I run a professional training institute. My current WordPress site has accumulated technical issues over the years — broken pages, white-screen errors after login, thousands of spam user accounts, and outdated plugins. Rather than cleaning up the existing installation, I want to: Move the current site to a subdomain (e.g., old.[domain]) as an archive Build a clean fresh installation on the primary domain with WordPress + WPLMS, professionally secured and optimized The site uses WPLMS theme + plugin, Vimeo for video, WooCommerce + PayPal for payments, Zoom for live training, and Mailchimp for email. I will provide all licenses. I will handle design customization, course building, and content myself after handoff. Your job is to deliver a clean, secure, optimized foundation. I am open to your professional recommendations. To Filter Spam Bids Begin your proposal with the word "GRID". Generic copy-paste proposals will be ignored. In your bid include: The word "GRID" as the first word 2–3 sentences explaining your fit URLs of LMS sites you've worked on — WPLMS preferred; LearnDash, LifterLMS, or Tutor LMS also acceptable. LMS experience is required. URLs of other WordPress sites Your fixed bid and timeline Any clarifying questions Bids missing point 1 or point 3 will be ignored. Scope of Work Phase 1 — Backup & Migration to Subdomain Take a full backup (files + database) and provide me a downloadable copy before any changes Move the existing site to a subdomain with working SSL Verify subdomain loads correctly, existing logins work, content accessible Update database URLs as needed for subdomain to function Phase 2 — Fresh Install on Primary Domain Fresh WordPress install (clean database, no carryover) Install WPLMS theme + plugin (license provided) Apply functional default WPLMS configuration Install Zoom integration plugin (your recommendation) Configure WooCommerce + PayPal in test mode (production keys added by me later) Phase 3 — Security (Highest Priority) The previous site was overrun by spam registrations. The new site must have airtight registration + login flows. Core security stack: Wordfence (free) with firewall rules, IP rate-limiting, brute-force protection, admin email alerts WPS Hide Login — change /wp-admin to a custom path (I will specify) 2FA enforced on admin and instructor accounts Registration form protection: Google reCAPTCHA v3 on registration, login, password reset, comment forms (keys provided) Email verification / double opt-in (branded confirmation email) Disposable email blocking (Mailinator, TempMail, Guerrilla Mail, 10minutemail, etc.) Honeypot field on registration form Strong password requirement (8+ chars, mixed case, number) IP rate-limiting on registration (max 3 per IP per hour) Login protection: IP locked 15 min after 5 failed attempts Failed login logging with email alerts on attack patterns WordPress hardening: File editing disabled (DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT) WordPress version hidden from page source XML-RPC disabled (unless needed — confirm with me) Strong admin password + non-default username SSL active and forcing HTTPS site-wide Secure cookies enabled Database table prefix changed from default wp_ Required tests (document with screenshots in handoff report): New test account registration via real email — full flow works Disposable email registration blocked Rate-limiting blocks 5 quick registrations from same IP 6 failed logins triggers 15-min lockout Default /wp-admin no longer shows login page Admin login triggers 2FA Basic SQL injection / form fuzzing on registration — input sanitized reCAPTCHA v3 score logging visible in admin Phase 4 — Performance Optimization WP Rocket installed and configured (caching, minification, lazy loading) — license provided Cloudflare (free tier) configured — DNS routed, basic security and caching rules WP-Optimize for scheduled database cleanup UpdraftPlus for automated weekly backups (Google Drive or Dropbox — free tier) Confirm hosting runs PHP 8.1+ with 256MB+ memory Verify GZIP compression and browser caching headers active Phase 5 — Page Stubs & System Assignments No branding or design work. Just create empty pages and assign them to the correct WordPress/WPLMS/WooCommerce system roles so the site is wired up correctly. Create empty page stubs (default templates, no content): Home, Blog, About, Contact, All Courses, Live Training, Resources Privacy Policy, Terms of Service (using standard generators) System page assignments: WordPress: set Home page as static homepage; set Blog page as posts page WPLMS: assign correct pages for course archive, student dashboard, instructor dashboard, registration, login, my-account WooCommerce: run setup wizard to assign cart, checkout, my-account, shop pages Confirm primary navigation menu exists with placeholder items linking to the above pages (I will edit labels and structure later) Set permalinks to "Post name" structure Confirm working: Homepage opens and shows the static Home page (not blog by default) All course / course archive page opens and shows WPLMS catalog Registration and login pages open with reCAPTCHA active Student dashboard opens for logged-in test user Contact page opens with default contact form (Contact Form 7 or WPForms — your recommendation) Blog page opens and shows posts Phase 6 — Verification and Handoff No PHP errors in error log Admin and WPLMS dashboards functional Test student registration and login works end-to-end Vimeo embed test passes Homepage loads under 2 seconds (GTmetrix or PageSpeed Insights screenshot) Written summary report (1–2 pages): what was done, plugins installed, settings, recommendations Admin credentials, third-party service credentials (Wordfence, Cloudflare) Before/after speed test screenshots Screenshots of all 8 security tests with results What's NOT in Scope All branding, design, theme customization (logo, favicon, colors, typography, menus, footer styling — I will do all of this) Course creation or content migration from old site Photography, slider, homepage layout, hero sections Page content (About, Contact, Programs, Blog posts — I will write) SEO beyond technical baseline Mailchimp setup (I will do) Migration of users from old site to new (new site starts with zero users) Any work on the archived subdomain beyond making it accessible Required Skills Strong LMS experience (WPLMS preferred; LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor LMS acceptable) Strong WordPress security expertise — registration/login hardening, anti-spam, brute-force defense WordPress administration (3+ years) Migration experience (subdomain moves, database URL updates) Configuring Wordfence, reCAPTCHA v3, 2FA, email verification Performance optimization (WP Rocket, Cloudflare) Comfortable with cPanel, hosting, DNS, SSL Clear English communication What Must Be Preserved (Do Not Change) WPLMS theme/plugin (no platform migration) Vimeo, WooCommerce + PayPal flows (must remain functional) Existing branding and visual identity on archive subdomain Existing courses and content on archive subdomain (untouched) If you think any of these should change, raise it in chat — do not change unilaterally. Hosting & Access Site is on a managed WordPress host Hosting/domain details disclosed only after shortlisting and NDA signed I will create your admin account; revoked after handoff A simple NDA must be signed before access — you'll have access to user data on the old site and must agree not to retain or share it after the project Timeline I am flexible on timeline but value efficient delivery. Please indicate your realistic timeline based on your current availability. The work should be done in less than one week. Long-Term Engagement Strong performance may lead to additional work — design customization, content migration, advanced SEO, UI/UX, new features. No commitment is made beyond this initial scope. Open to Recommendations If you see ways to improve the scope, plugin choices, sequence, or approach based on your experience, please mention them in your bid. I value experienced perspectives and am happy to refine before awarding. Looking forward to your proposal.

This looks like a great fit, GRID — I will handle the full subdomain migration, fresh WordPress + WPLMS install, security hardening, and performance optimization as outlined. Everything from the backup and database URL rewrite through to the handoff report with all eight security test screenshots. For the disposable email blocking, I will implement a server-side filter that checks registrations against a maintained blocklist of throwaway domains — not just a static list but one that updates automatically. Combined with reCAPTCHA v3 score logging and the honeypot field, this creates layered defense that catches both bots and manual spam signups. I am happy to share relevant LMS site examples in our chat. Questions: 1) Which managed WordPress host are you on — Cloudways, WP Engine, Kinsta? Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

"GRID" Hello, I have reviewed your project description carefully and this is exactly the kind of reset project that benefits from doing it clean once instead of patching endlessly. I have handled LMS rebuilds (including WPLMS-style stacks) where security, spam control, and performance were the core focus. With 10+ years in WordPress, I will isolate your legacy site to a subdomain safely, then build a hardened fresh install with WPLMS, WooCommerce, Zoom, and all security layers properly configured and tested end-to-end. I will also document everything clearly for handoff. One improvement I would suggest: adding server-level rate limiting (via hosting/Cloudflare) alongside Wordfence for stronger spam prevention. The Bid amount is subject to change and will be finalized after a complete project discussion. Happy to share LMS work examples. Can you confirm the hosting type (cPanel/managed) and Cloudflare access? Regards, Smile Mittal
