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.
