Dear god, it's not anyone else's fault her website has been down for weeks and her technical support is getting nowhere "tinkering" with it. Pay your own way Jack!

If recipe writing is your job then bleeping sell them you bleeping shameless grifter/on line beggar.
If her website has so many "gremlins" that have been plaguing her for literally years at this point and necessitates an, in her own words "expensive repair job"... wouldn't it just be easier to start again? It was only a recipe blog after all, hardly something impossible to recreate a basic form of fairly quickly.
Whatever the explanation, Jack had already thought of it.
Bring me the head of the person who needs costing on a pinch of salt.
That ain't hummus, that is offensive to hummus.
It looks like gone off satay sauce.
I think website repair Jack is the hill I’m prepared to die upon.
I’ve asked one of our Devs at work about Jack’s website and what could be causing the issues, he reckons it’s some minor background issue with code going on and would take him a very short amount of time to fix. My bet is that Jack refuses to pay for any sort of help, insisting she can do it herself and it means she can rattle the tip jar in the process.
The fact the squigs not only believe it but are offering to help pay for it is astounding. And like someone above said, if it’s THAT bad, start again.

I think her little gremlin is she can’t enable ads. It makes her squirm that people can look stuff up for free.
But what about the crack team who were working round the clock over the festive to fix a blog page?!
I've been pondering on the website thing a bit today.
It's a Wordpress-hosted site, and one where Jack owns the domain. Not to
but have done my fair share of Wordpressing over the years, and the support is generally great, but typically it's so intuitive that you don't really need to get to the point of requiring a "technician". As @BeautifulTrauma says, even coding Wordpress isn't complex.
Every Wordpress site has an automatic database in which everything on your site is stored; if it's corrupted, then you do risk losing everything, which is why you're encouraged to back-up. Launching a site from backup is not that hard. If she's got a technician on it, and has been backing up regularly, it shouldn't be a problem. If she's running a 2018 back-up, that suggests to me that she's not backed up properly since 2018, or that her back-up files have been corrupted. 2019-2022 are missing (are there that many recipes?).
She has clearly been having a considerable amount of trouble with this. As @CabalofBolorneaise points out then surely the simplest method of solving this is to create a new site (again, so easy on Wordpress). She wouldn't even have to take down the current iteration. She could build the new version offline, then launch at a later date when it's ready, and just transer the domain. Potentially time-consuming, but in no way difficult.
So riddle me this, cable, because I'm getting nowhere with the mental gymnastics: how the duck has she managed to not sort this when she's hosted on a platform literally designed to make blogging easier for ninnies, with the clearest solution ever?

Maybe I'm doing freezers wrong but I've always found that they make things wetter as they defrost, and therefore runnier not claggier.
Sorry to anyone who's eating, none of those descriptors belong anywhere near food.

She's posting the recipes on Patreon and also posting them for free on Twitter and Instagram? What?
That was my thinking, but you can get ads from day 1 on Wordpress! Make it make sense!

Seriously though, as with anything with Jack there will be a grain of truth somewhere with it all but she’s exaggerating for attention. There is no crack team over Christmas fixing a Wordpress site, Jack’s probably not done a backup and then it’s been attacked from somewhere because the thing is full of ads and shite. This is the problem with Jack, nearly everything she says is a lie.
