If you’re familiar with WordPress you likely already know it’s the world’s most popular blogging and content management system on the Web and is used by millions of website owners. While there are many incredible benefits of using WordPress, it’s definitely not infallible and can cause some pretty big headaches!
As a WordPress user you’ve likely discovered that it offers themes allowing you to create your website quickly, has unlimited plugins that allow you to extend the functionality of your WordPress site without knowing how to code, and that WordPress is generally pretty easy to install and update. Even with all these fantastic attributes and its flexibility the WordPress platform comes with complexities so it’s not uncommon to feel frustrated and confused at times.
Most importantly, don’t panic!

This is where WordPress Support & Maintenance comes in. We can assist you with any technical or system updates you may require.
– On the Troubleshooting Side –
While your hosting company can help you with hosting-related issues, there are any number of situations you may find yourself needing one-to-one WordPress support. Every WordPress website owner should have a skilled WordPress person they can turn to when they need a little help.
Some challenges that are common to all WordPress sites include:
- questions about how WordPress works
- how to configure your theme
- how to install plugins
- help resetting your password
- how to move your WordPress site to another hosting provider
- small fixes, changes and updates
- adding blog posts and updating images
- ensuring website security
- fixing hacks
- restoring backups
- researching & fixing more complex issues
– On the Maintenance Side –
Your WordPress “Dashboard” is the back end of your site, the behind-the-scenes part that isn’t visible to the public; the place your WordPress functions and the core itself resides. As your website ages it accumulates a lot of information and it is important to free up space and increase performance. The more you maintain your site, the harder it is for it to be breached.
When you don’t update your WordPress site you are risking your website security and missing out on all the most recent improvements the open source developers have added. With each new WordPress release, new features are added, performance is improved, bugs are fixed, and existing features are enhanced to stay up to date with industry standards.
