WordPress maintenance · Wetzlar
Your WordPress site works, but nobody looks after its updates any more? I take over the maintenance of existing WordPress sites, including sites another agency built. I name the monthly price after a free check.
In short: WordPress maintenance at Coday means keeping WordPress, plugins and the theme up to date, keeping the PHP version at your hosting provider on a supported release, backing up before every update and monitoring whether the site is reachable. I also take over sites built by other agencies; your hosting stays with your hosting provider. I name the monthly price after a free check, and maintenance keeps the site up to date until a rebuild without PHP is due, if you want one.
WordPress maintenance
Maintenance includes four things:
I install updates for WordPress, plugins and the theme and then check that the site runs as before.
I keep the PHP version of your package on a release for which the PHP project provides security updates, and coordinate the switch with your hosting provider.
Before every update a backup is made. If something does not work afterwards, I restore it and look for the cause before I install the update again.
An automated service checks whether the site is reachable and notifies me when it goes down.
Takeover
If another agency built your site, no longer exists or has no time for it, I take over the maintenance. For that I need access to WordPress, to your account at the hosting provider and to the domain, plus the licenses of purchased plugins and themes.
Your hosting stays with your hosting provider: Coday does not host websites. The site, the access and the data remain yours. When maintenance ends, you change the passwords and I no longer have access.
Background
How to check your PHP version is explained on the page about PHP security; what the end of PHP 8.2 support means, in the guide.
Rebuild
A site without PHP code, hosted with a provider that runs no PHP, does not execute the code of these flaws. I remove old PHP installations in the same hosting package during the move. That does not make a website unhackable, because nothing does: Next.js needs updates too: on 3 December 2025 the React team disclosed a critical flaw in React Server Components (CVE-2025-55182) that also hit Next.js. [7]
The new site is built with Next.js or with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript without a framework.
Maintenance is the bridge until the move: it keeps your WordPress site up to date until the rebuild is due.
Price
Monthly price after a free check, price on request: I look at your site and then name a fixed monthly price before maintenance starts.
Cancellation follows the general terms and conditions.
The offer is for businesses, associations and the self-employed.
Emergency line: reachable around the clock, including nights and weekends
I work on my own. If I do not pick up, send me the address of your website and what happened through the emergency form on codayweb.de; I get back to you as soon as I see the message. I do not promise a fixed time for my reply.
I name the monthly price after a free check of your site. It depends on how many plugins the site has, what state it is in and whether the PHP version has to change. It is fixed before maintenance starts.
Updates for WordPress, plugins and the theme, the PHP version at your hosting provider on a supported release, a backup before every update and automated monitoring of whether the site is reachable. If something does not work after an update, I restore the backup.
Yes. For that I need access to WordPress, to your hosting provider and to the domain, plus the licenses of purchased plugins and themes. Your hosting stays with your hosting provider.
No. Coday does not host websites; your site stays with your hosting provider, and I work with the access you give me. When maintenance ends, you change the passwords and I no longer have access.
Under the general terms and conditions of Coday; they state the notice period for maintenance and support contracts.
Not against every one: That does not make a website unhackable, because nothing does. Maintenance makes sure that security updates for WordPress, plugins, the theme and PHP do not pile up, that a backup is made before every update and that an outage gets noticed. If a flaw is in PHP itself, as with the emergency updates of the PHP project of 21 October 2026, I coordinate the PHP update with your hosting provider.
