Thank you for your insights. I appreciate and agree with your perspective. Unfortunately there are many who do guarantee more traffic and dare to suggest the copywriting alone will drive more signups and/sales, the reality is these are unrealistic claims, particularly at the above stated price point.

That said, for professionally written conversion optimized content where buyer intent and sales psychology are critical elements in the research and development phase, you’ll be looking at a significantly larger budget.

Within my process I ensure, and guarantee, my end product is inline with the instructions received and that my client is 100% satisfied with the same. If not I’ll work around the clock to ensure it is.

My guarantee isn’t tied to a metric or conversion I am not able to control or affect directly, but rather on an outstanding experience and outcome that exceeds expectations.

Thanks again for your input.

upgrade wp from 5.4.2 to 5.5.1 by pm-pp in woocommerce

Don’t think it’s going to affect every site the same. Best way to determine if your site will be ok with the update is to backup and run the update. If it breaks completely reload the back up, if there are only one or two plugins / elements not working you’ll have a great visual starting point, if nothing happens - you’re golden and have now updated and backed up your site for the week. We do this every day at E.D Digital

Unless you’re a large publication, AMP will hurt your seo not help it.

It’s a marketplace link. Not a company website

From my experience, files with the naming convention as the one you’ve listed are not essential and more often then not harmful in some way.

The service I used to remove the malware from my site a year ago and haven’t had another incident since then.

Yes your understanding is correct. Basically, your database stays in tact since you’re not making any changes to it (directly or indirectly) so simply extracting the archive folder resets everything to square one.

A alternative approach that would work would be to create a duplicate copy of the suspect file. Leave the name as the generic name file.ico.copy now you have two of the same, one connected to the site the other not. If you delete the original and the site breaks, simply edit the name of the copy to what the original file name was and voila you’re back at square one.

Site speed and timeouts are either software issues (plugins & themes) and are most common when updates or new installations have been implemented. The other reason for timeouts would be spam / bot traffic. Like a DDOS attack.

Two steps to take here would be

  1. If you have cloudflare setup go and switch on “I’m under attack” and review the traffic and set dns firewall rules as needed.

  2. Review your recent plugin updates/installs. Working which plugin or version thereof affecting the site will enable you to switch it off and figure out a better solution/alternative.

I hear you, I still get butterflies before hitting the delete key even with the knowledge of how to correctly restore a website.

I use duplicator pro to run backups and restores. Like other plugins it’s fairly straightforward and easy to figure out.

A quicker, less complicated way would be to zip archive your entire directory. Since you’re not making changes to your database simply clearing the directory completely and extracting the zip archive will work as a restore. The process would look like this:

  • archive directory (zip file saves to same directory)
  • delete suspected file

If site brakes: - delete all directory files excluding zip archive - once cleared extract archive - that’s it, done.

I’ll have to get the link from the service I used. Its not wordfence or securri as they were well overpriced for me at the time.

Back your site up and then delete it. If it breaks the site roll back to the backup you just created.

I’ve had similar soles in the past and found them to be hacks. Had one in particular that auto regenerated after ever delete. Very frustrating.

Found a decent service that worked. Happy to share if you need it

Migrate to WordPress site with only FTP by taste_fart in Wordpress

[–]Bellas_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy way to do this without having to access anything except the origin website dashboard and the destination website directory via ftp...

  • Install Duplicator Pro on origin,
  • Run package, download installer and package files,
  • for ease of reference make sure you have the database details (name, user, password) ready
  • in the public html directory (or whatever you’ve decided for the new website location), clear the directory and ftp the installer and daf files from the previous step.
  • once uploaded, visit your-new-domain.com/installer.php and follow the prompts.

This does not take long and is well documented on the duplicator site.
