kothing/CMS-Varient — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a modern news and magazine website CMS in PHP that feels polished and easy to run for a small publishing team. I want a clean responsive front end, plus a simple admin area where I can manage posts, categories, menus, media, users, site settings, themes, colors, fonts, and widgets without touching code.

Please make it work well for multiple authors, with separate dashboards, drafts, scheduled posts, pending review, and support for different post types like regular articles, galleries, videos, polls, quizzes, recipes, and events. I also want premium content features, including memberships, subscriptions, paywalled articles, and payments for paid access. A basic author earnings setup would be great too.

Make SEO and performance a real priority, with fast pages, sitemap support, structured data, good URLs, and mobile friendly behavior. It should also support multiple languages, dark and light mode, and solid security and privacy basics.

If anything is unclear, look up the current docs online and finish a working version end to end.
