I provide regular maintenance updates to WordPress, plugins, themes and integrations for your WordPress website.
What I do
Updates and maintenance for WordPress websites
Whenever WordPress releases a new update, it includes critical fixes—patching security vulnerabilities, improving performance, fixing bugs, and introducing new features that strengthen your site’s core. If you skip or delay these updates, your website becomes vulnerable to attacks, crashes, and compatibility issues. I make sure your WordPress site stays up to date with core, theme, and plugin updates—tested and deployed safely—so your site runs smoothly, securely, and without interruption.
While WordPress makes it easy to click the update button, things often break when themes or plugins are updated—especially if there’s a version conflict, deprecated code, or missing dependencies. That’s why many non-technical site owners prefer professional support. I handle the update process safely, so you don’t risk downtime or broken layouts.
The Update Process
Before I update anything, I take a full backup of your website. Then I create a staging version—a private copy of your site where I run all updates safely. If everything works as expected, I’ll apply the same updates to your live website. If anything breaks, I fix it in staging first—so your public site stays stable and uninterrupted.
Updating Plugins
WordPress plugins are developed by third parties and can vary in quality and compatibility. I make sure each plugin update is compatible with your theme, WordPress version, and other tools. If an update isn’t available via the dashboard, I manually source it from verified developers and install it safely for you.
Updating your PHP version
Outdated PHP can slow down your site and break plugin compatibility. I make sure your WordPress hosting runs on the latest stable PHP version to boost speed, security, and performance. This update is done directly through your hosting panel—not WordPress—and I handle it for you safely.
