When it comes to major WordPress point releases you might consider reaching out to us for a White Glove Update. Since the introduction of the Gutenberg block editor, WordPress changes can be rather dramatic as new features and functionality are added. In those cases it makes sense to have your theme creator test and fix any breaking changes to the theme itself. With our White Glove Update service, we’ll copy your site to staging, run the updates, and correct any breaking changes to the theme. Prior to a major WordPress release, our team tests the beta version to identify potential breaking changes and new features. We document our findings on our WordPress Updates page and email our clients, so you'll know ahead of time if we think this WordPress release is safe to update yourself, or if we recommend a white glove update. Standard Support plan: if you request a White Glove Update, we’ll schedule it after we've completed all the Priority Support White Glove Updates, and will invoice you at the end of the month for time spent performing actual work. Most sites require 1-2 hours of work ($250 - 500), but since every site is unique, as well as every major WordPress update, we don't have a flat-rate for this service. There are typically two major point releases annually. Priority Support plan: We'll automatically schedule a white glove update for you after every major WordPress update. You will not be invoiced separately as White Glove Updates are included in our Priority Support plan.
