Agreed website scope
One WordPress production site with specific, reproducible symptoms.
WordPress Update Recovery & Stabilization
Your WordPress site became unstable after an update. Diagnose the cause before defining the fix.
Restore agreed critical workflows, establish a stable baseline and leave with a safer update and rollback path.
An update is a trigger—not yet a proven cause
WordPress core, plugins, themes and page builders interact. Diagnosis must establish the actual cause before remediation scope is promised.
When this route may fit
Named critical workflows
Pages, forms, booking, checkout or editing workflows that must be restored and checked.
Safe evidence access
Hosting and WordPress access, active licenses, backup and staging—or a safe way to establish them.
What update recovery includes
- Record the starting state and important evidence.
- Reproduce and isolate the problem outside production where practical.
- Stabilize the agreed components and critical workflows.
- Run focused regression checks for the agreed workflows.
- Document changes, rollback path, residual risks and next steps.
Decision work and implementation are different
| Route | What it provides | Typical price range, United States dollars (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Stabilization Decision Roadmap | Available evidence, known risks and a written decision plan | $450–950 USD; typically 3–5 working days |
| Update Recovery implementation | Hands-on restoration of agreed workflows and a documented stable baseline | Typical scoped range: $2,000–3,000 USD after fit review |
What is not included by default
Malware or breach response, redesign, new functionality, full builder migration, complex integrations, third-party fees, after-hours availability, formal uptime commitments, open-ended support or ongoing Maintenance & Support, which has a separate onboarding baseline and recurring scope.

Frequently asked questions
Does instability after an update prove that the update caused it?
No. An update may expose an existing compatibility, environment or dependency problem. Diagnosis must establish the cause before remediation is promised.
Is the $2,000–3,000 USD scenario a fixed price?
The $2,000–3,000 USD range applies to a bounded recovery scope. The final quote depends on evidence, access, backups, licences, staging and affected workflows.
What do you need before hands-on recovery?
A reproducible symptom, authorized WordPress and hosting access, active licenses, a viable backup and staging path where practical, and clearly named critical workflows.
Free public WordPress assessment
Not sure whether the update caused the instability?
Start with the free WordPress Scan. It reviews publicly observable WordPress, response, delivery, maintenance and search signals, then gives you a bounded modernization assessment and a clearer next step. No admin access is required.
The Scan does not confirm private technical root causes. If the report surfaces a signal that matters and you are unsure what to do next, ask us to help interpret the evidence.
