Projects
Migration to AWS Server
We will be moving our WordPress networks to the AWS server from spring 2024 until early summer 2024. This move will make very little difference to your website but very beneficial. The move includes an update in the WordPress version and PHP.
Project Lead: Danial Bleile
People Directory Plugin
Integrating more functionality for a people directory within a website. This will include syncing with the people in the People Directory, adding non-WSU people to a website, and making updates to people’s profiles locally (within a website) that are not reflected in the People Directory or the displays of people on other websites.
Project Lead: Dan White
People Directory Website
Making the People Directory more of a central repository for people and connecting it to the information in Work Day.
