How fast can you respond to a WordPress emergency?

Probably yes. If it’s a WordPress problem, or a connected resource, reach out and describe it. I’ve handled everything from obscure plugin conflicts and Elementor breakdowns to DNS misconfiguration, SSL errors, email issues, database corruption, and migration failures. If it’s outside what I can fix, I’ll tell you immediately and you won’t be charged.

When you book with me, you get me, Casey Whitcher, directly. Not a ticket routed to whoever’s available on a global team. I’ve been building and repairing sites for 25 years, and since 2023 I’ve been recognized as a top WordPress tutor on Wyzant working one-on-one with business owners and developers. There’s no offshore handoff, no scripted troubleshooting tree, and no one-size-fits-all response. Just a US-based expert who knows WordPress inside out, accountable to you for the outcome.

Yes — full transparency is built into how I work. You can watch live as I diagnose and fix the issue, and I explain what I’m doing and why as I go. You’ll leave the session knowing what went wrong, what was fixed, and what to watch for going forward. If you’d prefer not to be present live, I offer a recorded session option with a full walkthrough video delivered after the fix.

The more you have ready, the faster we can move, but don’t let missing information stop you from reaching out. At minimum, having your WordPress login credentials and knowing where your site is hosted is enough to get started. I’ll walk you through anything else we need during the session, including how to find your hosting login, FTP credentials, or domain registrar access if needed.

If you’ve delt with Customer Support through your host, you already know the answer to this. With a ticket, or phone call to a first tier advisor, you describe the problem, wait for a response, answer follow-up questions, wait again, and hope whoever picks it up understands your setup. With this service, you get a live video session with one expert who looks at your actual site, diagnoses the real problem, and fixes it while you watch. No back-and-forth. No waiting. No scripted responses. Most issues that would take days through a ticket queue are resolved in a single session.

Yes — WooCommerce emergencies are a specialty. Whether your checkout is broken, orders aren’t processing, payment gateways have stopped working, (stripe, authorize.net, paypal etc) or a plugin conflict has taken down your store, I can diagnose and fix it during the session. Every hour your store is down costs you sales, so WooCommerce issues always get priority attention.

Yes. Hack recovery and malware removal are among the most common emergencies I handle. This typically involves scanning site files and the database for malicious code, removing infected files, reinstalling clean copies of WordPress core, and identifying how the breach occurred so it doesn’t happen again. I’ll walk you through every step live.

Yes, this is one of the most common emergencies I handle. A completely unresponsive site, white screen of death, or locked-out WordPress dashboard often means the fix happens at the hosting level first via cPanel, SSH, or your host’s file manager. I’ve worked on sites hosted on GoDaddy, SiteGround, WP Engine, Cloudways, Kinsta, Bluehost, Ionos, and more. You don’t need WordPress to be working for us to get started.

Yes. I’ll only ask for the specific access needed to diagnose and fix your issue, typically WordPress admin credentials and, if necessary, hosting panel or FTP access. Everything happens over a live, recorded video session so you can watch every action I take in real time. You’re never left wondering what was done to your site.

If I’m unable to resolve your issue, you don’t pay anything. The no fix, no charge policy is unconditional. I don’t bill for time spent on a problem I couldn’t solve. You’ll get an immediate refund before the call ends so you’ll never be left with a lighter wallet and a broken site.

Emergency WordPress support is a flat $199 per session if you book a time on my calendar. If you need immediate help, and I’m available, it’s a flat rate of $499. Most issues are fully resolved within that session. If a fix turns out to require significantly more time or complexity, I’ll explain exactly what’s needed and get your approval before continuing, there are no surprise charges, ever.

I respond to emergency requests the same day, typically within a few hours during business hours (Monday–Friday 6am–9pm CT, Saturday 10am–4pm CT). When you submit the form or reach out, you’ll receive my direct contact number to text me if it’s an emergency. If I have an opening sooner than the next available booking slot, I’ll get you in faster, sometimes immediately.
