The challenge

Theme files too old to update safely.

The main difficulty was outdated theme files that had not been updated in a long time. Updating them directly caused problems across the website.

FJC Inc website page design
  • Outdated parent and child themes

    The parent and child themes were significantly out of date.

  • Updates broke layouts

    Updating them broke layouts and styling.

  • Unsupported functions

    Some functions in the old theme were no longer supported.

  • Careful fixes

    Fixing these issues took careful handling to avoid breaking the site further.

  • No impact on the live site

    The updates had to be completed without affecting the live website.

Our approach

Fixed step by step, with the structure kept intact.

cmsMinds worked through the problems step by step instead of applying quick fixes. The goal was to stabilize the website and keep its existing structure intact.

  1. Core, plugin and theme updates

    We reviewed and updated all core files, plugins and themes.

  2. Layout and styling fixes

    We fixed the broken layouts and styling issues the updates caused.

  3. Theme files reworked

    We reworked outdated theme files to match the current WordPress setup.

  4. Compatibility issues resolved

    We replaced deprecated functions and resolved compatibility issues.

  5. Move to Pressable hosting

    We migrated the website to Pressable hosting for better performance.

  6. Ongoing maintenance

    We set up ongoing maintenance for updates, monitoring and improvements.

The results

A stable site, moved to Pressable with no downtime.

  • The site is more stable now that theme and compatibility issues are resolved.
  • Performance improved with updated files and better hosting.
  • The site is more secure with regular updates and monitoring.
  • The migration to Pressable was completed without downtime.
