About this Gig
Please contact me before ordering. OJS upgrades and migrations vary significantly depending on the current version, target version, plugins, theme, database, PHP version, server environment and installation size.
I provide professional Open Journal Systems (OJS) upgrade and migration services for academic journals, publishers, universities and research institutions.
Depending on your project, I can help with:
OJS version upgrades
OJS server and hosting migrations
Database and files migration
Pre-migration backup and compatibility checks
PHP and database compatibility review
Configuration and permissions review

Every migration is evaluated before changes are made to reduce technical risk and determine the appropriate upgrade or migration path.
Important: OJS 2.x migrations, complex multi-version upgrades, compromised installations, custom plugins/themes, large institutional environments and projects requiring extensive compatibility work may require a custom offer.

FAQ
Do I need to contact you before placing an order?
Yes. Please contact me before ordering so I can review your current OJS version, target version, server environment and basic project requirements. This helps determine the appropriate package and migration path.
Can you upgrade any OJS version?
Upgrade paths depend on the current OJS version and technical environment. Older installations, especially OJS 2.x or complex multi-version upgrades, require an evaluation and may need a custom offer.
Can you migrate OJS to a new server or hosting provider?
Yes. I can migrate an existing OJS installation to a compatible new server or hosting environment, including the database, application files and configuration. The exact scope depends on the source and destination environments.
Will you create a backup before the upgrade or migration?
Yes. A suitable backup of the OJS files and database will be created or verified before migration work begins whenever the required server access is available.
Are custom plugins and themes included?
Standard compatibility checks are included according to the selected package. Custom plugins, custom themes, source code modifications or components requiring additional development may require separate evaluation and a custom offer.
Does the service include fixing a hacked or compromised OJS installation?
No. Security incident recovery, malware removal and compromised OJS environments require a separate technical assessment before any migration or upgrade is performed.
