covers hosting, updates checked by a person, security monitoring and small edits. If you'd rather do it yourself, follow the WordPress update checklist.

Questions

What do you need from me?

The site address and a description of what's wrong (a screenshot helps). Once you've agreed the price, a temporary admin login, and hosting access if the problem is on the server.

Do I have to give you my password?

No. Create a separate admin user for me, or I'll tell you exactly how. Once the job is done you can delete it, which I'd recommend.

What counts as one fix?

One problem with one cause, such as a contact form that's stopped sending, a page that's broken after an update, or a menu that doesn't work on mobile. If what you've described turns out to be several separate problems, I'll tell you before going further.

What if the fix is bigger than £49?

I'll tell you what's involved and give you a price before doing anything. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you back up my site first?

Yes. I take a full backup of files and database before changing anything, so the site can always be put back to how it was.

My site is down and I'm losing customers. How fast can you help?

Say it's urgent when you message. Sites that are completely down jump the queue, and I'll aim to have yours back up the same day.

Do you work with Elementor, Divi and other page builders?

Yes. Most sites I fix are built with a page builder or a theme from a marketplace, and many problems come from exactly those after an update.

Can you stop it happening again?

The care plan, from £20 a month, covers hosting, updates, security monitoring and small edits, so updates are checked before they break the site.

Still broken? I'll fix it.
