What does this service cover?
Start with the symptom
Share the error message, broken page or feature, what changed recently and how the issue affects the site. I check logs and the relevant WordPress, hosting and browser context before changing things. Focused WordPress troubleshooting for plugin conflicts, PHP errors, broken pages, login issues, forms, updates and configuration problems.
Isolate the cause
The problem may sit in a plugin, theme, PHP version, permissions, cache, database setting, DNS record or server configuration. The goal is to identify the smallest useful scope instead of replacing unrelated parts.
Apply a controlled fix
Changes are kept focused and reversible where practical. I avoid broad updates or redesign work unless they are directly required to solve the issue you hired me for.
Test the affected workflow
The repaired page, form, login, redirect or admin action is checked again. If the fault depends on a third-party service or host limitation, that boundary is documented clearly.
What is the typical scope?
The exact work depends on your site, but these are the checks and tasks this service typically covers.
- Plugin or theme conflicts after an update
- White screen, fatal errors and PHP warnings
- Broken admin screens or login problems
- Forms, redirects, media and layout issues
- Database, memory and configuration errors
The exact scope is confirmed from the real site and problem before changes are made.
How does the work proceed?
- Capture the symptom: error messages, broken pages, recent changes and business impact, checked against logs and environment context.
- Isolate the cause: plugin, theme, PHP version, permissions, cache, database, DNS or server configuration — the smallest useful scope, not a rebuild.
- Apply a controlled fix: focused, reversible changes; no broad updates or redesigns unless the issue requires them.
- Test the workflow: the repaired page, form, login or redirect is verified, and any third-party or host limits are documented.
What you need to provide
Most of the technical work is on my side. To start, I usually need:
- The error message or a description of what is broken
- What changed recently — updates, new plugins, host changes
- WordPress admin and hosting access
- How the issue affects the business, for prioritization
Typical timelines
Diagnosis usually within a day; most focused fixes complete in 1–3 days. Issues depending on third-party services or host limitations are identified quickly even when the fix itself needs the provider.
Frequently asked questions
My site shows a white screen or fatal error — can it be fixed?
Usually yes. White screens are typically PHP fatal errors from a plugin, theme or version mismatch. I read the error logs to identify the culprit rather than guessing.
Will you just update everything and hope?
No — that is how small problems become big ones. Updates are applied deliberately after diagnosis, with a backup and a way back.
I cannot log into wp-admin. Can you still help?
Yes. Login failures have several distinct causes — cookies, plugins, database, URL settings — and hosting-level access lets me diagnose even when wp-admin is unreachable.
How do you avoid breaking other things while fixing?
Changes stay focused and reversible, and the affected workflow is re-tested. Anything risky happens on a staging copy first where practical.
What if the problem is my hosting, not WordPress?
Then I will prove it with evidence and tell you exactly what to ask your host — or handle the migration if the host is the real problem.
Do you fix issues caused by page builders?
Yes — Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg and similar. Builder issues are usually conflicts, cached assets or version mismatches, all diagnosable.
Keep the scope proportionate
This service is for focused troubleshooting and repair. Large custom application development, major plugin rewrites and complex bespoke integrations are scoped separately.
Before starting, we agree on access, the requested outcome, testing and anything clearly outside the job. Hosting subscriptions, premium software and third-party charges remain separate unless stated otherwise.
Start with a clear scope
Describe your website and what needs to happen. You will receive a fixed scope, price and timeline before any work starts — no passwords needed at the enquiry stage.
