I need a developer who can safely rebuild my WordPress site on a staging environment, then push the refreshed design live without touching any existing URLs. My biggest SEO priority is keeping the current site structure and navigation fully intact, so permalinks, menus, and breadcrumbs must behave exactly as they do now once the redesign is published. While you work, please compare my parent theme with its child theme. I only need the functionality and custom-code differences audited and fixed—styling is fine as is. Any template overrides, hooks, or snippets that have drifted out of sync should be merged cleanly so future updates remain painless. I’m also seeing a handful of PHP fatal errors in the error_log. Track down their source (plugins, theme files, or custom functions), eliminate them, and give me a clean log when you’re done. Finally, strengthen the site’s topical clusters and internal linking. That means mapping related pages/posts, adding contextual links where gaps exist, and ensuring each cluster is easily crawled. Deliverables • Fully redesigned staging site, migrated live with no URL changes and identical navigation • Reconciled parent/child theme files – functionality & custom code confirmed working • Before/after report proving all PHP fatal errors are resolved • Internal-linking map plus list of new links added to reinforce topical clusters Acceptance criteria: every permalink resolves, no fatal errors in the log for 48 hours, and Search Console shows no new crawl issues after launch. Yoast/RankMath, WP-CLI, and standard backup tools are available on the server to streamline your workflow.

Hello, I can see the real risk here isn’t the redesign itself , it’s preserving every URL, breadcrumb, and navigation path while the site gets refreshed. That’s exactly the kind of WordPress work I handle carefully: rebuilding on staging, comparing parent and child theme behavior, merging only the functional differences, and keeping styling untouched where it already works. I’ve worked with WordPress, theme overrides, plugin conflicts, WP-CLI, and PHP fatal error cleanup, so I can trace the log issues back to their source and verify a clean handoff before launch. I’ll also map the internal links across your topical clusters so the site remains easy for crawlers to understand after the redesign. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. Could you share whether the staging site should be built on the same server or a separate environment, and whether you want the internal-linking changes applied manually or via a controlled content audit? Also, are the fatal errors currently tied to specific plugins or only appearing intermittently in the log? Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Best regards, Asad
