Hello, Your custom WordPress maintenance project aligns well with my experience working inside existing themes and carefully extending another developer’s codebase. I can begin with the small paid task, first reviewing the 10up-based structure, Tailwind CSS v3 build workflow, ACF field architecture, Gutenberg blocks, and current Git practices before making targeted changes. I can handle responsive layout updates, custom PHP functionality, HTML/CSS refinements, JavaScript behavior, ACF/Gutenberg updates, troubleshooting, bug fixes, and npm-based build changes without disrupting the existing implementation. I’ll work from your screenshots and specifications, keep changes focused and maintainable, and communicate clearly throughout the process. I’m comfortable adapting to established conventions rather than forcing a page-builder approach. I can also document relevant changes so ongoing collaboration remains efficient. For the initial paid task, which specific template, ACF field group, or Gutenberg block should I review and update first? I’d be glad to start with the initial paid project and build a reliable long-term working relationship. Best regards, Muhammad Awais

Hi, This is Elias from Miami. I’ve checked the project description, and I understand you need someone who can work comfortably inside an existing 10up-based custom theme rather than adding another page builder. I’m experienced with custom WordPress/PHP development, ACF, Gutenberg, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, responsive layouts, and Git/npm workflows. I’m also comfortable first understanding another developer’s structure and conventions, then making focused changes without breaking existing components or the build process. I can handle ongoing layout updates, custom blocks/ACF fields, responsive fixes, troubleshooting, and new functionality as needed. Q1: Are the existing Gutenberg blocks built as custom PHP blocks, ACF blocks, or a combination, and do you have a preferred pattern for adding new blocks? Q2: Is Tailwind currently compiled through the theme’s npm workflow, and should new styling stay strictly within the existing Tailwind configuration? Q3: For the initial paid task, would you prefer a small layout/ACF change so you can evaluate how I work within the existing codebase? I’m happy to start with the small paid project and build from there into an ongoing development relationship. Regards.

Hi there, You’re not just looking for WordPress help , you need someone who can safely extend a custom codebase without disturbing the parts already working well. That’s exactly the kind of environment I’m comfortable with. I’ve worked on custom WordPress themes, ACF/ACF Pro setups, Gutenberg blocks, Tailwind v3 styling, and PHP/JS updates inside existing builds. I’m used to stepping into another developer’s code, reading the structure quickly, and making layout, responsive, and functional changes with care. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. I can start with a small paid task, review the theme architecture, and then handle ongoing updates through a clean Git/npm workflow. Could you share one recent change request that best represents the kind of ACF/Gutenberg work you need first? Best regards, Asad

With the existing 10up-based theme, Tailwind CSS v3 build, and ACF/Gutenberg content model, I would first trace the relevant template, block, field group, and compiled asset path before changing markup or styles. That keeps responsive fixes aligned with the codebase rather than introducing page-builder workarounds. I’m comfortable taking over custom themes written by another developer, using Git to isolate changes, following the npm build workflow, and preserving established PHP and block conventions. The initial paid task can deliver the requested layout or bug fix, including responsive styling, within 3 days. I previously maintained a custom WordPress theme alongside an orders plugin, working within existing boundaries instead of replacing the architecture. Is the first paid task already defined by a screenshot/specification, and are its ACF fields already in production? Muhammad Saad

Hi there, I can help maintain and extend your custom WordPress theme without treating it like a page-builder site. I’m comfortable stepping into an existing PHP/JS codebase, reading the theme structure first, then making focused changes through Git and the npm build flow rather than quick edits that become hard to maintain. For this type of work, my approach would be to start with a small paid task, review the 10up-based theme, ACF field usage, Gutenberg blocks, Tailwind v3 setup, and responsive patterns, then implement the requested change with clear commits and minimal disruption. I pay close attention to inherited code, naming conventions, block behavior, and mobile styling so updates feel consistent with the original build. I can share relevant custom WordPress examples and discuss prior inherited-theme work in chat. Happy to review your first task and see if we’re a good long-term fit.

The important part here is not just WordPress experience, it’s being comfortable stepping into a custom 10up-style theme, reading another developer’s decisions, and then making layout or functionality changes without breaking the build or editor experience. For a site like this, I’d begin by mapping the ACF structure, Gutenberg implementation, and Tailwind workflow so future updates stay efficient and consistent. I regularly work on custom WordPress themes rather than page-builder setups, including ACF Pro fields, Gutenberg content structures, responsive styling updates, bug fixing, and PHP/JS adjustments inside established repositories. Git/npm workflows and inherited codebases are familiar territory, so I can work with screenshots/specs and translate them into clean edits instead of patchy quick fixes. Starting with a paid trial task is a good way to test fit on both sides. - Are you mainly needing frontend/layout adjustments right now, or are there also backend/theme logic changes in the first batch? - Do you already have a staging environment and repo access set up for development?

Hi, I've maintained custom WordPress themes where the work meant reading another developer's code first, then making ACF and layout changes without breaking the existing build. On one longer engagement I worked inside a client's codebase doing PHP, JavaScript and CSS fixes plus new features over time. WordPress Website Development & Technical Support: Adil Upwork · ongoing custom theme support I've also built ACF-driven booking layouts with custom fields and responsive styling on a hunting outfitter site, so ACF Pro and Gutenberg blocks are familiar ground. One question on the build: are you on a standard npm/Tailwind v3 watch setup, or is there a custom Gulp/webpack step I should match before pushing changes? Happy to start with the small paid task so you can judge the code directly. Adil

Hi, I am Adeel. I work daily in PHP and custom codebases, including stepping into systems built by other developers and keeping them stable without breaking their conventions. For a custom theme on ACF and Gutenberg with a Tailwind and npm build pipeline, I would start by reading your build scripts and block registrations before touching any markup, so changes match your existing patterns rather than fighting them. I am comfortable working directly with a designer who provides clear specs and screenshots rather than making my own design calls. Which part of the site needs attention first, layout changes or new Gutenberg blocks?

Hello!, I am a US-based full stack/WordPress developer with around 10 years of experience building and maintaining custom WordPress themes, ACF/Gutenberg setups, Tailwind CSS layouts, PHP templates, JavaScript features, and Git/npm-based workflows. I read your project description carefully and understand this is not an Elementor or page-builder job. You need someone who can step into an existing custom 10up-style theme, understand the previous developer’s structure, and make clean updates without breaking the site. I’m comfortable working directly with designers/developers, following screenshots/specs, making responsive layout changes, updating ACF fields, adjusting Gutenberg blocks, troubleshooting bugs, and keeping the codebase clean through Git. Starting with a small paid task sounds like the right approach before moving into ongoing work. Relevant work includes: - Custom WordPress theme with ACF Pro flexible content - Gutenberg block-based marketing site - Tailwind v3 WordPress layout updates - Existing custom theme maintenance and bug fixes Could you please clarify the following questions to help me better understand the project? 1. Is the current theme using custom Gutenberg blocks, ACF blocks, or mostly PHP templates? 2. Do you already have a staging environment and Git workflow in place? 3. What would you like the first small paid task to be? Regards, James Zappi

Hi, Mateo here from Toronto, I’m comfortable working inside existing custom WordPress codebases rather than relying on page builders. I can work with custom themes, PHP, ACF/ACF Pro, Gutenberg, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, Git, and npm build workflows. I’m also comfortable taking over code originally written by another developer. My first step is always to understand the theme structure, ACF fields, custom blocks, build process, and existing conventions before making changes, so new work fits naturally into the codebase instead of creating technical debt. I can help with responsive layout updates, Gutenberg/ACF changes, Tailwind styling, bug fixing, troubleshooting, performance improvements, and new functionality as needed. I’m happy to start with the small paid project and let the quality of the first task determine the ongoing collaboration. I’ll work directly with you, follow your specifications/screenshots closely, and keep changes organized through Git. I can also provide relevant examples of custom WordPress work during the conversation.
