WordPress Upgrading Service
We provide an upgrading service for any version of WordPress. Whether you want to update your WordPress to take advantage of new functionality or apply security updates, we can do it for you and take away the worry and stress of it.
The cost depends on how far behind your WordPress is and which plugins and theme you are running, so we price each upgrade individually - get in touch and one of our WordPress experts will quote you. Every upgrade includes a full backup of your website files and database, and we will talk you through the upgrade path and any additional costs, such as updating incompatible plugins, before we start.
How the upgrading service works
-
1
You will need to provide us with your WordPress website login details.
-
2
We will make a full backup of your WordPress website files and database.

We will then restore the backup to create a cloned WordPress website as your staging website.

We will then upgrade the cloned website for you to verify. Although we can verify some of your website, i.e. login and general page and plugin errors, no one knows your website better than you. Each WordPress installation is different, with any combination of paid-for and custom plugins installed. Sometimes these plugins are not compatible with the updated version.

Once you have validated your website we will backup and upgrade the production website. You will then need to validate the upgraded live WordPress website.
We are also able to upgrade your WordPress installation on another host. We can even upgrade your WordPress for free if you move to us!*
*Minimum hosting term is one year paid in advance.
