WordPress Repair & Emergency Fixes

Repair work is billed at $89/hour, tracked to the minute. Before starting, we assess the issue and provide you with an estimated scope so there are no surprises. Simple fixes may take under an hour; more complex problems such as malware removal or deep plugin conflicts may require more time, which we communicate transparently upfront.

WordPress sites accumulate plugins over time — each adding its own JavaScript, CSS, and PHP code to the page. When two or more plugins interact unexpectedly, or when a theme is incompatible with a recently updated plugin, conflicts arise: white screens, broken functionality, admin panel inaccessibility, or layout distortions. We systematically isolate the conflicting components, resolve the incompatibility, and advise on long-term prevention.

Yes. Slow WordPress sites are almost always caused by identifiable, fixable factors: unoptimized images, missing caching, bloated or poorly coded plugins, unindexed database tables, excessive external scripts, or inadequate hosting resources. We diagnose the root cause and apply targeted performance improvements — not just surface-level tweaks.

Over time, WordPress databases accumulate significant overhead: post revisions, auto-drafts, orphaned metadata, transient options, and spam comments. This bloat slows down queries and increases page load times. We clean and optimize the database structure, reducing its size and improving response times — without touching your actual content or settings.

Yes. Malware removal is one of the more critical repair scenarios we handle. This involves a full security scan, identification of infected files, removal of malicious code, verification of all core files against official WordPress checksums, and hardening measures to prevent reinfection. We also identify the likely entry point — outdated plugins, weak passwords, exposed wp-admin — and advise on closing those vulnerabilities.

Where relevant to the issue — yes. Many repair cases are directly caused by outdated software components. As part of the fix, we apply necessary updates in a controlled manner. If your site requires broader ongoing update management, the Maintenance Package is the appropriate follow-up.

Yes. We work on any WordPress installation, regardless of who built it. We begin with a technical assessment of the existing setup — theme structure, installed plugins, hosting environment — before starting any repair work. If we identify systemic issues beyond the immediate problem (e.g., no child theme, no backups), we flag these and can quote remediation separately.

We communicate proactively. If the scope expands beyond the initial estimate — for example, if a deeper issue is uncovered during diagnosis — we inform you before proceeding and obtain your approval. You remain in control of time and cost at every stage.

Yes — expert guidance on prevention is included as part of every repair engagement. Depending on the issue, this may include recommendations on plugin selection, update discipline, backup strategy, security hardening, or hosting configuration. The goal is not just to fix the current problem, but to reduce the likelihood of the same issue returning.
