I will update PHP to 8 latest, fix php errors, remove malware, secure wordpress site
David O
About this gig
Is your WordPress site on an old PHP version, or broken after a PHP update? I will upgrade it to a current, supported PHP 8 release, fix what breaks, scan for malware and tighten security.
Why now:
PHP 8.1 and older no longer get official security fixes, and two critical PHP flaws were patched in October 2026. More will likely surface, so staying on a supported, updated PHP version keeps a site protected.
How I work:
- Full backup first
- Test the upgrade on a staging copy
- Fix plugin, theme and custom code errors (fatal errors, white screen, deprecated functions)
- Scan for malware and clean what I find
- Harden security (updates, login protection, file permissions)
- Go live & verify everything works
You get a working site on supported PHP. I have 7+ years with custom PHP, WordPress, WooCommerce, plugins, and themes, and I do staging-to-live work with backups and rollback.
Why choose me:
- Tested on a staging copy, never on your live site
- Quick response
- Clear report at the end
To start, I only need your web hosting login.
Heavily infected sites, suspended accounts or large WooCommerce stores may need a custom offer. Message me first and I will quote it exactly.

FAQ
Which PHP version will you upgrade me to?
A supported PHP 8 version, usually 8.3 or 8.4, depending on what your host, theme and plugins allow.
Do you work with my hosting provider?
Yes. I’ve worked with cPanel, VPS and managed WordPress hosts, and I can handle the PHP change on most platforms.
Will my site break during the upgrade?
It can, which is why I take a full backup and test on a staging copy first. Errors from old plugins or themes get fixed or flagged before anything goes live.
Which package includes malware cleanup?
Premium only. It covers the one WordPress site you order. Several infected sites on one host need a custom offer, so message me first.
Do you also update WordPress, plugins and themes?
Yes, as needed for PHP 8 compatibility, in Standard and Premium. Basic fixes one error.
Will my site stay protected after you finish?
I clean and harden the site, then tell you how to keep it safe. Most reinfections come from weak passwords and outdated plugins, so I show you what to watch.
