WordPress Adult Discussion Forum

I’m launching a brand-new adult community and need a WordPress expert to build a clean, secure discussion forum from the ground up. The goal is to give members a familiar message-board experience—threads, replies, and easy navigation—while keeping the back-end simple enough for me to manage without touching code every day.

Here’s what I have in mind:

• Platform: WordPress at the core, with bbPress or a comparable forum plugin that you recommend for scalability and moderation control.
• Core functions: standard discussion threads, nested replies, post reporting, basic moderation tools, and GDPR-ready privacy controls.
• Member management: user registration with email verification, editable profiles, and optional age-gate before account creation.
• Design: a discreet, mobile-first theme that blends smoothly with the forum plugin, dark-mode ready, and ready for me to swap in a custom logo.
• Security: robust spam protection (reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha), SSL-friendly setup, and no-index tags on sensitive pages so search engines stay away until we’re ready.
• Handover: clear written instructions or a quick Loom walkthrough on how to create categories, manage users, and install updates safely.

If you’ve previously deployed adult or niche communities and understand WordPress, bbPress, BuddyPress, or even alternative stacks like wpForo, I’d love to see your work. Looking to move quickly—once everything meets the above specs and runs smoothly on my host, the project is complete.
