• Can someone give me an idea of what a fair rate to pay someone to go in and switch the files so that my domain is 1234.com instead of 1234.com/blog?

    I appreciate the links. Here is what I’m looking at. Someone was going to go in and see what was involved and quote me. However while going in and seeing what’s involved, the screwed something up. Denied touching anything saying wordpress is unstable and a coincidence but could have a buddy fix it for $150. I never gave him the go ahead but he had his buddy fix it anyway. Now he’s invoicing me for $150 which just seems crazy.

    We generally don’t talk about the money stuff here.

    If people want to hire someone, they go to https://jobs.wordpress.net or https://codepoet.com and deal with the prices there.

    Your issue is not the price, but that someone made the change BEFORE you agreed to the price etc.

    1) Change your site passwords so they can’t get in.
    2) Tell them “I asked for a quote, NOT for you to do it, I am under no legal obligation to pay you.”

    (Also stop making multiple posts about this. You have this topic, stick to it. I’ve deleted/closed your duplicates)

    Ipstenu,
    Thanks for the reply and the notification on the money thing. I’m new obviously. I did change my FTP and wordpress passwords. I’ll check out the links you provided as I would to pay him the going rate for something like that and not be raked over the coals.

    The fairness of prices is really subjective and hard to nail down. It could be as easy as 2 minutes to move your blog, or as hard as a week, depending on how messed up your install was in the first place. Without knowing all the work that was done, no one can possibly judge if that price was fair or not.
