Just to clarify, I also do not want to corrupt a production site, just in case export and switching themes does not work.

Sorry, Boone. Perhaps corrupt was too strong. I just meant I didn't want to totally lose the careerplantest production site in the transfer. Just in case something got screwed up. But, your plan of switching them sounds like a good one. Do you have a sense of how long careerplan will be offline during the transfer?

Many thanks.

Jenny

Probably only a minute or two, as long as nothing goes wrong. When you are ready, give me the go-ahead, and then hands off the site until I'm finished.

Great! No time like the present. We are all off the site.

Looks great. Thanks, Boone!

Awesome! Thanks, Boone. This is great.

Cool, thanks!

Ray, FYI, the new wp cac change_domain tool does not flush the persistent cache - wp-cli can't access it - so you have to do it manually, by dropping wp_cache_flush_site( array( $site_id ) ) somewhere where it'll run during a normal pageload. Lame, but better than doing all this manually.

Great work, all, and thank you, Boone.

Hi All,

When I visit http://careerplan.commons.gc.cuny.edu I am redirected to the CAC homepage

The domain name had been changed back in the database.

Jenny or Stephen, have either of you made changes in the last hour to the site? Can you summarize what they were for me, to see whether this is a bug, or some sort of error on your part?

I did not make any changes

Hi Boone,

I started to fix a few places where the image links no longer worked. Uploaded some media files. Then, Changed some html on one of the pages. But, it was working for me.

Then I had some students come in and needed to meet with them. Figured I would check in later. Sorry if I screwed it up!

It looks like the CareerPlan site is back up with the new theme.

Just for the record, the changes I had made to the site earlier this afternoon involved uploading media and editing this page to get the photos back up:

http://careerplan.commons.gc.cuny.edu/about-2/people/

I was planning on doing more of this tomorrow. Let me know if I should hold off.

Thanks,

Looks nice, Jenny.

A few minor thoughts:

-- the title of the site still reads "Career Plan Redone With Library Theme"
-- you may want to see if you can add just a bit more vertical padding between the CAC header and the top of the GC logo
-- if you wish, you can hide the CAC footer with some CSS; let me know if you are interested in that
-- the thumbnails here are broken -- http://careerplan.commons.gc.cuny.edu/about-2/careerplangc/
-- I find the righthand menu a bit hard to read (light blue on gray). Such low contrast in design is not great for accessibility, so you might seek to increase the contrast in colors there just a bit
-- your "request an appointment" page leads to a google form. That can be embedded on a Commons page if you wish -- see this example - http://cunyitconference.commons.gc.cuny.edu/submit-a-proposal/

If you'd like to work with a digital fellow on some of this, please let me know

Thanks, Boone, for all your help. Glad to be the guinea pig. I hope it's something that's useful to others in the future.

Matt, thanks for the feedback. Stephen has already changed some of these. I'll be working on some of the others.
