Plugin Maintenance & Rescue
Inherited a plugin nobody can maintain? We take over abandoned code, make it safe, document it, and keep it running.
$400–800 audit
remediation quoted after · upkeep from $150/mo
🧩
Someone takes ownership of the plugin nobody on your team wants to open.
Every agency has one: a custom plugin from a developer who is gone, holding up a client
site nobody wants to touch. It works until WordPress or PHP moves, and then it is an emergency
on someone else’s schedule.
How we take it over
- Audit — what it does, what is dangerous, what will break next. You get this
in writing before any code changes. - Stabilise — security issues and deprecations first, features never.
- Document — so the next person is not in the position you are in now.
- Maintain — optional ongoing cover for PHP and WordPress version changes.
The honest part
Sometimes the audit concludes that rewriting is cheaper than rescuing. We would rather tell
you that in week one than bill you for six weeks of patching first.
