I’m having the same issue.

I’ve also tried IE11, Edge and Opera.

Yoast SEO plugin version: 4.8
Wordpress: 4.7.5

Hi Roch,

There’s a few items. The goal would be to make the plugin more attactive for American Football Clubs to use by offering better out-of-the-box look and feel. Right now there’s a fairly large barrier to use with all the customisation and modification needed to make the plugin look like an American Football product.

There are (potentially) all of the clubs on this site who are customers, in addition to the American semi-professional clubs.

1. Export of matches/teams/rosters by season for import from team site to league website and backup for restore.
– This seems to be needed as entries for the plugins are dependent on the option id.
– These option ids would not be the same between two different WordPress sites and could lead to duplicates.
2. Team level statistics for match results.
– This is considered basic level statistics. Going to player level is more intensive on an SID (Sports Information Department). Most teams won’t have an SID staff and the team level stats would be the easiest to enter and most useful.
– Looking at the single promo site for American Football, they do not use the stats features built into the plugin. The output they use is from a software suite, and not the built-in features.

3. Team level season stats.
– Again, more useful in this sport than individual statistics. Individual stats would make more sense to put behind a paywall for the plugin.
4. Look at feasibility of adding tabbed results for events.
– Tabbed results would load the different pertinent information:
Summary | Box Score (Individual Stats) | Recap (Article) | Team Stats
5. Better differentiation between league and team site functionality.
– This seems build specifically for leagues to track teams. There’s ways to tailor it for team specific highlighting, but requires code customisation, which most teams won’t have someone at a high enough technical level to accomplish.

Let me know if you’re interested.

Thanks Roch,

That resolves the display issue, but the event page still shows the inverted order through the GUI. There also isn’t a label in the Event that calls out which team is being entered as the home and away side, which would be extremely helpful.

If you’d like to work together to set up an American Football specific GUI, I’d be more than willing to. There’s quite a few things missing from a bare-bones information standpoint about the sport that I could help you with.

I know that about 15 of the teams in our league use WordPress for their sites just in Ireland, so there is a base of users who would potentially use this in one country. The league is also looking to use this for their site as well.

Warm regards,
Pete

I Roch,

Here’s the link to the alpha test site. I’m trying to figure a way to export the data from the test site without destructively rebuilding the WP tables as well.

Here’s ESPN’s NFL scoreboard, which shows the typical structure of score reporting.

The export functions would also be useful, as our League is planning on migrating to the SportsPress plugin. Providing updates to their site would be easier for matches with an export feature.

@ale_mol & @brianstoiber

A partial fix:
Sidebar –> Tools –> Export –> Select the SportsPress attributes you’d like to export.

You’ll have to modify the XML and migrate to the CSV format they require, but it reduces having to use the GUI a fair bit.

@roch

That doesn’t necessarily answer the question, especially for a plug-in that has data through most of the wp_* tables. Events in SportsPress populate data through wp_postmeta, wp_posts, and wp_terms to name a few that are all cross-referenced.

Both @ale_mol and @brianstoiber are asking the same question.

A calendar link won’t transfer the built-in information the plugin uses, which ties to player, team stats and league tables.

If there was an export option for any of the data in SportsPress it would make this entire process much simpler.

The only solution that I’ve found is a destructive rebuild of the entire WP database.

That didn’t resolve my issue. There were no leading spaces in my wp-config.php file and the close tag on that file was removed 5 years ago.

Running through the list of files associated with this error also didn’t result in finding any leading/trailing spaces.

There were extra spaces in the plugin PHP file, but didn’t resolve the issue either.

Maybe the string the plugin passes is concatenated/malformed and that’s causing Genesis or the core to choke on it?

I just ran into the same issue. Any update on this?
