WordPress as custom CMS – music site – is this feasable

Hi there

I’m looking to create a site where DJ’s can create a profile page and upload mp3 mixes and playlists to that profile.
I’m not an expert in WordPress or php, but I struggle through. I’ve looked at a number of possible ways to try and achieve this in wordpress.

I came across this tutorial on how to use WP as a membership directory and thought that I could use this as a basis. It uses WP User Manager plugin from Dealsway to add new fields to the user profiles (I looked at that but didn’t know how flexible it was with images as I want to have a profile image/avatar). The other plugin it uses is Role Manager.

So this is how I could see it working:-

• The new user registers on the site, and by default is assigned the role of ‘subscriber’
• Once a new user has registered, I will “approve” that member by changing them to an ‘Author’ role.
• I then create a new sub-category under a parent category of ‘DJs’ with the variable of their ‘username’. So when they want to link to their profile the URL will be https://www.domain.com/djs/username
• I then create a post under their profile (via ‘Post Author’ dropdown) and assign the category ‘DJs’ and the sub-category just created.

From here I want the user to be able to login and update the post I created which will act as their “profile” page, using the Role Manager plugin or something similar to restrict them from viewing any other posts.

In addition to their main “profile” page I want them to be able to make additional posts for any mixes they want to upload, separate from their “profile” page but still under the same category. Maybe these posts could utilise tags or something so they could be displayed on their “profile” page.

It would be preferable if the mixes could be separated from the “profile” post because it would allow individual linking to that mix and of course they would be archived from access elsewhere on the site.

Does this approach sound feasible? How would you suggest I go about doing this? Any help much appreciated
