    Hi everyone,

    I’m looking for a WordPress theme that can be used to set up a Lost/Found functionality where users can post lost products.

    I’ve been looking for a theme that meets these requirements, but I haven’t been able to find any.

    Please let me know if you know of any themes that meet these requirements.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out! Building a site where users can post lost products sounds like a really interesting project, and I’m happy to help!

    Generally speaking, themes provide the design and style for a site, but not necessarily the function or features that would make this work. You can think of themes as the clothing of the site, but the features that come with the core WordPress software, additional features added with WordPress.com’s Paid Plans, and then installed plugins are where you’ll find the added capabilities you’re looking for.

    There may be a plugin out there that could add this kind of feature to your site. You can search through plugins today from here: https://wordpress.com/plugins/ – I’d recommend checking out plugins with the following search terms, to get you started!

    • classified (a plugin that allows visitors to post classified ads on your site might work great for a lost/found board)
    • forum (similarly, a forum plugin would allow your site’s visitors to post on your site)
    • membership (a membership plugin might help you manage who is allowed to post on your site, by setting up a custom login).

    To install any plugins you find on your site, you’ll need to purchase our Business plan, which comes with the added security and infrastructure to support installing plugins. This plan also comes with 24/7 access to live chat support with our team of engineers, automatic daily backups and real-time activity logging so you can restore your site if something goes wrong, advanced security, and access to all our Premium themes as well as the ability to install any third-party theme, if you find one you like best from another developer.

    Depending on your timeline for this project, you might also be interested in our site building services – this would allow you to pay WordPress.com to have our professionals build your site for you, saving your energy for maintaining the site and moving forward with the project! We offer 2 different options here, an Express site-building service that’s great for kick-starting a site build on a fast timeline, allowing you to start from a ready-to-publish site and focusing on the added features, or our full scale Built By WordPress.com service, where you’d be paired with a team of professionals who can build out the entire site, including setting up custom themes and plugins. You can learn more about both services here! https://wordpress.com/built-by/

    I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any follow up questions we can answer.
