I used to build, host and manage Wordpress sites for a bunch of small businesses. Even though I stopped offering that service years ago, I continued to host a number of sites as a gesture of goodwill.
Recently, I decided that I was paying way too much for the hosting and so decided to migrate...
This is where I entered the doors to hell.
The sites are running on old wordpress and PHP versions and are brimming with plugins I used to smooth over gaps in my programming knowledge.
I cannot migrate the sites to a new server without first upgrading their wordpress/PHP versions. The problem is, when I do that, the sites break due to a host of unknown errors.
It's actually comical at this point
I feel like it's karma for cutting corners and not maintaining those sites correctly over the years.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. Maybe it'll give someone a good laugh haha
