When Pods 2.0 comes out, we’ve got you covered with our Upgrade Assurance Review and Upgrade Service

by

Exact pricing is coming soon, but we’re preparing to offer upgrade assurance reviews to donors who have donated $X+ (per site) to the Pods Foundation. This is retroactive, so past donations count towards it!

To schedule your Upgrade Assurance Review or Upgrade Service, we’ll be posting a new form on our site after Pods 2.0 beta has been released. You can fill out the form and get an instant quote based on your site details. Until then, feel free to also donate now to secure your review spot in our priority list.

Upgrade Service (optional)

We are also planning on offering the actual upgrade at an additional cost (to be determined). It doesn’t matter what version of Pods you’re running – whether it’s 1.6.2 or 1.11+ – We’ll ensure your site is safely upgraded to the latest version of Pods and WordPress.

  • 1 free month of VaultPress backup service (you set it up, you click backup, we do our thing)
  • We’ll perform the Pods 2.0 Upgrade (along with a WordPress upgrade if you’d like)
  • We’ll ensure the upgrade was completed successfully and work through any minor issues that come up and provide a Database Restoration in the event of a failure

Of course, once we complete our Upgrade Assurance Review, you are free to follow the upgrade screens in Pods 2.0 on your own. We’re just here to help if you’d like us to handle / facilitate it.
