Jan. 6, 2023 Open Lab Notes: Admissions Website, Print Style, GA4, & Yearly Website Report

What We Are Working on

Admissions Website: Finishing up redirects. The new website has about 30 pages compares to the current site with 100+ pages. Check your links to the admissions website after it launches to make sure it goes to where you intended.
The site is likely to be launched on Jan. 11, 2023.

Print Style: A print style will soon be implemented. Just a couple more tweaks.

WordPress Not Sending Emails: An update will fix WordPress not sending emails to Admins. When fixed Admins may see an influx of notices as WordPress catches up on the missed emails.
Hero Slider: There are display, image size, and image display issues.
Glitch Status: Matt (sound) will confer with the boss about this.
People Directory (people.wsu.edu): Adding people is case sensitive. Please use all lowercase letters when adding someone to the site.
Use: butch.cougar
Don’t Use: Butch.Cougar
Glitch Status: Patience, we’re getting right to it. Submit a web support ticket for general help if you think you have a duplicate profile.
People Block: People are encountering an error when editing a page with a People block on it. UGH! Please use Safari, FireFox, or Chrome in incognito. If you run into problems with editing the page try clearing their cache in Chrome.
Glitch Status: Ugh! We are working on it.
People Block with Gallery Block or Card Group Block: Don’t be surprised if you find other blocks that are not getting along with the people block. Having both of these blocks on a page causes a similar issue as just the People block but clearing the cache or using incognito does not remove the error message.
Glitch Status: Danial is on it!

Yearly Website Report with DataStudio (LookerStudio): We’ll have a template and tutorial soonish.
