Project Overview We are completing a WordPress-based festival and travel discovery platform that was previously started and partially built. Visual design and page layouts are complete. Finalized CSV datasets exist. Custom WordPress plugins already exist. The prior engagement was discontinued due to non-delivery of core functional outcomes. We are seeking an experienced WordPress developer or small team to take ownership of the remaining work and complete the platform to a production-ready, high-quality state. This is not a redesign or a greenfield build. This is a stabilization, integration, and completion engagement. Current State of the Project What already exists: A live WordPress site Completed front-end design and templates Finalized CSV datasets for festivals and related entities Custom WordPress plugins already provided, including: REST API plugin Admin enhancements Guides and articles SEO helpers What is not functional or incomplete: The CSV importer does not support the finalized CSV column structures The database schema is not aligned to the CSV datasets APIs do not return stable or complete payloads Front-end templates cannot reliably render data Festival date occurrences logic is missing or incomplete Sub-event ingestion is missing Admin UI does not fully control working data End-to-end validation with supplied datasets has failed In short, the visual layer exists, but the core data pipeline and API contracts are incomplete. Scope of Work The selected developer will be responsible for owning the backend and integration work end to end. Key responsibilities include: Environment stabilization Remove duplicate or conflicting custom plugins Select and enforce one canonical version of each plugin Resolve PHP fatal errors and runtime warnings Place all custom code under Git version control Data ingestion and schema alignment Align database schema to finalized CSV column sets Update or rebuild the CSV importer to map correctly into schema Ensure imports are repeatable and logged Ensure CSV updates do not require redevelopment Validate imported data is stored correctly and queryable API stabilization Modify, extend, or refactor existing custom REST API endpoints Ensure consistent response structures suitable for frontend consumption Support festivals, occurrences, sub-events, and routes Front-end integration Wire homepage to live API data Wire festival index pages to live API data Wire festival detail pages to live API data Correctly resolve multi-date festivals and sub-events Eliminate runtime warnings and broken loops Go-live readiness and handoff Final QA pass Basic performance and stability checks Admin documentation for CSV imports and content management Handoff documentation and walkthrough Ensure the site can be operated without developer dependency This engagement establishes the complete functional foundation for all envisioned platform features. Future enhancements must be able to build on this foundation without architectural rework. Milestone-Based Engagement This project is milestone-based. No hourly billing. Milestone 1 – Backend Reality Check Schema aligned to finalized CSVs CSV importer fully functional and repeatable Full dataset imports successfully Data present and queryable Git repository created Milestone 2 – API and Front-End Integration Stable APIs returning consistent payloads Homepage renders live data Festival index pages render live data Festival detail pages render live data Occurrences and sub-events resolve correctly Milestone 3 – Go-Live Readiness and Ownership Transfer QA complete Admin documentation delivered Site operable without developer involvement Milestones are paid only upon acceptance. Partial completion does not trigger payment. Out of Scope UI redesign Replacing WordPress Experimental or speculative architecture changes Shifting backend responsibility to client developers Eligibility Requirements Only applicants meeting the following criteria will be considered: At least 100 completed projects. Minimum 98 percent project completion rate on the platform Minimum overall rating of 4.8 stars Demonstrated experience completing milestone-based WordPress projects How to Apply Please include: Confirmation you meet the eligibility requirements A brief description of how you would approach Milestone 1 Examples of similar WordPress or data-driven projects you have completed One brief non-technical personal detail in your response Proposals requesting hourly billing or requiring upfront access without milestone commitment will not be considered.

Hi there, I’ve reviewed your WordPress festival platform and I’m confident I can take ownership to stabilize, integrate, and complete the backend and data pipeline so you get a production-ready system. I have completed milestone-driven WordPress and data-driven projects, aligning schemas, building reliable CSV importers, and delivering robust REST APIs that feed clean frontend components. Here’s how I’ll approach it: stabilize the environment, remove conflicting plugins, and bring all custom code under Git. I’ll align the database schema to your finalized CSVs, rebuild the importer to map precisely to the schema, and ensure imports are repeatable and logged. I’ll refactor or extend REST endpoints for festivals, occurrences, sub-events, and routes to produce consistent payloads. Then I’ll wire the front end to live API data, fix multi-date festival logic, and resolve all runtime warnings. Finally, I’ll perform a thorough QA, capture go-live readiness, and hand over comprehensive admin guides and handoff docs so the site can run without a developer. 1) Do you have a staging environment with access to the finalized CSVs and current site in a testable state? 2) Confirm the final CSV column mappings and data types required by the updated schema. 3) What are the exact API payload structures you expect for festivals, occurrences, sub-events, and routes? 4) Are there any time zone requirements for festival dates and multi-date events? 5) What is your preferred Git work

Hello, I can start immediately. I understand this is a completion and stabilization project, not a redesign. I can take full ownership of the backend, data import, API stability, and front-end integration, and deliver the platform to a production-ready state. I will work milestone by milestone, with full testing and documentation at each stage. I will also ensure the site can be managed without ongoing developer dependency. For Milestone 1, I will first audit the current environment and remove any duplicate plugins. I will then align the database schema with the finalized CSV structure and rebuild the CSV importer to support repeatable, logged imports. Once data is correctly stored and queryable, I will push the work into a Git repository and share it for review. Thankyou, Azad

Hi there, I’ve reviewed your WordPress Festival Platform project and I’m confident I can stabilize and complete the data pipeline, API contracts, and admin controls to a production-ready state. I’ve led milestone-based WordPress data-driven projects that involve complex CSV imports, custom REST endpoints, and front-end data wiring, with a strong emphasis on maintainability and repeatable processes. My approach focuses on three milestones. Milestone 1 (Backend Reality Check) will align the schema to the finalized CSVs, implement a robust, repeatable CSV importer with logging, and establish a Git-controlled codebase with a clean, conflict-free plugin stack. I’ll ensure the data is imported, stored correctly, and queryable. Milestone 2 (API and Front-End Integration) will stabilize and refactor REST endpoints, deliver consistent payloads, and wire the homepage, festival index, and detail pages to live API data while resolving multi-date festivals and sub-events. Milestone 3 (Go-Live Readiness and Ownership Transfer) covers final QA, performance checks, admin documentation for CSV imports, and handoff materials so the site can operate without ongoing developer intervention. Proposed timeline: I can begin immediately and target Milestone 1 completion in 7-10 days, with subsequent milestones following a similar cadence, contingent on data complexity and access to CSVs/API specs.
