Is it ok to post a solicitation for techie work and offer a "bounty" for said work?

I need a particular set of skills and I'm willing to pay for the effort that leads to a solution.

It is not a full-time job.

Thank you,

Don't see why not provided you don't drag the site into dispute resolution.

The LQ Job Marketplace is the only legitimate place on LQ to post a payment for work. LQ has always been a place for volunteers to post solutions to problems and we do not allow people to give their problems more prominence by offering money or goods for a fix.

Just create a thread for your problem and let the members assist you with a fix.

I'd prefer to hear something back from Jeremy, no offense.

I take full responsibility for the site, as it's already b0rked.

The situation is that we have some custom WP themes/plugins files that communicate with a db backend.
Like a bonehead, I missed the WP db when I migrated the client to our network but have imported a dated .sql file, so things are in an inconsistent state.
Add a custom .jar file into the mix that is supposed to interface with the WP theme/plugin(s) to insert/update/delete from an entirely separate (openfire) db.

and that's the problem as it now stands. I have contacted the author of the plugin(s) to inquire about his services.

Thanks XavierP, I will do that.

XavierP is correct - The LQ Job Marketplace is currently the only legitimate place on LQ to post a payment for work.
