General Questions

Click your chosen plan and then complete checkout. You will need to fill out a form providing both WP admin and FTP credentials for the sites you want to add.

Once we receive this information, one of our happiness engineers will log into the site to install our plugins and get the site connected to our remote maintenance system.

We’ll also run a quick test of the off-site backup system and make sure the security scans are running. If there are any outstanding core or plugin updates, we’ll perform those as well.

We prioritize activating new sites, so this should be done within a few hours of you completing the process. Keep in mind, if your site is especially large or the connection to your server is exceptionally slow, it could take a bit longer.

We can perform host migrations for a one-time cost of $197. That said, many hosts have tools that will allow you to do this very quickly and easily with no additional cost and some even offer free migrations. We would recommend contacting the host you’re looking to switch to and your existing host to see what options are available.

To cancel a site, you just need to send us an email letting us know which site. Pure Bliss Digital services work on a 30-day rolling subscription plan basis for cancellation invoices. Your cancellation will be effective for the next 30-day cycle.

Our team of happiness engineers is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days and week, 365 days a year. We strive to complete all tasks within 8 hours but we usually get them done much faster!

Our maintenance service runs during business hours, Monday-Friday.

Pure Bliss Digital provides Maintenance and Unlimited Content Edits for WordPress multisite on a case by case basis.

Here’s how it works and the transparency behind how it is different:

The main domain requires a Maintenance Plan to have updates, backups, and security performed. The updates performed on the main domain impact any/all sites in the network, so there is a chance that a plugin update could cause issues on a subsite that we would not be able to detect.

For this reason, we generally don’t recommend our service for multisite.

If you’re comfortable with us applying updates on the subsites but not having the visual check, you would need a Maintenance Plan subscription for the main site, and then an Unlimited Content Edits Plan for each subsite that requires ongoing content edits.

Basic Plan Questions

Yes! You can exclude plugins from being updated in the Maintenance Dashboard. To do this, just navigate to the Updates tab of the Maintenance Dashboard and click the Settings button. You can then select which plugins to block or exclude from our automatic updates. This can be changed at any time.

Yes! You can keep your currently installed plugins. If there is a question regarding licensing of these plugins or any updates along the way, our team will reach out to you.
Our team does not communicate with hosting providers. If there is an issue with the hosting provider, we will reach out to you and let you know if there is something needed from the host in order for us to be able to deliver our service.

WordPress rolls out core updates in various stages and we assess what needs to be updated and when.

If it is a major update, we will wait 10-14 days until the WordPress development team has worked out all the bugs to help ensure it won’t have a negative impact on your websites.

We provide daily security scans and if malware is detected, it will be removed and we’ll let you know about it.

The WordPress core and plugin updates also protect your website by keeping your software on the latest version. Your website is constantly being monitored with WordPress security alerts and if there is a vulnerable plugin on your website, it will be updated as soon as the patch is available. MalCare automatically blocks malicious traffic with real-time protection.

Visual Validator is our tool that uses visual regression to ensure plugin updates don’t cause visual problems on your site. 

How it works:

  1. Visual Validator takes screenshots of up to 20 pages of your site.
  2. Updates are applied.
  3. Visual Validator takes new screenshots and compares them to see if anything looks different.
  4. If changes are detected, our happiness engineers are alerted and will resolve the issue.

Our update process lets you pick and choose which updates to run. So if needed, we can exclude problematic updates from the process. You also have to ability to choose specific pages for Visual Validator to check.

The Maintenance Plan includes:

  • WordPress core and plugin updates with Visual Validator.
  • Security monitoring and malware cleanup.
  • 90 days of reliable, off-site backups.
  • Maintenance dashboard plugin.

If an update fails and/or Visual Validator detects a visual discrepancy as a result of a plugin update, we’ll research why, and contact you to help fix it.

Visual Validator does not detect if a functionality is impacted by a plugin update. If you notice a functionality issue the has occurred as a result of a plugin update, let us know. We’ll research why and help to fix it.

Yes, we install our Maintenance Dashboard plugin on each site.

The Maintenance Dashboard is visible in the site Admin Panel and gives complete visibility on the updates, backups and security scans we provide.

Yes, we offer monthly maintenance reports for each site. These reports highlight all the maintenance work that’s been going on behind the scenes and give a general health report of the site. If you’d like to receive these monthly reports, just let us know!

Our maintenance service runs during business hours Monday through Friday. This way, if an update causes your website to crash, we’re alerted immediately and able to fix it immediately.

We are not an emergency support service. If your website crashes outside of our maintenance hours, it is likely due to something outside of our control, for example, an issue with the hosting service. That being said, if your website is still down once our maintenance service starts up for the day we will catch that and go in to take a look and let you know what next steps to take.

Premium Plan Questions

No. Only live websites with a host and domain are eligible for The Unlimited Content Edits Plan.

If you’d like help building out a website, please reach out to us for more information.

While our 24/7 team is available at all times for content edits and admin panel changes, we are not an emergency support service. Requests are handled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Our Jump the Line service offers priority service With Jump the Line, anytime you submit a content edit request, it automatically jumps to the front of the queue — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Websites covered by our Unlimited Content Edits plan must be live sites.

Yes. Our happiness engineers need to know that the sites they are working on are up to date and have reliable backups. Because of this, the Unlimited Content Edits Plan includes the Maintenance Plan service.

When we say unlimited content edits, we mean it! You can send in as many requests as you’d like. Remember that a content edit is anything that takes 30 minutes or less to resolve and can generally be handled within the admin panel of your WordPress website.

We’re able to do this because we have a team of happiness engineers dedicated to doing only this — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We can resolve most tasks very quickly since we often see similar issues across hundreds of sites. And while some customers send more support requests than others, the average number of tasks per customer is very manageable.

Pure Bliss Digital is not an emergency service provider.

All of our content edit requests are handled in the order they are received.

We typically handle requests in under 8 hours unless they need to be escalated or there are further questions.

An example of an urgent request is:

“URGENT! My WooCommerce shop link is not working on a specific product! Please fix this immediately!”

Because we are not an emergency service provider, this type of request would fall into the content edit request queue and be resolved within 8 hours by our team.

If you find you are often in need of urgent requests, you may want to consider our Jump the Line service, which gives you instant VIP status in the queue. Anytime you submit a support request it automatically jumps to the front of the queue — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Whenever we receive a request, the happiness engineers evaluate it to make sure it fits within our scope of service.

If we think a task will take more than 30 minutes, we’ll provide a quote for approval.

Occasionally there are requests that our happiness engineers cannot do because it falls completely outside our scope of service. Once we troubleshoot the issue, we’ll let you know what your best options are.
