Fellow admins, mods, etc.; if you stumble upon this thread please do not post to it.  I want all requests for website modification to flow through me so that I can make sure that Erica’s limits are well respected.  Thank you!  Please just call, text or email me and we will discuss your item. – Phillip

Erica, we will need to come up with a different way to have this running work list.  It is even updating on the home page when I use a non-admin (e.g. Kathy) login:

Priority

1) Come up with a way for us to make posts for site maintenance without it updating the home page list of active topics.
3) I would like to add a search feature to the site.

4) Something has changed about the home page sliders.  The three pictures are not uniform and it does not look at good as it once did after your magic touch.  If you could please look at that and see if you can easily figure out why, I would appreciate it.  UPDATE 07/09: I disabled the FD2022 slider.  Two weeks late, but late is better than never I guess.  The two remaining slides are uniform in appearance so this one is no longer an issue until we add another slide.  Which I would like to do for Tour De Paris…

Ok, I can see this while logged in as a WP admin. I’ll check with my member account as well and see what happens.

[Erica Mueller]

Success! You did it! I can only see this when logged in as an Admin. I do not see it as a normal member so that means others shouldn’t either, unless like you they are a moderator/admin of the forums.

OK, cool.  They won’t be looking for it so they are unlikely to see it, but on the offhand chance they do I will add a little disclaimer at the top.  Thanks for the follow up.  I will see now if I can edit that first list (it worked) and add an item and adjust it’s priority.  If not then I will just copy and paste it repeatedly and make adjustments that way.  Thanks for the quick reply and thank you again for your help.  🙂

Erica,

I have just respectfully asked all the officers and site admins and the likes to please not email or call you with website requests of any type.  I asked them to please run them through me and I would add them to the list of priorities and as you had time you would peck away at them.  No promises on speed, just a promise that each item would be considered and then added to the list in priority as you and I assign it.  My plan is to brief the officers as we make progress so they don’t feel like they are being kept in the dark while insulating you from any unnecessary contact.  I appreciate your help and recognize how efficient you are at making changes while also respecting your family life and responsibilities.  If you get any direct contact please feel free to punt to me.

Thanks again,

Phillip

Phillip,

I think the slider on the front page being wonky may have something to do with the menu and header being changed. Whatever y’all did put it in a semi-mobile mode. Can you tell me what steps were taken to force that menu and get rid of the logo/header menu? I will need to undo that and come at the issue from another angle.

I have updated all of the plugins and there is no update for the member form builder, so that is not the issue. I’ll look through permissions for that just in case it had an update recently and changed some defaults.

Do you know if your hosting uses any kind of caching? I didn’t see anything cpannel, but that’s one of the options for the member form updating being an issue so I’d like to rule it out. We aren’t using any kind of caching plugins on the site, but some hosts have caching built in.

I have submitted a ticket to the plugin author. I saw a thread there where some people had a similar issue when new people join.

Erica, Rick actually did the mobile menu thing and he did it from the Mobile Menu Options, on the left about five items up from the bottom.  This link may or may not take you there – https://www.wb5rdd.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mobile-menu-options&tab=general-options.

I still want to see if we can come up with a page that is only visible to admins and which is not reflected on home page whenever you can look into that.  Much thanks! – Phillip

It’s pretty easy to just have a page that is not indexed on the menu and can even have a password. For example, here’s a page. The password is my last name with the first letter capitalized.

You could edit this page at any time and use it to keep a running list instead of using the forums. 🙂

Search has been added and sliders are fixed. 🙂
