    The problem

    Why this is hard today

    The error hides the cause

    A white screen or a 500 tells you something broke, not why. The answer is somewhere in the plugins, the theme, the logs or the database.

    Fixing live is a gamble

    Changing code on a live site without a backup or a way back can turn one problem into two.

    The client wants to know what happened

    Once the site is back, you still have to explain what changed, why, and who signed it off.

    How MaintainHQ handles it

    Gus diagnoses and fixes. You approve every change.

    Every fix goes through the same pipeline: your approval, staging or production as you choose, a backup, verification and automatic rollback.

    1. Step 1: Diagnose

      Gus reads the stack, theme, logs and database and names the cause, not just the symptom.

    2. Step 2: Prepare the fix

      Gus drafts the fix. For code, you see the diff before anything is applied.

    3. Step 3: You approve

      Nothing changes without your approval: in the dashboard, by a signed email link or from Slack. You choose staging or production.

    4. Step 4: Backup

      Every change has a backup first.

    5. Step 5: Apply and verify

      The fix is applied where you chose, then the site is checked afterwards.

    6. Step 6: Keep or roll back

      If the site got worse, the change is rolled back automatically.
    • Code changes are checked against WordPress coding standards before you are asked to approve them.
    • With a linked staging site, see the fix verified on staging, then promote the same fix to production with one click.
    • For 20 minutes after a code change, a fatal PHP error in the changed file puts the original back, even when the WordPress REST API is down.
    • Every fix leaves a change receipt: what changed and why, who approved it, the backup, the checks and the outcome.

    Backups you can restore

    Staging

    Link a staging site to production and refresh it with a fresh copy, so fixes can be tried there first.
