TL;DR WordPress migrations break in the first 72 hours after cutover. DNS propagates inconsistently across regions. SSL throws errors on subdomains. Stripe webhooks return 404 because the new server’s IP is not registered with the third-party. Cloudways’ March 2026 checklist…
TL;DR A supplier CSV rarely fits WooCommerce on the first try. The supplier exports their internal headers. WooCommerce reads its own 37-column structure with strict product-type enum, hierarchical category delimiter, and SKU uniqueness. Capitalization creates duplicate taxonomy terms (Blue and…
TL;DR Theme switches break because the previous theme had been carrying things nobody had cataloged: theme-bundled shortcodes, widget areas, customizer CSS, menu locations, and page-builder bundles. The new theme cannot warn you about any of it. Six places tend to…

TL;DR You open debug.log on a Tuesday afternoon. Two thousand four hundred lines. Most are deprecated-function notices from a plugin you stopped caring about three months ago. Eight are PHP fatal errors that look related. You cannot tell which plugin…
TL;DR The plugin readme is marketing copy. The PHP source is what runs. Reading both at once is the only honest way to know whether a plugin’s documented behavior matches what executes when an HTTP request reaches it. An AI…
