# Mend — WordPress, mended.

> Mend is a productized WordPress-fix service from Champlin Enterprises. Senior engineers fix broken WordPress sites fast — most fixes the same day — on a backup-first workflow, and every fix ships with a plain-English report of the root cause and what changed. Prices are flat and agreed up front; a free diagnosis gates anything bigger, and a money-back guarantee backs every paid fix. Mend is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the WordPress Foundation or Automattic.

## What Mend fixes
WordPress emergencies and bugs: the white screen of death (WSoD), HTTP 500 internal server errors, the "There has been a critical error on this website" message, "error establishing a database connection", hacked sites and malware, being locked out of wp-admin, failed plugin/theme/core updates, plugin conflicts, broken forms and checkouts, and slow sites failing Core Web Vitals.

## WordPress problem guides
In-depth, plain-English guides to the most common WordPress problems — what causes them, how to fix them yourself, and when to get help:
- [How to Fix the WordPress White Screen of Death](https://wpmend.com/fix/wordpress-white-screen-of-death): The WordPress white screen of death (WSoD) is a blank page with no error message, served when a fatal PHP error stops your site from rendering — most often a broken plugin or theme, an exhausted PHP memory limit, or a corrupted core file.
- [There Has Been a Critical Error on This Website: What It Means and How to Fix It](https://wpmend.com/fix/wordpress-critical-error): "There has been a critical error on this website" is WordPress telling you a PHP fatal error stopped a page from loading, usually from a plugin or theme conflict, exhausted memory, or a corrupt file.
- [How to Fix the WordPress 500 Internal Server Error](https://wpmend.com/fix/wordpress-500-internal-server-error): A 500 internal server error on WordPress is a generic message that means the server hit a problem it couldn't resolve, so it stopped before loading your page.
- [How to Fix the WordPress "Error Establishing a Database Connection" Error](https://wpmend.com/fix/wordpress-database-connection-error): "Error establishing a database connection" means WordPress can't talk to the database where your site's content lives — usually because the login details in wp-config.php are wrong, the database server is down or overloaded, or the database itself is corrupted.
- [WordPress Site Hacked? Here's How to Clean It Up — Safely](https://wpmend.com/fix/wordpress-site-hacked): If your WordPress site is showing spam pages, redirecting visitors elsewhere, or triggering a Google "this site may be hacked" warning, it has almost certainly been compromised — but it's fixable, and you have not lost your site.
- [Locked Out of WordPress Admin: Why It Happens and How to Fix It](https://wpmend.com/fix/locked-out-of-wordpress-admin): If you're locked out of WordPress admin, the cause is almost always one of a few things: a forgotten or reset password, a login redirect loop from incorrect site URL settings, a corrupted .htaccess file, or a security or 2FA plugin misbehaving.
- [WordPress Site Broke After an Update? Here's What Happened and How to Fix It](https://wpmend.com/fix/wordpress-broke-after-update): When a WordPress site breaks right after an update, the cause is almost always a conflict: the plugin, theme, or core version you just updated no longer plays nicely with something else on your site, or it expects a newer (or older) PHP version than your host runs.
- [Speed Up WordPress: Why Your Site Is Slow and How to Fix It](https://wpmend.com/fix/speed-up-wordpress): Most WordPress sites are slow for a handful of predictable reasons: no caching, oversized images, too many heavy plugins, and a host or PHP version that can't keep up.

## How it works
1. Tell us what's wrong (pick a fix or ask for a free diagnosis). Your account is created and you're signed in instantly — passwordless.
2. A senior engineer confirms the root cause, usually within the hour, and the flat price is agreed before any work.
3. We fix it backup-first, then hand you a documented report: what was wrong, what we changed, and how to prevent a repeat.
