FAQ
What is included in WordPress maintenance?
BugShield maintenance plans combine 24/7 monitoring, off-site backups, security checks, activity logging, Core Web Vitals checks, and developer support. Shield Light also includes two bug fixes per month, while Shield Pro includes unlimited fixes.
Does WordPress maintenance include bug fixes?
Yes. Shield Light includes two bug fixes each month, and Shield Pro includes unlimited bug fixes. You can describe the issue, track progress, and chat directly with the developer handling it from your BugShield workspace.
How much do the plans cost?
Shield Light costs £99 per month and Shield Pro costs £199 per month. If you do not need ongoing WordPress maintenance, you can request a one-off bug fix for £49.99 instead.
Which plan is right for my website?
Shield Light suits sites that need dependable monitoring, weekly backups, and occasional help. Shield Pro is designed for busy websites and WooCommerce stores that benefit from unlimited fixes, daily and on-demand backups, malware protection, and priority handling.
Can I request a fix without subscribing?
Yes. One-off WordPress bug fixes are available for £49.99 with no monthly subscription. You receive a confirmed price, direct developer chat, secure credential storage, and a saved history of the work.
How are my website backups handled?
Shield Light creates weekly off-site backups, while Shield Pro creates daily backups and lets you run additional copies on demand. Restore points are available from your dashboard, where you can start a restore yourself when needed.
What happens when monitoring detects a problem?
BugShield alerts you when a monitored check finds a problem, so you can review what happened and request help from your workspace. Monitoring runs around the clock on both maintenance plans.
Can I manage more than one WordPress site?
Yes. You can add multiple WordPress sites to one BugShield account and switch between them from the same workspace. Maintenance plans are selected separately for each website, so you can mix Shield Light and Shield Pro.
Will I speak directly to the developer working on my site?
Yes. BugShield gives you direct chat with the developer handling your request. You can explain the issue, answer questions, follow progress, and keep the full conversation with the completed fix.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Yes. You can manage your subscription from your dashboard, upgrade when you need more cover, or cancel at any time. A cancelled plan remains active until the end of its paid billing period.
