Who to Contact vs What You Can Fix Yourself
A quick guide to help decide whether something is a quick self-fix or needs escalating.
You can usually fix these yourself
- A typo or wording change
- A missing or wrong image, once you have the correct file
- A page missing from the menu (see the guide on how the main menu works)
- Content stuck as a Draft that should be Published (check your role’s permissions first)
These usually need an administrator or developer
- The whole site or admin area being inaccessible
- Error messages mentioning “fatal error”, “database”, or similar technical language
- A missing feature that used to work (may be a plugin or hosting issue)
- Anything involving user accounts, roles, or permissions being changed
- Email not sending from the site (contact forms, notifications)
Before you report it
Note down exactly what you were doing when the problem happened, any error message word-for-word, and a screenshot if possible – this makes it much faster for whoever picks it up to diagnose.
Tip: When in doubt, it’s always fine to ask – better to check than to guess with something you’re not confident about.
