Update WordPress, Fix 500
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
JUST A FEW HOURS OF WORK - My WordPress site is showing a generic HTTP 500 error right after login. I’m convinced the root problem is outdated components, so I only need the actual theme and plugin updates handled—no deep-dive debugging required.
Here’s what I expect:
• Safely back up the site first; I’m not sure a recent backup exists.
• Bring the active theme and every installed plugin up to their latest stable versions.
• Confirm the site loads normally without the 500 error once updates are complete.
• Return a quick summary of what you updated and the final version numbers.
No need to spend time tracing logs or profiling PHP; as long as the site is back online and fully updated, the job is done.
