WordPress shows the critical-error screen when a fatal PHP error stops a page loading, and it often locks you out of the admin too. We read the error logs and recovery-mode email, find the plugin, theme, or server change that caused it, fix it, and bring the site back without losing content.

## What you get

- Error logs and recovery-mode email read
- Faulty plugin, theme, or code fixed
- Site back online with content intact
- Every page template checked

## Estimate

Usually 1–2 hrs of developer time: about $129–$258 at $129 an hour. Booked as [developer hours](https://wpservices.com/services/wordpress-developer-hours.md); bigger blocks cost less per hour.
