Developer Brief: 220526 New Listing System Build + Data Migration 1. Project Overview I am currently operating a business-critical directory website built on the Pixelgrade Listable theme (WordPress 6.2, PHP 7.4). The site contains 120+ company listings with text, images, videos, and map data. The existing theme and plugins are outdated and cannot be upgraded safely. The goal is to build a new, modern, stable listing system on a new WordPress installation (Cloudways staging environment), migrate all existing data, and introduce a paid subscription model for companies to be listed. 2. Objectives • Build a new Listings system using modern, supported tools. • Migrate all existing listing data (120+ companies) from Listable → new CPT. • Preserve all media (images, videos). • Implement a subscription-based payment system with variable pricing based on company size. • Ensure the new system is compatible with Beaver Builder, PHP 8.0+, and WordPress 6.6+. • Deliver a future proof, maintainable platform. 3. Technical Requirements 3.1 New WordPress Environment • Build on Cloudways staging (client will provide access). • Use PHP 8.0 or 8.1 (not 8.2+). • Use WordPress 6.6. 3.2 Custom Post Type (CPT) Create a new CPT called Listings using CPT UI. Required taxonomies: • Listing Category • Region / Location • Company Size (optional as taxonomy or ACF field) 3.3 Custom Fields (ACF Pro) Use ACF Pro to create structured fields for each listing: • Company Name • Tagline • Description • Address (text) • Latitude (number) • Longitude (number) • Company Size (select: Small / Medium / Large) • Website URL • Phone • Email • Logo (image) • Gallery (repeater or gallery field) • Video embed • Social links (optional) 3.4 Front End Templates (Beaver Builder) Create the following templates: • Listing Card (archive view) • Single Listing Page • Listings Archive / Search Page Templates must be fully editable in Beaver Builder. 3.5 Search & Filtering Implement FacetWP (or JetSmartFilters) for: • Keyword search • Category filter • Region filter • Company size filter • Map radius search (if required) 3.6 Maps Integration Use Mapbox (preferred) or Google Maps. Features required: • Map on single listing • Map on archive/search page • Marker clustering • Pull coordinates from ACF fields 3.7 Subscription / Payment System Client requires paid listings with variable pricing based on company size. Developer should implement ONE of the following: Option A (preferred): Paid Memberships Pro • Create subscription tiers (Small / Medium / Large company) • Restrict “Submit Listing” to active subscribers • Integrate Stripe for recurring payments Option B: WooCommerce + WooCommerce Subscriptions • Create subscription products • Assign listing submission rights based on subscription • Stripe + PayPal support Developer to advise based on complexity and cost. 4. Data Migration Requirements 4.1 Export from Existing Site Export all job_listing posts using WordPress Export Tool. 4.2 Field Mapping Map Listable/PixTypes fields to new ACF fields. Examples: Old Field (Listable) New Field (ACF) _job_location address _geolocation_lat latitude _geolocation_long longitude _company_size company_size _company_tagline tagline Developer must confirm all field mappings. 4.3 Import Use WP All Import + ACF Add on to import: • Listings • Categories • Custom fields • Media attachments Media must be re attached automatically. 4.4 Verification Developer must verify: • All listings imported correctly • All images and videos display • Maps load correctly • Filters work • Subscription restrictions work 5. Additional Requirements • Maintain SEO metadata (Yoast/RankMath) if present. • Ensure fast performance (Cloudways caching). • Ensure mobile responsiveness. • Provide basic documentation for the client on how to: o Add/edit listings o Manage subscriptions o Update templates 6. Deliverables • Fully functioning new listing system • All data migrated • Subscription system operational • Templates built in Beaver Builder • Documentation for client • Final site deployed to production (Cloudways) 7. Timeline & Budget Client is cost sensitive. Developer should propose: • Estimated hours • Fixed price option (if possible) • Phased delivery plan 8. Access Provided • Cloudways staging environment • WordPress admin access • Existing site export • Mapbox API key • Stripe account (for subscriptions) Final Note for Developer I am currently a one-person business. The solution must be: • Maintainable • Lightweight • Easy to update • Future proof • Not dependent on abandoned themes/plugins

Hello, I will build your new listing system on Cloudways staging — CPT with ACF Pro fields, Beaver Builder templates, FacetWP filtering, Mapbox integration, and a subscription tier system — then migrate all 120+ listings with media intact. For the payment model, I recommend Paid Memberships Pro over WooCommerce Subscriptions. It is lighter, does not load the full WooCommerce stack, and pairs well with your goal of a maintainable, lightweight platform. I will use WP All Import with the ACF add-on to map Listable fields precisely and re-attach all media automatically. Questions: 1) Do you need map radius search on the archive page, or are category and region filters sufficient? 2) Are there any existing Yoast/RankMath SEO settings on listings that need preserving during migration? Looking forward to discussing further. Best regards, Kamran

Hi - Elias here from Miami. The key challenge in optimizing WordPress performance is diagnosing bottlenecks and implementing scalable solutions. Many setups fail due to inadequate database indexing, poorly structured queries, or synchronous processes that can lead to timeouts under load. Common pitfalls include overloading the server with unoptimized plugins and themes, leading to memory exhaustion and slow response times. A solid architecture involves assessing the current setup, identifying heavy queries, and refactoring them for efficiency. Implementing caching strategies at both the object and page levels can significantly improve load times. I propose a structured approach: First, we analyze current performance metrics (Input). Next, we identify and rectify architectural flaws, such as query optimization (Processing). Finally, we implement caching and CDN strategies to serve assets efficiently (Output). A critical early decision is whether to address the existing database architecture or optimize front-end delivery first, as this will influence overall reliability. What current metrics or analytics are you using to measure performance, and have you pinpointed specific areas of concern? Looking forward to discussing this further.

I’m a fully confident WordPress developer with 16 years of experience, and I can rebuild your outdated Listable directory into a stable, modern listing system that is not dependent on abandoned theme/plugin structure. I would build the new CPT-based Listings setup with ACF Pro fields, Beaver Builder templates, FacetWP/JetSmartFilters search, Mapbox integration, and a clean subscription flow using Paid Memberships Pro or WooCommerce Subscriptions depending on the simplest long-term fit. For the migration, I’ll map the existing Listable/PixTypes fields into the new ACF structure, import all 120+ listings with media, categories, map data, videos, and SEO metadata where available, then verify listings, filters, maps, and subscription restrictions before deployment. Since you are cost-sensitive, I’d handle this in controlled phases so the core directory and migration are completed first, then payments/subscriptions are connected cleanly without making the system heavy. Could you share the existing export and confirm whether you prefer Paid Memberships Pro or want me to recommend the best option after checking the current setup? Best regards, Waqas A

I’ve worked on migrating directory sites with complex data and subscription models, so I understand the need for a smooth transition and a solid foundation. Here’s how I’ll tackle this: First, I’ll set up a fresh WordPress 6.6 install on your Cloudways staging with PHP 8.0/8.1. I’ll create the Listings CPT with CPT UI and build out the required taxonomies and ACF Pro fields exactly as you listed, ensuring all data types match. For data migration, I’ll map your existing Listable fields to ACF and use WP All Import with the ACF add-on to bring in listings, media, and categories, verifying images/videos and maps load correctly as you expect. For the front end, I’ll make fully editable Beaver Builder templates for archive, single, and search pages. I’ll integrate FacetWP or JetSmartFilters based on cost and ease for keyword, category, region, size filters, and confirm if you want map radius search included. Mapbox will power all maps with marker clustering, tied to ACF location fields, to give smooth map display on listings and archive. For subscriptions, Paid Memberships Pro fits best here—letting us build tiered plans for company size, restrict listing submissions to subscribers, and handle Stripe recurring payments. If you want, I can outline pros and cons of WooCommerce Subs. Do you want the map radius filter included initially or phased later? Also, any specific SEO plugin preference between Yoast or RankMath? I’ll provide a phased plan with fixed pricing, keep it lightweight and maintainable, and supply clear docs so you can manage listings, subscriptions, and templates easily. Ready to get started on the staging site as soon as you share access.

I can help with this, We will build your new listing system on Cloudways staging: CPT with ACF Pro fields, Beaver Builder templates, FacetWP filtering, Mapbox integration, and a subscription layer tied to Stripe. For the payment model, we recommend Paid Memberships Pro over WooCommerce Subscriptions. It is lighter, pairs well with CPT restriction logic, and avoids the overhead WooCommerce adds. Company size tiers will control access to the listing submission form directly. For migration, we will use WP All Import with the ACF add-on to map all Listable fields, re-attach media, and verify every listing post-import. A couple of quick things to confirm: 1) Are you open to Paid Memberships Pro, or do you need WooCommerce for other store functionality? Looking forward to talking through the details. Faizan
