Automate User Submissions and Voting System for a WordPress Community Website

**It's an adult-content website** Task 1: Automate User Submissions for Registered Members 1. Current Situation: The site uses BuddyPress and Youzify for member profiles and activities. Currently, all user activity posts are visible in their profiles, and this functionality works well. Submissions are handled via USP Pro and USP Helper, which are installed but not fully configured. Some forms have also been created with Elementor Pro, but these submissions require me to manually create the posts after receiving them, which is time-consuming. 2. What I Need: > Automate the submission process so that: Users can submit posts (e.g., GIFs, text, images) via an intuitive form. Posts arrive in draft mode for manual approval before being published. Published posts automatically display: The user’s name or username (clickable, leading to their BuddyPress profile). In the user's activity feed/profile via BuddyPress/Youzify. > Only registered members should be able to submit content (no anonymous submissions). > Simplify the setup: Either reconfigure USP Pro and USP Helper (already installed on the site). Or propose a better, simpler alternative to handle submissions via Elementor Pro or another plugin. 3. Expected Outcome: > A streamlined and efficient system for user submissions, fully integrated with BuddyPress and Youzify. > A robust foundation for future features like paid subscriptions. -------------------------------------------------------- Task 2: Add Voting and Ranking System for User-Generated Content 1. Requirements: Implement a voting system for specific categories of user-submitted content. Users should be able to rate posts (e.g., star ratings, thumbs up/down). Display a ranking system or leaderboard (e.g., “Top Rated Posts”) showcasing the highest-rated posts. Votes should appear in: BuddyPress profiles to display user contributions. A dedicated section for top-rated posts. 2. Existing Tools: The plugin “Yet Another Star Rating Plugin” is installed but not fully configured. You can also use “Rate My Post – Star Rating Plugin” or suggest a better option. -------------------------------------------------------- - Technical Details CMS: WordPress Theme: Vidorev (ThemeForest) Plugins: BuddyPress, Youzify, Elementor Pro, USP Pro, USP Helper Content Type: Adult Content -------------------------------------------------------- - Deliverables Task 1: Fully automate user submissions, ensuring seamless integration with BuddyPress and Youzify.
