Well, the worst-case-scenario is that you become the target of hackers, malware injections, code vulnerabilities, and other serious performance issues.

Your host may decide to switch your site off if it’s malware infected. Your business could suffer as a result.

What we have also noticed is that if you wait too long to upgrade, then chances are, that your theme may break on the upgrade and conflicts may occur with scripts used.

Often, you might have to write-off the old site and invest in a new one. All this dramatically increases your costs.

The choice you as a website owner has is simple:

1. Upgrade it now for as little as $249 with select premium plugins included
2. Or wait and upgrade it later at our regular rates of $450

At some time, you will be forced to upgrade if you wish to keep the site in good order. Especially if inquiries and leads flow to you from your website.

The recommended practice is to upgrade your WP website once every 3 months if you are serious about your business.

Well, we will manually upgrade all the core application first, and then all the attendant plugins which are used on your website.

The plugin list itself on most WordPress websites is considerable:

• Forms
• SEO Plugins
• eStore Plugin
• Caching & Performance Optimization Plugins
• Backup Plugins
• Admin Helpers Plugins
• Image and Video Galleries
• JQuery scripts which are responsible for animation effects
• SEO helper code, etc

Forms, SEO, eStore, Caching & Performance Optimization, Backup, Admin Helpers, Galleries, JQuery scripts, SEO helpers, etc, all may need to be upgraded.

A few premium plugins such as Gravity Forms in WordPress, or Forms/ Caching, will be upgraded at no extra charge.

That would mean more saving from $39 to $120, at no extra charge to you.

Plus, we are happy to add automatic site promotion plugins at no extra costs.

Other premium plugins that are part of your website may have expired and you’d have to renew their license if you wish to continue with the site upgrade.

Usually commercial licenses are valid for just for one year from their date of purchase and we will have to check if any of these can be upgraded for free, or if we have it in our library.

We will also perform Google Page Speed tests on your web application and tweak the application for faster loading.

You will be able to notice a positive difference in page scores/ load times, after this upgrade effort.

Once all this is done in a production environment, we still take the site live and test it all over again.Select premium plugins such as Gravity Forms in WordPress, or Forms/ Caching, will be upgraded at no extra charge.

Why can’t you use the one-click upgrade offered in WordPress?

While WordPress does offer one-click upgrades, we have observed that this often breaks your website because of deprecated code.

It is therefore not an advisable strategy for site upgrades, especially between upgrade versions.

We discovered a few months ago that the auto site upgrade had made the Case Studies pages one of our websites on Pigtail Pundits disappear completely.

Two, WordPress auto site upgrade is only available for the core, not the plugins.

Often plugins are where the vulnerabilities occur in WordPress and there is no one-click upgrade for that.

Well, from our experience about 15 hours, depending on the problems we encounter during the upgrade and optimization, or $450.

But until 15 November 2019,, we’re happy to do it for a charge of just $249.

That’s 45% off from our normal rates to get your site in purring, Google-loving, hacker-malware-vulnerability-free condition.

Plus, to sweeten the deal, we are throwing in a few premium plugins for which we have Developer licenses. These include site promotion plugins and form plugins.

If you commit, you can be assured of the rates for site upgrades in November and December 2019 as well.

No, this offer does not include theme upgrades. There is a reason for this.

Most designers modify the WP theme directly. When this is so a theme upgrade will overwrite all the custom modifications that your designer has built for you. The site layout, look and feel will then go completely awry as a result of theme upgrades.

Theme upgrades are recommended only when your designer has strictly used a child theme for making modifications. But for reasons of time, and often ignorance of best practices, this is ignored by most designers.

It’s also possible that many different designers have worked on your site over time. Each has his/ her or her own way of working with the main and the child themes and now it’s a mix of modifications using inline, main theme, and child theme mods.

All this makes theme upgrades very messy and the possibility of ruining the site’s look and feel.

So it’s wise to keep the old theme as it is.

• You need to pay 100% advance for the site upgrade + speed up + theme + security + sharing/ promotion plugins
• You can avail it for just one site, or all the WordPress sites that you host
