WordPress site transfer
There is a website on WordPress. It is old and on an old version of PHP. It is necessary to set up a new WordPress and transfer only what is needed from the old site. This includes various pages, SEO texts, FAQ, and blog.
However, there are also several forms on the old site, and these forms are made not with plugins, but simply with code. The forms have dynamically loaded fields, payment, generation and downloading of a PDF file, and sending an email.
Regarding the forms, we need to think about whether to transfer them or integrate them into a plugin. The main idea is to update all versions and clean up the clutter that has accumulated over the years.
Sorry, our server automatically updated WP to version 6.8 and PHP to 8.1, so we only need to update the plugins and remove and clean up the WordPress from unnecessary files. Ideally, improve the loading speed of the site.
Сори, у нас на сервере автоматически обновили ВП на версию 6.8 и пхп на 8.1, поэтому нужно только дообновить плагины и поудалять и почистить сам фордпрес от ненужных файлов. В идеале добавить скорости загрузки сайта.

4209 46 0 Hello! I will carefully transfer your website to the latest version of WordPress, without unnecessary clutter and preserving only the necessary content — SEO pages, blog, FAQ. I will study the forms separately: I will suggest the best way — to transfer them with minimal adjustments or to integrate them into a convenient plugin. I will update PHP and WordPress itself to ensure everything works stably, securely, and without technical debt. I will make everything clear and provide support.

310 2 1 Hello, Arthur! 👋
I fully understand the task — you want to update the WordPress site, keeping only what is truly important, getting rid of the unnecessary, and bringing everything in order, including complex forms 💡
🧩 What I propose:
🔄 1. Set up a new WordPress:
I will install a clean and up-to-date version of WordPress
I will configure a modern theme (yours or suggest several suitable options)
I will install necessary plugins (SEO, security, caching, analytics, etc.)
…
📄 2. Transfer necessary content:
SEO pages, FAQ, blog — I will manually transfer with a check of the structure and links
I will save meta-data if a plugin like Yoast / AIOSEO is used
I will set up 301 redirects from old URLs to avoid losing traffic
🧾 3. Working with forms:
Your case is atypical: forms on "clean code" with:
dynamic fields,
payment,
PDF generation,
email sending.
Options:
Integrate into the new site as is, after testing and adapting for the new PHP version
Transfer the logic into a plugin (for example, WPForms + custom code or CF7 + add-ons)
Write a separate module in PHP that integrates with WordPress but does not depend on plugins
I recommend the second option (based on a plugin) — it is convenient for further support and expansion 💡
🧹 4. Optimization:
Full site audit: database, junk records, unused media
Speed improvement: caching, image optimization, CDN (if needed)
Security check and backup setup
📌 Result:
An updated, fast, and clean site on the latest version of WP
Working forms with all functionality
User-friendly admin panel and scalability for the future
Full compliance with modern SEO and security requirements
📆 Deadline — from 5 to 10 days, depending on the number of pages and complexity of forms
💰 Cost — to be discussed after getting acquainted with the site, forms, and technical details
I am ready to discuss everything in detail, take a look at the current site and forms.
If needed — I can offer a test migration of one form or page so you can see the approach 🛠
I would be happy to be the executor of your project! 🚀

4334 105 0 1 Good afternoon, Arthur!
I have extensive experience in project support, including migrating code from PHP 7.4 to 8.3-8.4.
I can do a code review and suggest a solution on how to best handle the custom form code.

1572 34 1 Good afternoon. I would like to take a look at your website to understand what we are dealing with and to look inside the theme - to understand how all this code works and whether there will be any issues with new versions of PHP.
Regarding the forms - we need to look at that as well. I have worked with several plugins and can choose one that fits your needs and configure it if you are considering such an option.
I have over four years of experience working with the WordPress CMS, as well as popular plugins for it. I create themes from scratch based on ready designs (at the client's request - with additional functionality), but I also work with existing ones. In your case, I think the second option is more relevant.
Stack: HTML/CSS/JS (jQuery), PHP + WordPress and popular plugins for it (ACF, Elementor/WP Bakery, and others).
I will update the plugin versions and let you know if any stop working or anything else, and we will think about how to fix it. Sometimes it makes sense to keep an old version...
…
I hope my proposal interests you. Write to me, I will do it. The rate is approximate.
