SOME COMMON WORDPRESS TASKS
This list contains a number of individual tasks that I commonly perform in my work on client sites. These feel like the average time I spend fully committed to a given task, although most tasks can grow unpredictably in complexity if something unusual crops up.
- Log in and update WordPress: 2 minutes
- Install a plugin/solve a problem that revolves around a plugin install (e.g. Akismet for comment spam): 5 minutes
- Set up a domain-specific email account or email forward: 5 minutes
- Login to a site and change a post’s contents, rearrange the site nav menu, etc.: 5 minutes
- Help restore a client’s admin credentials, add a user, etc.: 5 minutes
- Most individual CSS changes (change the color of an object, change a font, reposition an object and give it a shadow): 5 to 25 minutes
- Create a Twitter account for a client: 10 minutes
- Install WordPress on a given hosting account (including database creation): some passive FTP transfer time, plus 15 minutes active work
- Update WordPress and all plugins, test to make sure nothing’s broken: 10 to 45 minutes
- Use a plugin’s interface to create what it’s designed to create (a contact form, a social button bar, etc.): 10 to 30 minutes
- Purchase hosting and prepare it for a WordPress install (set up username and password, FTP credentials, etc.): 15 minutes
- Migrate a WP site using a plugin, start-to-finish and including testing: 15 minutes
- Troubleshoot a hosting/registrar/backend problem (improperly set memory limits, bad .htaccess rules, wrong DNS, etc.): 15 minutes to 1 hour
- Create a Facebook page for a client: 20 minutes
- Read an emailed bug report, locate an obvious problem in PHP or JS code, fix the problem, upload the fix, test the fix, email about the fix: 20 to 45 minutes
- Purchase a domain name and hosting and create a fresh WordPress install at the targeted domain name: 30 to 45 minutes
- Track down and fix a non-obvious problem in a WordPress site’s code: 30 minutes to 5 hours for most problems
- Migrate a WP site manually, start-to-finish and including testing: 1 hour
