Overview

Project Overview

Recovered and optimized a WordPress coffee shop website after migration-related technical issues. The project involved restoring the website to a stable, fully functional state by resolving plugin conflicts, repairing WordPress functionality, rebuilding customer-facing features, and improving the overall user experience. The final result is a responsive coffee shop website with a working homepage, interactive ordering functionality, and a smoother customer experience.

Highlights

Key Features

Restored Ordering Popup

Rebuilt the WPForms + Popup Maker ordering flow so customers can pick a menu item, quantity, and submit their order in a single popup.

Rebuilt Homepage Layout

Repaired the Elementor homepage structure — hero banner, branding, and navigation — that broke during the migration.

Responsive Menu & Layout

Verified and tuned the menu section and homepage across desktop, tablet, and mobile so the ordering flow stays one tap away.

Engineering

Technical Challenges Solved

Real problems hit during the build — and how each one was diagnosed and resolved.

Problem

Website migration failed and left the site partially unusable.

How I solved it

Diagnosed the failed migration step by step, comparing the source and destination environments, and rebuilt the missing pieces of the site instead of starting over.

Problem

Database import errors broke the WordPress dashboard connection.

How I solved it

Repaired the database connection, re-imported the database cleanly, and confirmed the dashboard and all content tables were reachable again.

Problem

Hosting and DNS configuration issues after the move.

How I solved it

Reconfigured hosting settings and verified DNS/domain pointing so the site loaded reliably from the new environment.

Problem

Plugin conflicts and corrupted installs broke core functionality.

How I solved it

Removed the corrupted plugin files and cleanly reinstalled Elementor, WPForms, and Popup Maker, restoring the homepage and ordering popup.

Problem

Homepage and mobile layout were rendering incorrectly.

How I solved it

Rebuilt the Elementor sections and tested breakpoints on real devices until navigation, hero, and menu content reflowed cleanly.

Problem

Slow load times and unoptimized assets.

How I solved it

Compressed images, trimmed unused plugin overhead, and streamlined page assets to improve load performance across the site.
