Real senior systems engineering — when plugin updates cannot save your server.

Yes. Track A is emergency PHP upgrade and legacy code stabilization: confirm patched packages, refactor deprecated PHP 7.x/8.0 patterns that break on 8.2–8.5, restart workers, and review recent error logs. Systems work starts from $450 fixed scope.

That is a common outcome when hosts jump End-of-Life PHP to 8.3/8.4 under a security deadline. We triage fatals, deprecated APIs, and plugin conflicts so the store runs on a patched branch—or we plan a Shopify escape if staying on WordPress is no longer worth the risk.

Urgent triage is measured in hours for intake, then a fixed-scope plan. Typical emergency PHP stabilization targets 24–48 hours once access and scope are clear. Honest yes or no within 48 hours on fit and price.

Choose Track B when you want to stop owning PHP workers permanently—especially after repeated hosting emergencies. WooCommerce and WordPress commerce migrations start from $550. We can sequence a short PHP harden, then replatform.
