Vent: lost $800 on a 'quick' WordPress fix that turned into 3 weeks of hell
Client said it was just a plugin update, but the site had 47 plugins and no backup, so I ended up rebuilding half the theme. They ghosted me after I sent the invoice and only paid $200 of the $1,000 I quoted. Now I ask for 50% upfront before I even log into their dashboard, has anyone else had luck with that rule?

47 plugins and no backup" sounds like every site I've ever touched, that part isn't really a horror story, it's just Tuesday. The 50% upfront thing seems like overkill for a simple plugin job, most clients would balk at that.
