WP Premium Support can handle numerous WordPress issues and maintenance needs. However, at times it is not always obvious which service in the catalog is best suited to address your concern. Here you will find some common issues and frequent requests, and the services best suited to help.

Note: Each service in the catalog costs only one credit from your subscription. However, the nature of a request or issue could require combining multiple services, and therefore require multiple credits.

Reconnect a WordPress site that was moved or broken

There are a number of reasons your WordPress site may need to be moved or set up again. Perhaps you attempted a manual migration and were not successful. Maybe your developer is no longer managing your WordPress site and gave you a .zip file containing a backup of your site. In situations like these, WP Premium Support can usually get your site up and running again.

The WP Premium Support service is not intended to migrate a live WordPress site from one host to another. As long as the files and database backup can be provided directly to the WP Premium Support team, then we can usually reconnect a site. Some options are uploading to the hosting account itself, or to an online file sharing site and you provide a link. Below are the services that when combined can reconnect a WordPress site.
