Updates & maintenance
WordPress updates without breaking your site
Many site owners put off updates for fear of breaking something, so outdated plugins pile up, and they're one of the most common ways in. I handle updates with a backup first, then test the key pages after each step.

How I work
Step by step, with your permission
An illustrative path; the details depend on each site and what we agree.
What you get
- Core, plugins and themes updated
- Key pages tested after updating
- Abandoned plugins replaced where needed
- A before/after version report
What I need from you
- Your site address
- Who hosts your site
- The pages that must not break
- WordPress admin and hosting access once you approve the quote, changed again after handover.
If a component conflicts with a newer version, I'll show you the options before any major change.
Questions
About this service
For small security releases, usually yes. Major plugin and WooCommerce updates I prefer to test first, because one update can break checkout or the design.
I take a backup before each round, update in stages and test after each one, so if something breaks I know the cause and can roll it back quickly.
Yes. We agree on a schedule that fits your site and its plugins, with a clear scope for each round.
Core, plugin and theme updates, a check of accounts and backups, a look at errors and basic speed, then a short summary of what changed and what needs your attention.
A plugin without updates is an open door. I tell you what needs renewing and what has a trusted free alternative, and I never use nulled copies, a common source of infections.
