FIX THE LINKS Project Overview: I run a localized US service business with a WordPress site hosted on Cloudways. The site was put together ad-hoc and has technical issues: broken internal/city links, hidden template pages floating around, plugin bloat, and jagged layout movements on mobile/tablet headers. I need a sharp, independent US-based WordPress developer to execute a complete technical diagnostic audit and cleanup roadmap. This contract is strictly for Phase 1: The Technical Diagnostic & Structural Audit. Scope of Work for Phase 1: 1. Run a technical crawl to map all 404 errors, broken city links, and local directory routing loops. 2. Identify all hidden, legacy, or orphan demo pages left over from the WordPress theme template that need to be purged from indexation. 3. Audit the active plugins list to identify database bloat, core conflicts, and unnecessary scripts slowing down the server. 4. Diagnose layout shifts (CLS) on desktop, tablet, and mobile viewports to provide the exact CSS/JS fixes needed for smooth HTML5 rendering. 5. Deliver a line-item, written technical roadmap detailing the exact code repairs, plugin removals, and local schema adjustments required for implementation. Strict Deliverable Constraint (Anti-Automation Rule): Do not apply if you intend to just run a standard automated scanning tool (Lighthouse, SEMrush, etc.) and hand me a generic, auto-generated PDF report. The deliverable for this milestone must be a manually compiled, line-item document or spreadsheet diagnosing my specific site files and database. Auto-generated tool reports will result in immediate milestone rejection. Future Potential: This initial phase functions as a direct test of your technical precision and thoroughness. If you successfully capture every structural error and deliver an airtight diagnostic roadmap, you will be retained directly for the subsequent execution work. The website is continuously evolving with new regional and localized initiatives, and the right technical partner will secure ongoing project contracts to handle these developments. Contract Terms: This is a strict fixed-price milestone of $150.00 for the manual Phase 1 diagnostic report and roadmap only. Agencies and white-label firms will be instantly declined—I am only hiring an independent, solo developer. I am a small business and ONLY support other small business. I have also been a freelancer for 20 years so I will only support the actual grind. To prove you are a human who read this entire posting, you must start your application with the exact phrase "FIX THE LINKS". If those words are not the very first line of your proposal, your bid will be archived automatically without a review.

I am a low-tech grandma environmentalist who decided to try my hand at building a small website where nature lovers can download a free personalized certificate in honor of nature. I was told by my hosting company Porkbun that even someone like me would be able to do it with their WordPress Extendify tool. I've been able to do a tolerable job with most of the website but it turns out that the certificate portion is too hard for me, even with their tool. Below is the wording Porkbun advised me to say the certificate process entails, and also there are three small changes needed on the site that I can't do. Porkbun says everything I need is standard WordPress work that can be done within a day. I need an experienced WordPress developer who is extremely trustworthy, has a secure device, and has patience (maybe I should say a sense of humor) regarding an elderly low-tech person. Porkbun's wording for certificate portion of job: "You need a simple page where users enter a Name and Date. Upon clicking submit, it must generate an instant downloadable portrait PDF certificate using your custom nature background image and short wording." And unless their wording automatically assumes it, I would like users to see at least a sample certificate so they trust what they're entering a Name and Date into.

Seeking a Shopify admin to assist with transitioning from a WordPress website to a Shopify website.

Project type: Small fixed-scope technical SEO project to start. We run a B2B SaaS website on WordPress. The theme is Divi, but parts of the site are built in custom/hand-coded HTML, so we need someone comfortable working across both, not just inside the Divi builder. We're looking for someone with real technical SEO experience plus AEO/GEO (answer-engine and generative-engine optimization) expertise. We care about how our pages get crawled, indexed, and cited by both search engines and LLMs. To start, we have three specific issues to resolve: 1. Staging site is publicly indexed. Our staging environment is showing up in search results alongside the live site. This splits ranking/citation authority and creates duplicate-content risk. It needs to be noindexed (or password-gated) and cleaned out of the index. 2. Blog index isn't fully crawlable. Only two of our blog posts are discoverable, even though several are live and indexed. The blog index is JavaScript-rendered, and our XML sitemap is only listing a fraction of the posts (the newer ones, which appear to be a different post type, are missing). We need the full blog properly exposed via sitemap/feed so every post is crawlable by search engines and LLM crawlers. We can share our initial findings to give you a head start. 3. Diagnose other indexing gaps. Beyond the blog, we want you to identify why other pages aren't being indexed and recommend fixes. You should have: Strong technical SEO background (crawling, indexing, sitemaps, Search Console) AEO/GEO experience (optimizing for AI/LLM citation, not just classic rankings) Hands-on WordPress experience, including Divi and custom-coded pages Ability to diagnose and clearly explain root causes, not just apply generic checklists To apply: Briefly describe a similar technical SEO/indexing issue you've resolved, and your experience with AEO/GEO. Please confirm you're comfortable working in both Divi and raw code.

Web Developer Needed: Simple Migration from Square to Self-Hosted WordPress Project Overview: I am looking for an experienced developer to help me "break free" from Square. Currently, my herbalist website is tethered to a main Square account I no longer use, and I need to move it to a completely independent, self-hosted WordPress site that I own and control. This is a one-time project to set up the new site and move my existing content (a small number of products and one blog post). Once the site is live, I am potentially open to discussing ongoing monthly marketing strategies, but my immediate priority is the successful migration and setup of the new site. Scope of Work: Platform Setup: Set up a clean, independent WordPress site using a budget-friendly hosting provider. I am looking for your recommendation for a reliable, low-cost host. Content Migration: Manually move my products and my one blog post from the old site to the new one. Domain: Guide me through the process of pointing my existing custom domain away from Square and to the new host. Total Independence: Ensure the new site is completely disconnected from any previous Square accounts so it cannot be "hijacked" or funneled through other accounts. SEO Foundation: Ensure the site is set up correctly for basic SEO so I can grow my traffic over time. Requirements & Budget: Budget-First Mindset: I am a small business owner. I am looking for a setup that keeps monthly overhead extremely low (standard shared hosting + free WordPress/WooCommerce). Please do not propose expensive "managed" enterprise-level plans. Communication: I need someone who can explain technical steps clearly so I can manage the site myself afterward. Experience: Please provide examples of previous website work. Potential for Future Work: While this is a one-time migration job, I am open to hiring someone for ongoing monthly marketing strategy if the migration goes well and we are a good fit. To Apply: Please answer the following: Have you performed migrations from Square to WordPress before? What is your recommended approach for keeping hosting costs low for a small business? What is your estimated timeline for a migration of this size (a small shop with one blog post)?

Several years ago I hired a consultant to redo my Wordpress site. He changes the admin email to his own, and since WP Mail SMTP isn't properly configured I haven't been receiving emails or form handler messes for a while. I also want to remove hi email address and add my own, but the email handler inside Wordpress isn't working apparently. I cannot make the admin change needed since I am not receiving the confirmation email. # Project Brief: Fix WordPress Email Delivery & Complete Admin Email Change ## Site cenaclecapital.com (WordPress) ## Background We're trying to change the WordPress admin email address . The change is stuck in a "pending" state because the confirmation email WordPress sends never arrives. ## What's been diagnosed so far - The site uses **WP Mail SMTP Pro (v4.3.1)**, configured to send mail through Google/Gmail via the plugin's **One-Click Setup**. - The plugin's Email Log/error notice shows: *"One-Click Setup for Google Mailer requires authorization. Perform authorization before sending emails."* - Attempting to re-authorize returns Google's error: **"The OAuth client was not found" (Error 401: invalid_client)** — meaning Google no longer recognizes the OAuth connection behind One-Click Setup. - This is **not limited to the admin email confirmation**. The failure log also shows failed emails from **Divi** (the site's form/page builder), meaning contact form submissions and other site notifications may have been silently failing too. This could mean lost leads/inquiries and should be verified as part of the fix. ## Scope of work 1. Diagnose and fix the broken Google OAuth connection inside WP Mail SMTP Pro. 2. **Recommended fix:** migrate from One-Click Setup to a dedicated, self-owned OAuth client created in Google Cloud Console (tied to our own Google account), so the connection isn't dependent on the plugin vendor's shared authentication service and won't break the same way again. 3. Send a live test email through WP Mail SMTP's built-in Email Test tool and confirm delivery. 4. Confirm Divi form submissions are sending and arriving correctly (test a real form submission end-to-end). 5. Complete the pending admin email changes and confirm WordPress has fully switched over (Settings → General should no longer show a pending change). 6. Briefly document what was changed (new credentials/settings, where they live) so we can maintain or troubleshoot it ourselves in the future. ## Access we'll provide - WordPress admin login - Hosting control panel access (if server-side mail logs need checking) - Access if needed to set up/use a Google Cloud Console project under our Google account (we can be present for this step if preferred, since it involves our Google login) ## Ideal freelancer - Experience specifically with **WP Mail SMTP (Pro)** - Comfortable setting up **Google Cloud Console OAuth 2.0 credentials** for Gmail API sending - Familiarity with **Divi** forms is a plus - Should be able to explain fixes in plain language, not just "fixed it" — we want to understand what broke ## Deliverables / Definition of done - [ ] Test email sends and arrives successfully - [ ] Divi contact form test submission sends and arrives successfully - [ ] Admin email change confirmed and no longer pending - [ ] Short written summary of root cause and fix - [ ] Connection no longer dependent on a shared/third-party OAuth app prone to breaking ## Estimated scope This looks like a 1–2 hour fix for someone experienced with WP Mail SMTP and Google OAuth setup — flagging here mainly to calibrate quotes, not as a hard cap. I just want the emails, form handler, etc. to work properly and for my own Gmail to be configured as the admin. The project tasks above were written using Claude.

We’re trying to connect and reliably pass lead/customer data between WordPress forms (Gravity Forms), Zapier, Zenoti, and tracking systems like GTM/Wicked Reports. The main challenges are: dynamically populating hidden fields and URL parameters ensuring tracking data persists correctly across systems troubleshooting broken Zapier automations/webhooks debugging JavaScript/GTM-based parameter passing identifying where data is being lost between platforms This is less about building simple Zapier automations and more about debugging multi-system integrations involving WordPress, Gravity Forms, GTM, APIs/webhooks, and attribution tracking.
