Theme and child theme edits
PHP template changes, header/footer work, custom fields, layout cleanup, and small feature edits without rebuilding the whole site by default.

Direct help from a developer
WordPress Support
WordPress help for business sites, agency client sites, old themes, plugin-heavy builds, page builders, content updates, and the kind of layout problems that always show up right before something needs to launch.

WordPress Support fit
WordPress sites that need practical help
This is for site owners and agencies that need someone comfortable inside the actual WordPress install: templates, child themes, plugins, widgets, menus, builder sections, redirects, tracking scripts, CSS, JavaScript, and whatever has accumulated over time.
WordPress support can cover the changes you already know you need and the problems that need investigation first. A specific failure can be scoped through WordPress troubleshooting; routine checks and updates can be organized through WordPress maintenance. The important distinction is what work is agreed, what result is expected, and how additional findings are handled.
A focused first step Get WordPress Help
Send the URL and tell me about old themes, child themes, and template edits. Include what should happen instead and any deadline or recent change that matters.
Get WordPress Help→I use WordPress Plugin Development to inspect hooks, plugin behavior, stored data, permissions, and update-safe extension points.
When this work starts from a visible symptom, the troubleshooting path may look more like WordPress site broken after a plugin update, CMS, plugin, and theme weirdness or forms and modals not working before it becomes a clean service request.
WordPress proof
Proof of WordPress cleanup, troubleshooting, and custom site work
This service is grounded in hands-on WordPress production work, not plugin-package reselling.
- Themes and templates Worked on custom themes, child themes, reusable sections, blocks, PHP templates, CSS, JavaScript, and page-builder output.
- Messy-site recovery Handled plugin conflicts, PHP errors, MySQL problems, caching issues, admin-side failures, and sites that became harder to manage after technical problems.
- Custom functionality Built and adjusted WordPress functionality when the better fix was not simply adding another plugin to the stack.
Working with AI-generated changes?
Put a Review Gate Before Launch
Use a focused checkpoint to catch fragile generated code, missed launch details, and repeat failures before the next release.
One practical checkpoint
Review what changed. Test what matters.
- Inspect generated or AI-assisted changes
- Test the critical launch paths
- Turn findings into a scoped fix list
WordPress Support scope
WordPress help without the runaround
A lot of WordPress work is not glamorous. A page broke on mobile. Elementor spacing got strange. A plugin update changed a layout. A tracking script was pasted into three different places. The SEO team has a spreadsheet of title, heading, redirect, and schema fixes that never made it into the site. That work can be handled hourly or at a project-based price, and it should not require a giant project wrapper.

- Elementor and page builder cleanup

WordPress Support tasks
Common WordPress tasks
Elementor and builder cleanup
Spacing problems, duplicate sections, mobile layout issues, bloated pages, broken modules, and builder pages that need to look intentional again.
Plugin troubleshooting
Conflicts, update issues, broken shortcodes, form problems, admin errors, performance drag, and plugin settings that need a technical review.
WordPress SEO implementation
Metadata, heading structure, redirects, internal links, schema support, indexation cleanup, and recommendations moved out of the audit doc and into the site.
Speed and cleanup support
Plugin bloat review, image cleanup, script placement, caching considerations, layout shift issues, and practical performance improvements.
Content and page updates
New pages, content swaps, image changes, navigation edits, embeds, tracking scripts, and cleanup work that keeps getting pushed off.
WordPress Support fit
When hourly or project-based WordPress help makes sense
Hourly or project-based support is a good fit when the site already exists and you need technical execution: a handful of fixes, a recurring task list, agency overflow, SEO implementation, page updates, or cleanup work. It is not unlimited work for a flat fee, and it is not a fake agency package. Send the URL and the task list, and The Web Guy can help figure out the best first move.
WordPress Support in practice
From a visible symptom to a verified fix
A useful request starts with what is happening. The investigation finds the responsible layer before the repair is agreed and tested.
What’s happening on your site?
- A visible part of the site stopped working or behaves differently for some visitors
- A form, checkout, admin screen, layout, integration, or tracked action is failing
- The problem appeared after an update, deployment, content change, or cache rebuild
What I investigate
Recent changes, server and PHP errors, browser console and network failures, plugin or theme interactions, cache layers, hosting behavior, and external integrations, as relevant to the symptom.
How the work proceeds
Each step narrows uncertainty before more changes are made.
- 1 Reproduce
- 2 Isolate
- 3 Agree
- 4 Repair
- 5 Retest
What you receive
A diagnosis, the agreed changes, verification results, unresolved dependencies, and a plain completion note that explains what changed and what still needs attention.
What to send first
The affected URL, expected versus actual behavior, when it started, recent changes, a screenshot or screen recording, and whether admin or hosting access still works.

Allowed a Form Embed Through WordPress Security Without a Broad Bypass
- Symptom
- A form-script widget could not be edited because the firewall rejected its external embed code, and the replacement form rendered at a browser-default narrow iframe width.
- Evidence
- The failing WordPress AJAX request and returned 403 response
- Change
- Added an allowlist rule for only the required POST parameter
- Verified result
- The editor works again without weakening the firewall broadly, and the embedded form now uses the full available width across screen sizes.
Published Structured Blog Content With Optimized Featured Images
- Symptom
- Several supplied articles needed to be published in an established WordPress design without losing their source images, SEO fields, categorization, or requested internal-link structure.
- Evidence
- Source documents and embedded primary images
- Change
- Duplicated the established post structure for consistent layout
- Verified result
- The articles were published in the site's native format with lighter featured images, complete metadata, and verified live placement.
WordPress Support fit and limits
What WordPress Support includes, and where the limits are
This is practical contract execution. The Web Guy can inspect the site, make changes, troubleshoot issues, explain tradeoffs, and keep work moving. Some problems depend on hosting, platform limits, third-party tools, access, business requirements, or existing code quality.
- Clear hourly rate or project price
- Plain updates
- No fake guarantees
- No unlimited flat-fee work
- No pretending every issue is simple
