is $230 a fair price to upgrade wordpress?
 

I need to upgrse my wordpress and I was quoted a price of $230. is that good or high?
I thought it wouldbe like $150.

I did it myself once and it was a nightmare so I want a pro to do it, but hows that price?

lol Ill do it for 100.00 :1orglaugh

Ill do wordpress upgrades for 100.00 all day long as a matter of fact. lol

this is a joke right?

I'll do it for $50.

I'll do it for £99.99

Okay the above price is now on sale price, will do it for £24 ($48)

get your host to install fantastico or installatron then it's only one click.

unless this is a joke.

Come on I wanna make 100 for 3 minutes of work please.... :winkwink:

Are you kidding BCyber in tampa does it for like $10.00

Sorry, you missed the sale price, it has gone back up.... now its $99.99

99.50 is my offer now lol

99.49 - okay I can do better

lol wow. ask your host to do it for you for free.

ill do it for free but will need root access on the server

hit me up

I will do it for free too

*Plus $99.99 for miscellaneous expenses

Your host will probably do it for free.

This is like price is right

Nice to see you, to see you nice!

Okay, I got work to do now, so I am going to say that I am out.

Good luck to the rest of you in securing this multi-penny deal.

If your FTP set-up prevents it from being automatic, around $30 is a fairly common price for one manual upgrade, with just a few bucks additional for each additional install. Many hosts will do it for free (You probably got that from this thread already.), although I prefer to hit my host up just on the hard stuff. You might just tell your host you want to do the automatic upgrades on WordPress and ask if they can set your FTP for that domain to allow you to do so. Upgrading WordPress is much much much easier now than it was in earlier version though, so you may want to take another stab at doing it yourself. Hope this helps.

uh, yeah. $235 dollars.

Any decent host will do it for you for free, and if they don't then they are crooks.:2 cents:

Only if he has a managed server.

If the host allows WP, why would the host care if it's managed or not?

That would be a pretty crappy host to force a novice person to setup code on a shared box.

Sounds about right, everyone else who says that it's worth $5 or free, obviously has never had a nightmare wordpress upgrade... it's pretty rare, but it's possible for the db to get corrupted in the upgrade, there could be a plug in incompatibility or some other fuckup... if you hire the $5 guy, and something goes wrong, it's likely your blog will not only be down for hours, but could also cost you an arm and a leg to repair... :2 cents:

seriously though, if you can't even upgrade wordpress on your own, you're in the wrong field

better get the lube ready, your definitely getting raped for that price :1orglaugh

fuckin newbie

Yeah, because the $20/mo they pay for shared hosting more than pays for the host's time, even if it is basically just ncftpput, upgrade.

I'm sure this question above involves MAJOR REVISION CHANGES between WordPress. If this involves making/changing plugins from 1.5.x to 2.7.$TODAY, $250 isn't that bad - if it's just for a simple minor upgrade/bump, that's highway robbery.

exactly..

235 i way to high, do you have special custom mods?

20 to 40 bucks

Hog Wash...any decent host will do this for you and as I said if they don't then they are the wrong host to be with.

:2 cents::2 cents:

To add or upgrade WP takes longer to upload than it does to install and setup. If it's already on my box, it takes 3 minutes to setup, less than 1 minute to upgrade old WP copies, now it's seconds.

Heck, you can find youtube videos that are less than 10 minutes long that walk you through the entire setup, setting up the db, admin, and setting up plugins.


You can go setup a blogger account, get a domain for free if you move it over to a host, then change it out with a WP blog, and you don't spend a dime. That's how simple it is.

I will do for 299$ ;) just hit me

Who is the genius that want to charge that amount?

9.99$ over here lol

Follow the script at the top of wordpress admin?

Only if you buy CyberSEO Suite with it :winkwink:

from which version to which one ?

Bump to help Mr Too Gay AKA Teh Ghey with his wordpress install

My two pence are that you back up what you have, WP files using ftp and the DB using phpMyadmin and then try and do the upgrade yourself.... if i goes wrong then you got the back ups.

Ciao

one-click nowadays..

I do them for $5.

I'd do it for around 30, 230 is way too high man.

Because managed means "we will watch your server" and your paying for the privilege. They will charge you an incident fee if you are running unmanaged servers. :2 cents:

lol.. charging that for something that can be done with one click and takes just 5 secs...

That was what I was thinking. 1.5 to 2.8 or something. With all the plugins a person can have and they may have other customizations. 1.5 is not a just click to upgrade version of wordpress. It is nice to see GFY still has a ton of Newbies that don't think before they make smart ass comments.

I will pay you $50 if you give me the honors of upgrading your wordpress!

way too high, i wouldnt even bother with upgrades myself because its too low of a job to be worth while
