Hi All!

I need to decide if WP is the way to go or build something from scratch in Laravel/ASP.NET MVC.

I need to be able to:

-Each user will have its private area (more than one private forum)
-Will have to be able to tag/categorize their forum posts
-Need for a way to store bbpress content encrypted in db.

Virtually i need to be able to create a network of private diaries (of course it will not be only that but that is the core).

Should i go full custom?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/ would solve the first one, but not encryption or a network of private diaries

This all sounds very bespoke and time consuming

Thanks!

“Time consuming” as in develop a custom plugin for WP or go full custom in your opinion?

wordpress and encryption – there are plugins such as discussed here

but either solution will be time consuming – good luck !
