I’m launching a WordPress-based community centered on manhwa and manga, and the heart of the site will be active forum discussions. I need someone who can set up, style, and optimise the forum component so members can debate chapters, share artwork, and stay engaged. Core forum features I must have: • User profiles so readers can show off avatars, reading lists, and bios • Robust moderation tools that let trusted staff flag, edit, or remove posts quickly • Private messaging to encourage member-to-member collaboration without cluttering public threads I don’t mind whether you use bbPress, BuddyPress, or another well-supported plugin stack—as long as it’s lightweight, secure, and easy to maintain. A clean, mobile-friendly theme that suits comic imagery is important, and everything should be configured for quick page loads even when discussions explode after new chapter drops. Deliverables: 1. Fully installed WordPress instance on my host, neatly organised with child theme in place 2. Forum set up with the three features above activated, tested, and skinned to match the site’s aesthetic 3. Basic onboarding docs (or a short Loom walkthrough) showing me how to approve users, manage roles, and perform routine updates If you’ve built similar fan or pop-culture communities before, link me a couple of live examples so I can see your approach to styling and performance. Looking forward to collaborating and getting this fandom hub online.
