Jonathan,

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your thoughtful responses to my questions. This helps me a LOT. Kudos!

Your plugin helped us get our site up and running quickly, mainly due to its simplicity. Your responses make it clear how well you thought out its functionality, and lays bare my ignorance of programming and the technicalities of WP! I’m just a guy who can build basic websites; I’m definitely not a coder!

We needed a way to list volunteer opportunities and capture volunteer signups, and Wired Impact Volunteer Management gave us that in a hurry. Now that we’re up and running, we realize we need a bit more capability, because the person managing our volunteers finds she needs to do too much copy and paste from the site into the spreadsheet she was already using. Primarily she needs time slots, and some reporting that includes who signed up for what, when, and what’s still open.

So while your plugin got us up and running, we’re going to have to find better way to manage that stuff. Looking into some other options. Might have to go with a pro version of something…

Thanks again!

Thanks Jonathan, I appreciate the response.

Clearly I misunderstood flexible opportunities. That makes a lot more sense now. And thanks for the tip on how to display both one-time and flexible on a page. I will try that.

Please consider adding “Make this a recurring opportunity” if at all possible. We have need of volunteers to help at several local farmers markets, which happen every Saturday, Sunday or weekday from May thru October. It’s going to be a PITA to add separate opportunities for each one. To be able to tick a box and select a recurrence schedule would be neato keen. ??

Also appreciate the tip on displaying thumbnails. I’ll give that a go when I can.

If you could shed any light on how to seamlessly integrate this plugin’s volunteer/users with other plugins’ usage of WP users, I’d really appreciate it. I have an interesting situation I’ll post in another thread on that very topic.

I can’t get list view to show at all…

Yes, I could do that, and the only reason I haven’t is that I’m on deadline with a hundred other things to do, and changing the theme isn’t on the list.

I was just trying to figure out why something else wasn’t working right — the Thrive Content Builder, to be precise — so I wanted to switch to a different theme for a minute to see if that had any effect. When I couldn’t, I came here to see if there was any discussion about it, and there is — but in all these years of people reporting similar behavior, I see no causes or solutions posted.

I really just want to know what’s causing it, but nobody seems to know.

Wow, learn something new every day! Never heard of WP CLI…

I don’t think it is, and the site is hosted on someone else’s server, so I don’t have the permissions I assume would be required.

Any idea what the problem might be?

I know it’s not really magic, but sometimes it sure seems like it. ??

You know, I saw that, and thought that since I had already upgraded, it would make no difference.

But it did! Problems solved. Thanks so much!

I’m having the same problem. I’ll keep looking, if I find the answer I’ll come back.

Wow. I think I fixed it…

I went into my php database editor and changed the site url back to mydomain.com/wp29

I deleted the new index.php and .htacess from my root directory.

The site then showed up at the old URL. I logged in. No problem.

I then changed the BLOG url to be my site root, leaving the WORDPRESS url to be /wp29. In retrospect, this actually makes sense, except that MY BLOG is not at the root, it’s at /blog… (gotta think like an engineer, don’tcha?)

Finally, in order to get my actual BLOG to show up at /blog I had to delete the directory called /blog and resave my WP page called blog.

It all seems to be working fine now…

Lesson learned.
