- Completely replaced the login path for the website. We have been having problems with some users unable to login and being redirected to the registration page. Other times users are logged in but cannot see they are logged in until visiting a different page. I have been able to track down the problem to conflicts between WordPress, Paid Memberships Pro, Events Manager, and our own SCF plugin, but have been unable to accurately duplicate and therefore pinpoint the problem. I believe I have managed to fix the problem however, by completely replacing the login path and therefore bypassing any plugin or theme changes to the login system. Login and Logout are now both in the main menu.
- Fixed a bug where the emails sent to a teacher when a student signs up for recital hour contained a link that did not always work. By hard-coding the link, I was unable to point to 2 different dashboards depending on whether the teacher is full-time or adjunct. So the link was replaced with a link directly to the home page.
- Met with April Sheely to being planning the architecture for the entire scholarship process on the website. Took many notes and pinpointed where we will have logistical problems to solve as well as where we can definitely make improvements (and time-savers) to the workflow.
- Discussed one of those issues with Dr Bell and jointly came to a decision that all incoming students will need to register with the college before they can register and/or apply for scholarships. This alleviates one of the major inefficiencies with the current system that requires the Administrator to enter fake data for unregistered students and later re-enter that student’s data, essentially doing the same work twice.
- Solved an issue for student who was able to login but unable to access any functions relating to signups. The bug was caused by a missing entry in the database used by Events Manager. This is not a repeating bug, but probably a true technical glitch at the time she made the signup.
