That makes sense. Anyone who wanted to go with that change would need to be prepared to lose or adjust their custom logo.

Mary replied to the topic The Universal Header on Subsites in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 3 years, 8 months ago
Hi everyone,
I agree with Ed that while it might seem a small thing, the header issues do interfere with what I’m trying to do: provide students and faculty a platform for building beautiful websites. I like all of the things Ed suggests, though I can’t yet imagine how a slimmer universal header like the one on this page would interfere–Ed, can…[Read more]

Hi Bree,
Thanks! I downloaded the plugin and got it activated. It doesn’t seem to have fixed the issue (attaching screenshots). Just sharing in case it’s possible there’s something else going on or another adjustment I could try. Thank you! Mary

Hello OpenLab team,
I’ve just updated wordpress and all plugins in preparation for the spring semester. All seems fine with sites, our OpenLab home page isn’t displaying “What’s new” or the lists of courses, projects, and portfolios. Any suggestions on troubleshooting steps?
Thanks!

Not a problem, and thanks for sharing ideas from others experimenting in similar ways. I’m looking forward to talking about things like this on the Community Hub!

Charlie,
This is all very exciting–congratulations on the funding! We are not in a rush, so a meeting in the new year would work for our needs. We need a help system in place by May, so we have time to collaborate with you on a help site that could be imported and further customized for our installation. Stephon and I have had many conversations…[Read more]

Thank you, Ed and Syelle! This is very helpful. I’ll share our process in case it helps others. We started with a subsite (a project within OpenLab–Stephon taught himself what a new user would need by being a new user and noting all of his questions). We then realized that the help system on the main page might be better and tried to replicate…[Read more]

Hello OpenLab team,
A graduate student working with me, Stephon, has been working to build help pages for faculty and students who want to use OpenLab (we’re really still in a pilot phase of use–it’s not advertised widely). We just discovered an entire section in the admin area (“help” and “help glossary”) that we didn’t realize existed and…[Read more]

Hello again! My last question yielded such great examples I can’t help but ask another one. I’m really enjoying the process of having students revise their writing for publication on our course site in the final month of the semester (we were using our course site as a hub for course documents at the beginning and students were submitting work for…[Read more]

Hello OpenLab team,
Has anyone used OpenLab as a platform to advertise courses being offered in upcoming semesters? I’d like to help students learn about courses being offered in the core curriculum and would love to hear if anyone has attempted something like that with OpenLab (either having faculty develop course websites well before they are…[Read more]

Mary started the topic Snags when students create accounts in OpenLab in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 4 years ago
Dear OpenLab team,
A colleague of mine is trying for the first time to add students to the associated site for his course. He wrote a description of what happened and because it was similar to frustrations I was having, I’ve already interspersed (in bold) the way I interpreted the various snags in the process. Can you help both of us figure out…[Read more]

Thank you! I didn’t have any content on the Calendar page, so I just removed it from the menu.

https://unewhavendh.org/wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=66 (does exist…create as a site for a course this semester)
Does that help make sense of what the debug log means?

I had a hard time getting to the permalink area because of the scroll issue I mentioned before. With the direct link, though, I was able to check it and I have attached a screenshot of what I saw. Interestingly, the help page did display properly when I next tried to look at it. There are still other pages not loading, though.
