Make my Woo Store PLugins Play nice

Job ID: 37783542

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

Seeking a WordPress DEVELOPER who can jump in to resolve some frustrating back end issues with my newly soft-launched merch site, integrated with Gelato for POD. I am personally well experienced with site-building in WP (and Drupal), and extensively with css, but this project has some issues that go deeper than my previous projects – here debugging by elimination (disabling plugins, reinstalling etc) is not enough. This should be a small job for a competant developer but, assuming a job well done here, I will likely have future, ongoing requirements.

**Core Requirements:**
- **Debugging Skills:** Identify the root causes of specific issues .
- **Optimisation:** Check hosting and resource consumption.

**Specific Problems to Address:**
- **Product Variations Not Generating:** Product population is held back without this.
- **Filter Plugins Unstable:** Some plugins fail intermittently.
- **General Instability:** Beyond the specifics, the site often behaves unpredictably, andhostinger complains of resource consumption, and the staging site has issues of its own. Check hosting and site settings.
- **Review php error messages:** with debug on, a number of errors are showing - will want to be sure any remaining errors are not critical.
- **Staging :** The staging site's admin has unaccountable css not loading for recently installed plugins - which don't happen when installed on the production site.

**Likely Follow up jobs:**
- **Staging Optimisation:** Support instaWP implemented standing without the resource blowout that happened on a previous attempt.
- **CSS Editor Plugin Optimisation:** Custom CSS has often been stale - failing to update.

**Skills and Experience Needed:**
- Proven track record with WP / Woo troubleshooting and optimisation.
- Strong understanding of PHP & JS in a WP and hosting context.
- English speaking and available for audio(/video) conversation - text is fine much of the time but an intial conversation, at least, can help establish understanding.

**Details:**
- Site: changegear.nz
- Staging: staging.changegear.nz (instaWP facillity available but not currently used )
- Hosting: Hostinger
- PHP: 8.1
- Theme: Spectra (block/FSE)
- Plugins: Classic Editor, Contact Form 7, Contact Form 7 Database, Custom Fonts , Folders, Gelato Print On Demand, GenerateBlocks, Grids, Hostinger, Optimole Image optimisation, InstaWP, Jarvis, Jetpack, Kadence Blocks, LiteSpeed Cache, Site Kit by Google, Spectra Settings, Stackable Blocks, UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore, WooCommerce, Woo Payments, Wordfence Security, WP Responsive Auto Fit Text, Yoast SEO, (& Various Product Filters).
- My timezone: New Zealand / Aotearoa NZDT (New Zealand Daylight Time). I usually start and finish very late.

In pitching, please indicate your rate, how soon you can start, and some specifics about your experience.
