AI-generated code

Is code written by ChatGPT or Claude safe to run on WordPress?

Often it works, and that is the trap. AI writes code that passes your first test but skips what keeps a site safe and running: security checks on every form, safe output, compatibility with the PHP version your host moves to next, and behaviour that survives the next plugin update. We review it line by line, report what we find at a fixed price, and fix it before it reaches your live site.

  • Nonce and capability checks on every action
  • Input sanitized, output escaped
  • PHP 8.1 to 8.5 compatible, no deprecated calls
  • No slow queries inside loops
  • Hooks and filters, never edits to another plugin's files
  • Tested on a staging copy before it goes live

Honest comparison

AI on its own, or AI plus a review?

AI is a fine way to sketch an idea. Before it runs your business, have someone accountable check it.

How it works

How does a review or a fix work?

The same four steps whether it is one snippet, a whole plugin or a broken site.

  1. Tell us what you have

    Send the code, the plugin name or access to a staging copy. A senior engineer reads every enquiry, usually the same day Monday to Friday.

  2. Get a written report and a fixed price

    We tell you what is wrong, what it risks and what the fix costs before any work starts.

  3. We fix and test on staging

    Every change is made and tested on a copy of your site, then handed over in your repository with notes.

  4. Keep it looked after

    Optional: a care plan keeps the code updated and monitored, so it keeps working after WordPress and PHP move on.

Our engineering standard

What does production-ready mean to us?

The checklist every line of code we write, fix or review is held to.

WordPress Coding Standards

Code that follows WordPress's own rules, so any competent developer can read and extend it.

Security by default

Nonces, capability checks, sanitized input and escaped output on every request, not only the ones we remember.

PHP 8.1 to 8.5

Tested across the PHP versions hosts run today and the ones they move to next. No deprecation notices.

Built for big sites

Paginated queries, indexes and caching, so a list that works with 20 rows still works with 20,000.

Update-safe changes

We change plugins through hooks and filters, never by editing their files, so your changes survive every update.

Staging first, your repository

Nothing is tested on your live site, and the code is yours: delivered to your repository with notes.

Questions about working with us

Can you work on a plugin or theme someone else built?
Yes. Most of our work is on code we did not write: plugins from other vendors, freelancer builds and AI-generated code. We read it first, tell you what we find, then change it through hooks and filters so your changes survive the vendor's updates.
Do you edit plugin files directly?
No. Editing another plugin's files means the next update wipes your changes. We extend plugins through their hooks and filters, or in a small companion plugin, so updates stay safe.
My site is hacked or showing a critical error. How fast can you help?
Send the details through the form or the help page. A senior engineer reads every enquiry, usually the same day Monday to Friday, and care plan clients get priority. We clean the site, find how it happened and close that hole.
How much does a code review or a fix cost?
You get a written report and a fixed price before any work starts, usually within 48 hours. Care plans start at $99 per site per month, and a 30-minute call to scope the work is free.
Who owns the code you write?
You do. We deliver it to your repository with notes, and nothing we build locks you into us.
Who is behind Tweaks WP?
Tweaks WP is run by Wbcom Designs, a WordPress engineering company building since 2013, with 600+ client projects and 100+ plugins, themes and SaaS products of its own.
