Why it happens
WordPress runs on plugins, and plugins run on PHP. When either changes underneath the other, things break. PHP 8.1 reached end of life on 31 December 2025 and many hosts upgraded sites automatically; PHP 8.2 reaches end of life on 31 December 2026, so another round is coming. Old plugins and themes that haven't kept up stop working, and you see a critical error or a blank page.
We turn on error logging, find the plugin, theme or custom code at fault, and fix it properly: update it, patch it, or replace it with something maintained. Then we check the rest of the site for anything else that will fail on the next update.
What we fix
- 'There has been a critical error on this website'
We read the fatal error, find the plugin or theme behind it and fix or replace it without losing your settings.
- White screen of death
We trace the blank page to its cause (memory, a fatal error, a broken theme) and fix it.
- Broken after a plugin, theme or WordPress update
We roll back the change safely, then update it properly so you aren't stuck on old, unsafe versions.
- Can't log in to wp-admin
We restore admin access, check for unknown admin users and secure the login.
- Page builder (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery) layouts broken
We fix the builder conflicts and restore the layouts from revisions or backups.
- Site is slow or falls over under traffic
We find the slow plugins and queries, add proper caching and check the hosting is up to the job.
