Capabilities
Custom plugins built to survive updates, and repairs for the ones that broke — including plugins whose original author has long since disappeared.
Overview
The most common thing we are called in to fix is a customisation someone made by editing a plugin's own files, or worse, WordPress core. It works until the next update overwrites it, and then it silently stops working — often without anyone noticing for weeks. WordPress has hooks and filters precisely so that customisation can survive updates, and using them is the difference between a fix and a recurring bill.
We build custom plugins where the functionality genuinely does not exist, and repair existing ones where it does. That includes plugins whose original developer has vanished: if the code is licensed such that we can maintain it, we can adopt it, patch its security holes, and keep it running rather than forcing a migration you did not budget for.
Capabilities
How We Work
Confirm the fault on a copy of your site before touching anything — no guessing from a description.
Find the actual cause, and tell you whether the fix is small, structural, or not worth doing.
Written against WordPress coding standards, tested against your plugin stack, not just in isolation.
Deployed through staging, with a note on what changed and why, for whoever comes next.
What You Get
Customisation that survives the next WordPress update by construction.
Every fault reproduced on a copy of your site before work starts.
Delivered versioned in your repository, not held on our servers.
Common Questions
Often yes. Most WordPress plugins are GPL-licensed, which permits maintaining a fork. We review the licence first, then patch security issues and keep it compatible with current WordPress versions.
That is a normal starting point. We reproduce the fault on a staging copy and bisect the plugin stack to identify the actual cause, rather than deactivating things at random on a live site.
Not always, and we will tell you when an existing plugin does the job. Custom makes sense when the behaviour is specific to how you work, or when you are paying for a bloated plugin to use one of its features.
