WordPress Fixes & Updates

My WordPress site has become unreliable—pages sometimes refuse to load, several images and internal links return 404s, and a few key plugins have stopped functioning altogether after the latest core update. I’m not comfortable digging through the backend myself, so I need an experienced WordPress pro to step in, troubleshoot, and leave everything running smoothly.

Here’s what I’m dealing with right now:
• Site not loading properly and intermittent time-outs
• Broken links and missing images scattered across several pages
• Plugins that either crash or won’t activate

Once those issues are stable, I also want to bring everything fully up to date:
• Safely update the current theme (child theme preserved)
• Update or replace every plugin so the stack is on the latest stable versions
• Refresh a handful of content blocks I’ll provide

New functionality I’d like added while you’re in there:
• A clean, spam-protected contact form
• A branded blog section ready for regular posts (no e-commerce for now, but future-proofing is welcome)

Technical setup: the site is on a cPanel/LiteSpeed host running PHP 8.1 and MySQL. You’ll get full admin and SFTP access. Please work from a staging clone, keep full backups, and document any code or CSS tweaks so I can follow along later.

Deliverables
1. Live site loading correctly with zero 404s or console errors
2. Core, theme, and plugins fully updated and conflict-free
3. Working contact form and blog archive/post templates
4. Post-implementation report summarizing changes and versions
5. I need a secure website.

Acceptance criteria: GTmetrix grade B or better, zero broken links on a Screaming Frog scan, and all plugins active without conflicts. Ideally the whole job can wrap up within a week once we start.

Let me know your approach, relevant tools (WP-CLI, Elementor, etc.), and estimated turnaround. I’m ready to move quickly.
