502 error fix and website updates required.

1. Immediate Tasks — Fix the Website Outage

Please investigate and resolve the root cause of the 502 error. This may involve:

Checking the hosting server (PHP version, memory limits, resource usage, logs)

Verifying that the WordPress installation loads without timeout or gateway errors

Reviewing the .htaccess file for corruption

Checking for plugin or theme conflicts that may be causing the failure

Ensuring the database is accessible and not corrupted

Restarting or adjusting server services (PHP-FPM, Nginx/Apache) if applicable

Please restore the site to working order as soon as possible.

2. WordPress Updates & Modernization

Once the site is operational, I’d like the following updates completed:

Core & Security Maintenance

Update WordPress core to the latest stable version

Update all plugins and themes

Remove unused plugins/themes

Ensure security patches are applied

Implement a backup solution (if not already in place)

Confirm compatibility with current PHP version

Check for broken links or outdated content
