Important note regarding theme and plugin (“third-party module”) compatibility issues

Themes and plugins are third-party software modules that can be integrated with WordPress to enhance or customize its looks or functionality.

In case such a module ceases to work with a new version of WordPress, causes other modules to malfunction, or renders a WordPress site unusable, the effort that is required to fix such a compatibility issue can vary significantly, depending on the specific circumstances.

In such a case, we will investigate the problems and make a best-effort attempt to fix them. If a satisfying problem resolution isn’t possible within a reasonable amount of time, as part of our fixed-price service, we’ll deactivate the offending module to restore the overall usability of your site. We’ll also provide information regarding your options for fixing or replacing the malfunctioning module.

Important note regarding data loss, database issues and backups

In case your database is corrupted, or data has been deleted from your database, we’ll need to restore a backup to recover from any data loss that might have occurred.

If you don’t keep any recent and intact backups, as a result we’re limited to rebuilding whatever is still there. The same also applies to data stored in the filesystem, in particular to uploaded or customized files.

Consequently, it’s our urgent recommendation to create backups of both the files and the database of your WordPress site on a regular basis, and to keep copies of these backups off-site. It’s crucially important that this is done before something bad happens. So, if you’re reading this “before lightening strikes” and don’t have a backup scheme in place yet, please consider to send us an inquiry to let us help you getting you covered.
