Thanks! I got confused!
Okay did this to the DB. It resolved it.

Can you double check? Control F5?
I also doublechecked the functions file and added SH code tweaks at CLG SH before I update.
We keep everything else (CLG Tech F and SH F AS IS). We will test the latest forum version at CLG SF. The CLG SF Chat on the side bar is still wonky. So I am updating that one to latest WP and latest forum version.
CLG SF forum still the same?
I was thinking it could also be the Virtual Phone you put in there, you want me to test that?

Consultant : 1.04 CrisW : Welcome to the Chat Forum! Chat sessions are automatically erased every 60 minutes. Just select the REFRESH link above to go to the latest chat session. We are glad you are here! TESTING AGAIN CrisW : the text box now does not automatically expand the sidebar and is now “responsive” CrisW : the text above ttestedon full screen. Now this one is being tested on tablet size screen. CrisW : And the smallest. blah blah balah, now it stacks down. The codes I put works. Yay!
What was it?
Codes I compared line by line. We had it in the CLG Tech Forum, which I further tweaked here at SH, but it was missing from the CLG SF.
That’s why when I decided to use the SH for our tech blurbs, it’s easier to troubleshoot as I jog my brain (while praying). 🙂
We fixed it at SH, it was not necessary for the CLG Tech Forum, since it’s just us there. The CLG SH is still a Dev site for us, then when ok to open, we just move all old articles to archive.
And we leave these back and forths here at the comments section because it is not “searchable”. Forum posts are. Geddit? 🙂
And we copy paste our chat sessions here too for FYIs of other consultants or admins, so they can feel free to copy my code. 🙂
My guess was the Virtual Phone you put. Wrong guess!
No, I thought about it too. I thought IF the above codes didn’t help, I might have to remove the phone and keep it as a stand alone pop up or something. I remember when I used that last time many years ago. Other consultants were using that phone too, to listen in on conference calls and replays. It was handy. I let other bloggers use it too. Saves on overseas calls or S k y p e calls. Now with all these apps, it still might be useful.
Hey I’m deliriously hungry. Thanks for standing by to help out!
NP. I just kept tabs open and watching YT! Text me if you need another tester. Good night!
Group Chat : Welcome to the Chat Forum! Chat sessions are automatically erased every 60 minutes. Just select the REFRESH link above to go to the latest chat session. We are glad you are here! Consultant : Now it automatically refreshed! Consultant : Your codes worked!
Suggestion – on CLG “Group Chat” instead of just “Group Chat” on the auto-welcome, change it to “CLG Group Chat”. Here at SH we have “SH Chat Forum”.
Okay, I changed it FROM:
Group Chat : Welcome to the Chat Forum! Chat sessions are automatically erased every 60 minutes. Just select the REFRESH link above to go to the latest chat session. We are glad you are here!
TO:
ChristianLifeGroups Chat : Welcome! Chat sessions are automatically erased every 60 minutes. Just select the REFRESH link above to go to the latest chat session. We are glad you are here!
To get the changes quickly, just “save” then disable, then enable, and you’d see the updates quicker (rather than wait for the next 60 minutes) 🙂
Trying to figure out how I designed the comments with avatars and see if we could tweak that onto the chat as well. I know we tested that before, but not sure at which portal we did that at.
Remind me to unpublish later. 🙂
CW reminding you to unpublish! =)
She kept it open for me to test drive too.
Yes, you did the UIX. I think I was at that team too testing it with you. I remember we quit because it was “jumping, and then some logins, had JUST the member’s avatars on ALL the avatars on the chat.
Let’s move to CLG chat, i need to bounce off ideas quicker.
ChristianLifeGroups Chat : Welcome! Chat sessions are automatically erased every 60 minutes. Just select the REFRESH link above to go to the latest chat session. We are glad you are here! CrisW : You here? Consultant : Yeah, I went to SH chat. The little chat icon on the bottom right is real handy. CrisW :Yes. I see the LOGIC on your suggestion thanks. I actually just clicked on the SH too! Consultant : LOL! CrisW : The Chat, works super light weight and fast, which is neat. As far as having the avatars with the Chat Name, i put the Logins and Profiles to default to the Forum settings CrisW :where members can upload their avatars. CrisW :So for the chat to have avatars, it would have to PULL from what a Member has on their Forum Profile, IF they have uploaded their own avatars. Consultant : Yeah, that would complicate it. CrisW : Yes, that was why I put in there the Letter Avatars, so that in case the Member has not uploaded their own avatar, then the Letter Avatar would display CrisW : Which adds another layer to the mix of complication. CrisW : If we use the Core WP Gravatars or Wavatars. that would slow down or make it heavier – since then, it would be Pulling the Images or Avatars from external websites. CrisW : That was why I put the functionality on the Forum, to have the First Letter of the name to be the Avatar. Consultant : Yes, I remember now when we tested. You and I are both C’s, but only differentiated by the SHADE of the letter CrisW : Yes, I remembered the joke that the Chat looked more confusing with just letters with the name. CrisW : A workaround really, is to just put the “Online Members” on the Forum, ON TOP of the Chat Box on the Sidebar. Consultant : Yes, you said to remove the chat box from the sidebar yesterday. CrisW :Yeahhhhh, I was frustrated. But I fixed it after several hours. It was a code snippet, I realized that since we basically copied codes from the CLG Tech Forum, onto the CLG SF – then I updated the CLG SF Forum to the latest (back then) version, the codes I put on SH CrisW :was not 100% applicable, so I had to check it line by line last night. That’s how we got if fixed. CrisW : Thanks to you reporting the Double Greeting! It started there! Consultant : Yeah, well, if you Password Protect the Forum Page, it really is just visible to those of us who know the password. Consultant : You should write a book, use all of our tech blurbs as raw data. CrisW :Hahaha! Right. CrisW : I was thinking of just making a blog post and then just pointing to specific pages. Consultant : It’s not going to be as bad, we only have a couple of blog posts on SH – Session Dates. Would be good for the Timelines too. For SH. You made one for CLG. CrisW :Yes, I had a dream last night about doing that exactly, just putting it all together. I think I got a huge headache when I viewed the videos I took on my phone of the Tornado aftermath in Onalaska. CrisW : The direction of the SH website changed because of that as I decided to use the blog as a “placeholder” for the people to look at the videos and so that THEY can help as well by going there directly. There were lots of people whom I have spoken to who actually went there as well to help. Consultant : That didn’t get much media attention. CrisW :Yeah, it was April May last year. The height of the lockdown from an “invisible” enemy. CrisW : Tornado debris, in shock people, hurting people not having water or food or electricity IS VISIBLE. CrisW : WAS visible. CrisW : I remember, the people who were so scared of not getting any help who would just run after my Mission Van (because I drove slowly, while taking videos) Consultant : Yes, that was painful to watch. CrisW : All the more that ingrained engraved into MY SOUL that IF we are to help, help DIRECTLY. CrisW : I saw first hand how donations are stored and distributed. CrisW : And some just get “stored”. CrisW : Which was very sad for me to see and notice and realize. Consultant : I remember you said some organization told you they have to move to a “bigger disaster” because the disaster there only affected a certain amount of households. CrisW :YES! Yeah, my jaw dropped to the floor. It’s sad. it seemed like they took photo ops, got donations, and then moved on to the next photo ops. CrisW : That’s why I ended up going there daily for a month. Heck that time, my son was locked down in his apartment too. I was locked down here, but I was a “necessary” weirdo who just drove out with my Mission Van big rig and stuffed it with stuff I could donate directly. Consultant : You weren’t scared of COVID? CrisW : I was more scared of stupidity. It’s a virus, I wrote an article about it and kept it published at SH. CrisW : If I was to get it, I’d much rather do it while helping out. If it was as deadly as the media put it, the FEAR of it caused more deaths. In my family, two died, from heart attacks. A couple of friends did too, but they did because they were frontliners, WHO HAD comorbidities – other conditions that made them vulnerable to it. CrisW : OK, we’re getting sidetracked! LOL! Consultant :HAHAHA! I’ll copy this before it disappears. Consultant : Sidenote, I watched what JP had on their website. Consultant : You basically said the same thing on your old blog before CrisW : What about? Consultant : That writing / journaling is useful to organize your thoughts. CrisW :Yes, look at how unorganized this chat session is! Hahaha! We’re firing up neurotransmitters and bouncing off ideas. CrisW : Then when we focus on coding or studying the code, we get stuff done. CrisW : Not everything is a step by step with people who create the step by step training. 🙂 CrisW : We study the clutter and get rid of the clutter and sift what’s important. Consultant : I like the UIX you did to the CLG Chat Box, we haven’t checked if we can add images here. CrisW : Okay, you test it. I’m going to give what Brute suggested a shot. He said Jeff had a contact page we can use. CrisW : So we might be able to use the Job Functionality, and then just have people send or copy paste their resume in text format. Brilliant idea! Consultant :Yeah!!! Well, at least the 6 hours we used test driving the Job App won’t be put to waste! CrisW : Hey copy this now.. we go from there, and test the contact, and merge it with the Job App. Consultant : Cool. We go back to comments and then just ring this bell here. CrisW : I have the Comments Tab open on the back end, I see comments as they come in. CrisW : So just refresh the page often Consultant :Sys would be so angry cleaning up the emails! CrisW : Yes, he is complaining. 🙂 CrisW : But that’s what Admins do. I prefer Front End than Back end. But I prefer Face to Face than Front End. CrisW : That’s why I am going to write the Blog Post on Lessons Learned, for all of you to look back to, and copy paste on your own portals. Consultant : I always learn something when we do this! CrisW : Yes, me too! CrisW : OK Let’s go. Please copy paste. CrisW : See ya later. Consultant : Ok
I vote keep it as is. Keep it simple remember?
And I like and prefer what we have here than P2. It’s all here, easier to migrate!
I just thought about this. Before we test the Job App again with the Contact Form… ANY website member can post ANY job, and then the APPLY FOR JOB link, displays the Job Poster’s Email address.
So if we change this to a URL, where the Contact Form is, we would still have to double check the URL, in case others post other external URLs….
OR, we can just create another Forum that has Classified Ads on it.
FOR HIRE, FOR RENT, JOBS. etc.
I can just activate the Private Messaging again. Just thinking out loud here. 🙂 I am just having trepidations about exposing email addresses because THAT is a privacy nightmare, and some people don’t really care that much anymore about that, but we do care here. 🙂
YES! Simpler! Then maybe we can reactivate the PM too.
My concern is the amount of auto emails this will generate that might be considered spam.
I checked in with SYS, the Comments section is generating a whole lot!
The Forum also generate a lot of auto emails getting sent.

Consultant : I remember you said some organization told you they have to move to a “bigger disaster” because the disaster there only affected a certain amount of households.
CrisW :YES! Yeah, my jaw dropped to the floor. It’s sad. it seemed like they took photo ops, got donations, and then moved on to the next photo ops.
CrisW : That’s why I ended up going there daily for a month. Heck that time, my son was locked down in his apartment too. I was locked down here, but I was a “necessary” weirdo who just drove out with my Mission Van big rig and stuffed it with stuff I could donate directly.
Consultant : You weren’t scared of COVID?
CrisW : I was more scared of stupidity. It’s a virus, I wrote an article about it and kept it published at SH.
CrisW : If I was to get it, I’d much rather do it while helping out. If it was as deadly as the media put it, the FEAR of it caused more deaths. In my family, two died, from heart attacks. A couple of friends did too, but they did because they were frontliners, WHO HAD comorbidities – other conditions that made them vulnerable to it.
CrisW : OK, we’re getting sidetracked! LOL!
Consultant :HAHAHA! I’ll copy this before it disappears.
Consultant : Sidenote, I watched what JP had on their website.
Consultant : You basically said the same thing on your old blog before
CrisW : What about?
Consultant : That writing / journaling is useful to organize your thoughts.
CrisW :Yes, look at how unorganized this chat session is! Hahaha! We’re firing up neurotransmitters and bouncing off ideas.
CrisW : Then when we focus on coding or studying the code, we get stuff done.
CrisW : Not everything is a step by step with people who create the step by step training. 🙂
CrisW : We study the clutter and get rid of the clutter and sift what’s important.
Consultant : I like the UIX you did to the CLG Chat Box, we haven’t checked if we can add images here.
CrisW : Okay, you test it. I’m going to give what Brute suggested a shot. He said Jeff had a contact page we can use.
CrisW : So we might be able to use the Job Functionality, and then just have people send or copy paste their resume in text format. Brilliant idea!
Consultant :Yeah!!! Well, at least the 6 hours we used test driving the Job App won’t be put to waste!
CrisW : Hey copy this now.. we go from there, and test the contact, and merge it with the Job App.
Consultant : Cool. We go back to comments and then just ring this bell here.
CrisW : I have the Comments Tab open on the back end, I see comments as they come in.
CrisW : So just refresh the page often
Consultant :Sys would be so angry cleaning up the emails!
CrisW : Yes, he is complaining. 🙂
CrisW : But that’s what Admins do. I prefer Front End than Back end. But I prefer Face to Face than Front End.
CrisW : That’s why I am going to write the Blog Post on Lessons Learned, for all of you to look back to, and copy paste on your own portals.
Consultant : I always learn something when we do this!
CrisW : Yes, me too!
CrisW : OK Let’s go. Please copy paste.
CrisW : See ya later.
Consultant : Ok
I vote keep it as is. Keep it simple remember?
And I like and prefer what we have here than P2. It’s all here, easier to migrate!
I just thought about this. Before we test the Job App again with the Contact Form… ANY website member can post ANY job, and then the APPLY FOR JOB link, displays the Job Poster’s Email address.
So if we change this to a URL, where the Contact Form is, we would still have to double check the URL, in case others post other external URLs….
OR, we can just create another Forum that has Classified Ads on it.
FOR HIRE, FOR RENT, JOBS. etc.
I can just activate the Private Messaging again. Just thinking out loud here. 🙂 I am just having trepidations about exposing email addresses because THAT is a privacy nightmare, and some people don’t really care that much anymore about that, but we do care here. 🙂
YES! Simpler! Then maybe we can reactivate the PM too.
My concern is the amount of auto emails this will generate that might be considered spam.
I checked in with SYS, the Comments section is generating a whole lot!
The Forum also generate a lot of auto emails getting sent.
Something we can think about and consider.
