Five-Minute-Fix™
… and it’s free!
The five minutes is purely subjective and completely based on my personal opinion. If I believe a project should take five minutes then that is how long the project will take. If it takes five hours, or five days, the cost will still be the same: free!

Some common Five-Minute-Fix™ items you may need help with:
- CSS minor adjustments
- WordPress theme code minor changes
- (X)HTML minor adjustments
This list is by no means exhaustive but merely a few examples of issues we have addressed with our Five-Minute-Fix™ services. Another example: a component of our Multi (child) theme was a Five-Minute-Fix™ that ran over five hours!
We believe a project that will take longer than five minutes deserves a fair and reasonable discussion of its scope. We are happy to review any reasonable request; and, we will make every effort to respond to all serious inquiries in a timely fashion. In turn, we expect our responses to receive the same respect and attention.
Obvious precedence will be given to those Five-Minute-Fix™ items that arise from a concern with one of our WordPress themes or one of our WordPress plugins we have developed but we will also be more than happy to review other WordPress themes and other WordPress plugins.
Feel free to look over our profile at WordPress.org to see our recent activities, including our ongoing involvement with the WordPress Support Forums.

Hi, I have been having some issues with our site being really slow to load. I checked with my hosting account and they said, from the diagnostics they ran, it is most likely an issue with the theme and its load time. I’ve since updated the theme to the most current version of the theme. that didn’t help.
When I’m on one page within the site for more than about a minute, you can see that the page is constantly trying to reload. I’m sure this is part of my issue with the site loading slowly.
What can I do to make things load faster or is there something in theme I can do to help??
Thanks
@amy – There is nothing in the Desk Mess Mirrored theme that would cause such a significant delay in your site loading. Therefore I would look at the plugins you are using on your site. For example, you appear to be using Google Analytics (not part of the theme) and that script is loading in the header whereas it should load in the footer. Changing that one thing alone may provide you with significant improvements with load time. I would also recommend reviewing any other plugins that may possibly be configured incorrectly.
I’ve installed Desk Mess Mirrored with the Multi child theme and like the whole thing very much. Problem is, I don’t have a yellow “sticky note” for the BLOG, and I can’t switch back from any of the pages I’ve created. I’ve tried messing around with the pages and the menus, uninstalling and reinstalling. What am I missing? Can you help me? Thanks. Jim Treganza
@Jim – I see you are still using Multi, thank you! Now, working from a “default” installation, you appear to have written two posts (or edited one and written a new one) and have edited the sample page. After many requests the theme no longer has a “Home” sticky note (read: top menu item), just create a Custom menu link item and use your domain as the link. This will create a “Home” or BLOG link. Then assign this “new” menu to the top menu location. You can then add pages or other items as you see fit, or check the box to automatically add new pages to the menu … your call. As to being able to “switch back” by default you simply need to click on the middle graphic’s text as that will always be a link back to your site’s home page.
@Mary – Depending on the theme and how the comment form has been implemented the solution may vary, but if the theme has implemented comments using the `comment_form` function this page in the codex may be useful as a starting point.
