Premium Plan FAQs
Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we hear from new clients.
What happens when I sign up?
So glad you asked! Check out our onboarding process.
What do I need to provide so you can manage my site?
During the onboarding process we'll request a few things from you, including an Administrator-level WordPress user account and a login for your hosting account control panel (if not using our hosting). If we will migrate your site to our hosting, we'll also need access to your domain registrar in order to repoint your domain to the new hosting account. We keep this information safely stored in an AES-256-bit encrypted location.
What happens if my site breaks or gets hacked?
The whole purpose of our Care Plans is preventative care, so we hope to prevent anything from happening. While well-maintained websites rarely get hacked, it's just not possible to prevent all emergencies. In case your website does get hacked or breaks after an update, we'll be there to fix it, clean it or restore it with one of our fresh backups.
What's included in your security lockdown?
We're serious about strong security. Our Plans include features to safeguard your website like:
- Free SSL certificates
- Annual security audit
- Blocking users and hosts on industry blacklists, or who are caught scanning your site for openings
- Watching for unusual file changes
- Requiring strong passwords
- 2-factor authentication
- Daily malware scans
...and much more.
How do I request support?
Submit support tickets to our help desk here if you’re logged in to WP Minder. Or just send an email with a clear description of the problem to and we’ll start a new ticket for you at our support helpdesk.
Please be as descriptive about the problem as you can, you can even attach a screenshot if you think it’s helpful. And we’ll be in touch as quickly as possible.
What if I need more support time?
That's not a problem at all! We'll review your support request and provide a quote for you to approve, separate from your monthly Care Plan. However, many times we'll evaluate your request and with your approval, just provide the extra time at our current support rate.
Will you fix my custom commercial theme or plugin?
We’ll update commercial themes like Genesis (as long as you're using a child theme), and commercial plugins such as WooCommerce, but our sole no-charge remedy for breakages is to roll back to the previous version. We recommend you contact your developer to get your customized theme or plugin working correctly. If that’s not possible, we may be able to address the problem at our normal hourly rate of $115 (or higher for specialized programming) but your most efficient course of action will be using your developer who did the original work for you.
Can I hire you to do design or development work on my site?
Absolutely. Design and development work is done through our parent company Red Kite Creative. For projects like theme design and development, send us a note about what you need as we quote by the project.
New Site Evaluations
Although these Care Plans were designed for sites we build, we welcome new clients who are looking for a long-term relationship with a dedicated support team! But before we get started, we first do a Site Evaluation to become familiar with your website, how it was built and any potential issues that it has.
During the evaluation, we will check the basic condition of your site, make a full backup, and perform our usual website update and monitoring tasks. If we encounter any problems, we’ll make a list of issues to fix and suggestions for improvements needed in order for us to maintain the website. In most cases we can do the fixes for you at our normal hourly rate.
