Title: New WordPress version
Post by: Rick on Nov 30, 2019, 17:59:06
WordPress (the content management system used by the main OAS website) got a major update recently. I hope the update hasn't broken anything too horribly. Please let me know if you find things that used to work and don't any more...

...and again today. Quite a lot of changes (and one plugin I had to hack a fix into on the fly to keep the site alive) so please let me know pronto if you spot something amiss...

I left a slightly snarky remark on that plugin's comments page because the problem was caused by an addition that was clearly driven by the marketing department, and they have to have pushed the update without testing because even a simple test would have shown the problem.

I've done a load of updates this morning. Most of them went just fine, but...

...the same problem re-surfaced in the same code, and needed the same fix this morning.

Snark levels in the maintainer's feedback are rising....  :twisted:
