What’s the most frustrating part of managing existing WordPress sites?
Anyone else feel like modern WordPress work is mostly maintaining existing sites now?
Most projects I work on aren’t “build from scratch” anymore.
It’s usually:
- fixing WooCommerce issues
- updating existing client sites
- testing plugin/theme changes
- debugging conflicts
- trying to deploy safely without breaking production
We kept hitting this problem repeatedly while working on WordPress projects, especially with client sites.
Curious how other developers/agencies are handling these workflows right now?
