How quickly can you fix my OJS error?

Most common OJS errors are resolved within 2-4 hours. We categorize issues by priority: Critical (site down, security breach): 1-2 hour response, High (major functionality broken): 2-4 hour response, Medium (minor issues, enhancements): 4-8 hour response, Low (cosmetic, non-urgent): 24 hour response.

Do you offer emergency support outside business hours?

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency support for critical issues affecting journal operations including journal completely inaccessible, security breaches or hacking attempts, data loss or corruption, and submission deadlines at risk. Emergency support rates are 1.5x regular rates.

What information do you need to fix OJS errors?

To efficiently resolve OJS issues, we typically need FTP/SFTP access to your server, database access credentials, exact error message or screenshot, steps to reproduce the issue, and recent changes made to the system. We provide a secure checklist for sharing credentials safely.

Can you help with plugin compatibility issues?

Absolutely. We specialize in resolving plugin compatibility issues including plugin conflicts after OJS updates, custom plugin development and debugging, performance optimization for slow plugins, and alternative plugin recommendations. We test plugins in a staging environment before deploying to production.

What's included in monthly maintenance?

Monthly OJS maintenance includes weekly security updates and patches, daily backup verification, performance monitoring and optimization, email system checks, up to 2 hours of support requests, and monthly performance report.
