We prepare a clear, technically detailed bug report for a plugin vendor — steps to reproduce, environment details, relevant logs — since vendor support teams typically triage and prioritise a well-documented report far faster than a vague description of unexpected behaviour.
Plugin vendor bug report preparation
A bug report prepared for a plugin vendor with the reproduction detail their support team needs.
- Full backup taken before we start
- If we can’t fix it, you get your money back
- We never ask for your own password
What we need from you
- A clear description of the bug you’re experiencing
- Access sufficient to reproduce and document the issue
- Your plugin licence or support access details, if applicable
This or something else?
| You want a technically detailed bug report prepared and submitted to a plugin vendor | This fix covers it |
| The bug is something we can work around or fix directly, without needing the vendor | The relevant direct fix instead, likely faster if a workaround genuinely exists |
| You want a theme vendor support case, not a plugin vendor bug report | Theme vendor support case preparation, the theme-specific equivalent |
| You’ve lost access to your plugin licence entirely, not reporting a bug | Licence recovery & vendor account reconciliation |
What we do
- Reproduce the bug and document exact steps
- Gather relevant environment details and logs
- Write a clear, technically precise bug report
- Submit it through the vendor’s support channel
- Follow up if the vendor requests additional information
What is included
- A clear, technically detailed bug report
- Submission through the vendor’s support channel
- Follow-up if additional information is requested
- A written summary of the outcome
Not included
- Guaranteeing the vendor fixes the bug or provides a timeline, which remains their decision
- Building a custom workaround ourselves, if that’s a separate, more direct option
- Costs the vendor may charge for a fix outside your existing licence
- Ongoing communication with the vendor beyond this specific report
Questions about this fix
Why would this get a faster response than reporting it myself?
A report with precise reproduction steps and environment detail is easier for a vendor's support team to triage and act on quickly, compared to a general description of something behaving unexpectedly.
Can you guarantee the vendor fixes the bug?
No — we can prepare an excellent, actionable report, but whether and when the vendor addresses it remains entirely their decision.
What if the vendor asks for more information after we submit?
We'd follow up and provide whatever additional detail is reasonably needed to keep the report moving forward.
Is this useful if my plugin licence has already expired?
Worth confirming with the vendor directly, since many require an active licence for support — if your licence itself is the issue, that's a separate, related concern.
Would you also build a temporary workaround while waiting on the vendor?
If a genuine, direct workaround exists, that's a separate fix we can discuss doing alongside or instead of the vendor report.

If this is the second time this year
A bad update breaking the site is a symptom of updates not being tested first. Care plans run every update on a staging clone before it reaches your live site, which is the actual fix for this happening again.
Your access, your rules
Create a separate admin account for us and delete it when we are done. For anything else, we get in touch and agree a method — never a form field on this site, never by reply to an email.
We back up first, always
Before anything is touched we take a full backup and keep it for 30 days. If a fix goes wrong, we put the site back exactly as it was.
If it is not what you bought
If the problem turns out smaller than what you ordered, we refund the difference. If it is bigger, we stop and send a quote before doing any extra work.
If we cannot fix it
You get back what we received. Diagnosis is on us — you only pay when the problem is actually solved. The payment processor takes its fee before the money reaches us, so we never hold it and it is not ours to return. That is true here as everywhere else.
If it comes back
Reply within seven days of delivery and we put it back on the bench at no cost. The fix is not finished until it holds.
What we are responsible for
If something goes wrong with a fix, our responsibility is limited to what you paid for it. We take a full backup first so mistakes can be undone, and we tell you before doing anything outside what you bought.
