A plugin update
just went silent
on your leads.
Contact form, quote request, or booking form stopped delivering β no error, no warning, nothing in your inbox. We find the exact break, fix it, prove it with a real test lead, and wire a backup alert so a silent failure never costs you a customer again.
The bug that costs you money without ever throwing an error
Plugin and theme updates are the #1 cause of WordPress lead forms failing silently. The form looks fine to every visitor. Nothing tells you it's broken until a customer calls asking why nobody replied.
The visitor sees a success message. Your inbox, Slack, and CRM stay empty. No log entry anyone checks by default.
A security or SMTP plugin update changes how mail is sent, and every notification quietly drops.
JS deferral or aggressive caching breaks the nonce or endpoint the form relies on.
A stricter honeypot, reCAPTCHA, or Akismet rule update starts silently discarding legitimate submissions.
Same root cause, bigger stakes β customers paying but never getting confirmation.
If that one path breaks, there's no second channel β nothing pings you, nothing pings Slack.
From "leads are missing" to fixed and verified, same day
Send access
WP-admin login (or temporary account) and a one-line description of what's broken.
We diagnose
Debug log, active plugin list, recent update history, and a live test submission to isolate the exact break.
Fix & verify
Apply the fix, submit a real test lead, and confirm it lands in your inbox before we call it done.
Alert wired in
Optional: a backup email + Slack ping hooked directly to your form's submit event, independent of your mail server.
One price. No hourly clock. No surprise invoice.
Priced against real comps: Fiverr and WP Mantis one-off fixes run $79β$99; agency same-day services like CW Dynamic run $199+. This sits at the honest middle for a single-visit fix, with the alert layer nobody else bundles.
