From WRG
Revision as of 13:35, 19 August 2021 by Tdoyle (talk | contribs) (→Features not working that were not working on the old site)
Resolved Items
- The MediaWiki software that runs the site has been upgraded from the very ancient 2011 version.
- Email functionality has now been restored after many years of being inoperable. You should be able to request a password reset, email another user, etc.
Features not working that were working on the old site
- Ability to upload images has not yet been activated on this new site.
- The web address is temporarily set to "new.whitneygen.org" until the decision is made to replace the live site with this new site.
- Newly created user accounts will not have a user page automatically created.
- The Create Family pages are not operational.
- The Advanced Search page and the search section on the main page are not operational.
- Timelines on a few pages are not operational.
Features not working that were not working on the old site
- Maps are not operational. These are occasionally added to pages such as Whitneys of Breconshire, Wales
- The Discussion Forums are not operational. These will probably be sunsetted and directed to the active Facebook group.
- Dynamic Pages - these show up as <DPL> sections on pages or "{{#dpl:". See Medieval Whitney Families and Family:Whitney, Erastus (1790-1862) for examples.
