Update
Hello Beth and Bennet,
When last we spoke you expressed a desire to change some aspects of the site including the size of the main header and the gold header on the inner pages. I have changed these two components of the site and would like to follow up on a few of the other items you mentioned.
Clicking the "view all" button on the home page will take you to a "categories" list that you can view previous posts for each category if you would like by selecting the appropriate category in the drop down box.
Google Analytics is currently installed on your admin panel and you can view your statistics from the "statistics" tab near the top of the panel.
There are still some things left to do, and I would appreciate some clarification as to how you would like these achieved.
I have in my notes "MyParish app times" and it is my understanding that you would like the times of the messages to appear on the homepage, is this correct or would you prefer something different.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Bennett and I still have some things to solve for the new website. We would like to push back the launch date. The earliest we think we can make all the changes is Jan 15 or 16. I will also work on the issues you asked about in this next couple of weeks too.
Thanks,

Hello Beth,
Just wanted to touch base and acknowledge that you want to be launched by next Monday.

Hi Michael,
There are some things on the website we need to fix and have had a recent development unrelated to the website that will require my attention this week and part of next. Our very popular former pastor just passed and his funeral will be a big deal here. I also don’t know how long the list of edits I’m going to send you will take. There will be some modifications, and some of it might be you telling us how it works. I’ll send you a list tomorrow.
With that, I’d like to push the launch to Thurday, Feb 1. Ash Wednesday is Feb 14, which is a big day for online visitors to church websites. That will give us 2 weeks after launch to iron the bugs out. Please let me know if you have any concerns,

Beth,
My condolences regarding the passing of your former pastor. This is completely understandable and we will push the launch date back to Feb. 1.
Regarding any changes in information on the site feel free to send them when you find the time and have decided what needs to change.

Hi Michael,
Here is a punch list of items we need your help with before Feb. 1. They mainly deal with the function of the site. The calendar is the most problematic. Please let me know if you have concerns. I’m attaching this as a Word document, but if it doesn’t come through the basecamp system I can paste it into another email.

Beth,
I have addressed a number of your concerns today and will offer some explanation to some of the functionality of wordpress.
Backgrounds for pages are now white, so as to not conflict with your images that you choose to put in the featured image. Also base font sizes have been increased and colors darkened 30%. I have removed the display of dates on posts that appear on the homepage. I have removed the ability for "future" parish app messages to appear on the homepage.
With regard to the inner "Related Pages"; they are generated based on two factors. The first factor being what the "parent" page. All pages that share the same parent category will appear on the same inner "Related Pages" tab if that sidebar appears on a page that utilizes that "parent". Secondly the "Order" determines the order in which they appear in the sidebar. 0 is the "lowest priority" and 10 is the "highest priority". numbers closer to 0 will appear near the bottom of the page, and 10 will appear higher. I will attach a picture outlining where on the page you can adjust these two components.
With respect to how calendars appear on the page, the only calendar that will appear on the homepage is the main parish calendar. However, that being said, every calendar you create can be placed in its own page. Simply add a new page, that will hold the container for the calendar. Add the calendar shortcode to the content body, set the parent category to "About Us". Then add the new page into the sub menu under the "calendar" tab.
I've taken the liberty of adding all the calendars you currently have in this fashion. You can take a look and see how I've done this process below.
1. Add new calendar as you normally would.
2.Create New page as you normally would. Name the page the same as the Calendar.
3. Set Parent to "About Us" as outlined above with the Page Attribution section.
4. Place the "short-code" depicted on the calendars page into the content section of the new page. Save.
5. Under the "menu" section of Appearance on the main admin navigation, add the new page to the menu and drag it to the "calendar" tab under about us.
Lastly, I'll admit that i'm not entire sure what you mean by "hidden page" that has a slider and calendar. If you would be so kind as to elaborate on what you envision, as well as what your goals for such a page might be. I will then be able to tell you the viability of such a page.
Thank you,
Michael

Hi Michael,
I have read your entire email, but will just address the hidden page in this message.
We have TV screens that run a slide show from a web page on our site. This web page is hidden in that it has no navigation links to it from any page accessible to visitors of our site. The only way to see this page is to physically be at the church. This is our solution to digital signage.
I need to create a hidden page with a slider or picture gallery to run on our digital signage, but don’t want people to access it online. Let me know if that is possible.
I am going through the other changes now.
Thanks,
Beth

Hi Michael,
Here’s something I’d asked about before and found on another Diocesan site. I think I’ve done what you described. Can you tell me what St. Jude did to make it work? They have a Diocesan website too. Their Preschool page is also not the top level parent, but under Education. https://judeatl.com/education/preschool/ This is how I would like our Preschool page to have it’s subpages listed. I don’t need to have any related pages listed on any page. On our last website, that had a database attached that I could manipulate.
In fact, the word “Related Page” should probably just be the title of the section the viewer is looking at. Below St. Jude has “Education” with all the sub pages listed. I would like the same thing.

I think I would like for allsaintsdunwoody.org to go live tomorrow, but leave allsaints.us as its own site for a few days to make sure we get everything transferred over to the new site. I’m afraid Bennett and I will lose access to files once allsaints.us goes down. Once we are sure we’ve moved everything, we can redirect allsaints.us. Does that sound okay?

Hello Beth,
Here's what we can do, we can launch the allsaintsdunwoody.org (http://allsaintsdunwoody.org) by tomorrow pending that we make sure that I am able to log into the registrar and change the host records accordingly.
That means i'll need access to wherever the domain is located and be able to utilize login credentials in order to make the necessary changes.
With regards to the menu structure, I will take a second look and try to discern if/why it's behaving differently than anticipated.
In response to your "hidden page" I believe I understand what you're asking for, but this will not be finished by tomorrow. Instead we can implement something over the course of next week as I build it.

I’m okay with pushing the live date if we can’t log in. That was one of my next questions. How will Bennett and I log in going forward? And how can we add extra users with less permission? (For example, Lisa Foy, who edits just the preschool pages, or Jessica Duron, who will edit just Life Teen, EDGE and confirmation pages.)
I’m trying not to keep pushing this and to get some momentum with the progress, but if it isn’t realistic then that’s okay.
Thanks,
Beth

Hello Beth,
As per your previous emails we can have the site live by the end of the week this week or the beginning of next week if you are able to get me the log in credentials on the current domain registrar. This will allow me to make the necessary configuration changes.
With regard to your "hidden page" the consensus is that we will be able to impliment a "password protected page" which will allow only you to access the page. As far as the slider/calendar combo, I would like to discuss how you would like that to look before I do a full implementation. That means that this page will not be live before we launch.
Thanks
Michael

Domains allsaintsdunwoody.org and .com are through 1 & 1.

I’ll send the domain for allsaints.us as soon as I can.
Editing is going fairly well. I’m making notes of challenges as I make changes. Here are a few items I could use some help with:
1. The calendar on the main page only shows one event each day. We want to increase that to 6.
1. How to increase the number of posts shown on the post page? We would like at least 10 -15.
1. JS tracking code for allsaints.us Google analytics is UA-33639578-1. Do I need to create new tracking for allsaintsdunwoody.org? I think we do need a new one since it is a new domain. Google probably won’t track anything using allsaintsdunwoody.org.
1. When I view a page with a Google calendar in mobile device view, the calendar runs off the page and a large portion of the calendar is inaccessible. Is there a way to make Google calendars more responsive to the viewers device, or do we need to adjust all calendars to show in agenda form?
1. I'd like a way to change the color of text, or a second paragraph font format that can match the navy or maroon color the site uses. It would be nice for quick links in columns to look a little different than links in the body of text.
1. Why do the bulletins show at the top of a page even when the short code is at the bottom of the page? I’d like to put that feature on another page, but don’t want it at the top.
1. On the admin dashboard, what are the “drag boxes here” spaces for?
1. I want to change the color of the bottom bar, but this is low on the priority list. I would like for it to be either maroon or navy, with white and yellow font and then accent color bars of the yellow and other dark color to tie into the top of the page better. The yellow is too disconnected from the rest of the page.
Thanks,
Beth McTighe

Hello Beth,
I've logged into 1 and 1, but do not see allsaintsdunwoody.org. I also checked bulk register, but do not see it there either. I've looked up the domain and it says that it's registered at "wildwestdomains".
https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=allsaintsdunwoody.org
If there is a log in for this that would be helpful. As it stands, i'll need to launch next week since I do not see a way to proceed untill I can access allsaintsdunwoody.org.

[cid:image004.jpg@01D39E84.5B9D8D40]
I think wildwest is something our previous web developer used; however, the domains have never been paid for through wildwest. I’m not 100% sure how it all works, but I would think that we could reset through 1and1 and Bulk Register if need be. Would you like to schedule a phone call? Is there certain info you need to get or enter in that I could try?

Beth
Okay, correction. 1and1 has another web domain we had entertained using, but allsaintsdunwoody.org isn’t there anymore. I’ll need to check with Kapp Koncepts on how to regain control of the domains. Allsaints.us should be with us
Beth
Beth
If we initiate a transfer of the domains, Kapp Koncepts will accept it. Michael, can you advise me on what to do next?
Beth
Beth
If I am understanding correctly, the current registrar of allsaintsdunwoody.org (http://allsaintsdunwoody.org) is Not 1&1 or Bulk Register, but through this other Kapp Koncepts? You'll need to make sure that before requesting a transfer that the domain is unlocked, as well as you have the transfer code associated with the domain. If you have access to the location where allsaintsdunwoody.org (http://allsaintsdunwoody.org) is located you can achieve both of these, if not you'll need to get in touch with them to make sure you obtain the transfer code as well as ensuring the domain is unlocked and capable of transfer. After that I can get on and complete the transfer. If you would prefer to do this I can give you a call and walk you through the process.
-Michael
-Michael
Yes, call me please. He made it sound like it was locked be we only needed to initiate a transfer and he would “accept” it. I’ve not done this before.
We’ll need to get both allsaintsdunwoody.org and allsaintsdunwoody.com. I think all the other domains are with church employees accounts.

I'm not sure that you linked anything all I see is an email that says "can you work with these". I think maybe you meant to send the transfer codes for the domains with the other register.
My sent email showed the codes. Don’t know why they didn’t come out on your end. I was working mobile yesterday so today I went ahead and entered the authorization codes on the 1 & 1 website. Maybe you can check that it’s correct. What’s next to get our new site up?
Thanks,
Beth
Thanks,
Beth
Next step is to wait until the domains show up in the 1&1 register, this could take as short as a few hours and as long as a few days. It really depends on the current holder of the domain. To help expedite it you might contact the current registrar.
The domains are listed in my 1 & 1 account now.
Beth
Beth
Perfect! That means we will be able to proceed with launching allsaintsdunwoody.org (http://allsaintsdunwoody.org) as the current staging domain site. Allsaints.us will remain as it is until such time you decide to switch it over as well.

Hi Michael, Do you have a status update for these items and when allsaintsdunwoody.org can stop redirecting to allsaints.us and be its own working site? The main items that I think need to be fixed are the Google analytics being set up correctly and the calendar showing more than one event on the main page.
1. The calendar on the main page only shows one event each day. We want to increase that to 6.
1. How to increase the number of posts shown on the post page? We would like at least 10 -15.

I can have .org up and running by the end of the day. Before I begin that process do you have any email links coming from that address. (i.e. email@allsaintsdunwoody.org (mailto:email@allsaintsdunwoody.org))? If so I'll need to know what service you are using.
The status of the items are as follows,
1. In progress of reworking2.Posts have already been increased
3.You're going to need a new tracking code through the google API.
4.We have tested the mobile view on 5 devices and are not experiencing the described issue
5.The color changes will need to be run by the designer, as it's not as easy as just selecting a color.
6. The way that the bulletins get rendered in the view disregards the placement of the shortcode and appends it to the top of the view. This is unavoidable.
7. The drag and drop boxes you can disregard as they are simply areas where you can put admin widgets should you desire.
8.Again any design changes will need to go through the designer.

The allsaints.us email addresses are just aliases now, with the exception of a few. Is that what you need to know?
How do I contact the designer about those design changes?
I’ll try to figure out the Google API part.
Thanks,
Beth

Do you have any login credentials for domaincontrol.com (http://domaincontrol.com) or whomever previously held the domain as I will need this in order to finish.
Oh gosh. I don’t know what that site is. I can’t pull up that site either. Can you let me know what this is for to give me a better idea what to get for you?
Thanks,
Beth

My guess is that if the site isnt reachable on link, that it's whatever register that previously held the domain.
We have an IT consultant who knows about our email. They might be able to point me in the right direction. I've got a call into him. It's likely that when we changed our email host about 6 years ago, some loose ends weren't tied up. I'll let you know when I hear back from him.

The church has had several people involved in the website and emails over the years. So much information in so many places. I would like to consolidate as much as possible. Can I move our name servers to 1&1, build DNS records inside 1&1. That way it's under my main account. Will you support us in doing that and that configuration?

All I need is to know how your previous register was handling emails that are addressed like this "email@allsaints.us (mailto:email@allsaints.us)". If I change over the host records to 1&1 servers any email records will have to be transferred at the same time or will be lost. If the IT contact is able to get a hold of these records that would be great.
As far as consolidation, could you outline what you would consider consolidation? We offer to set you up with a Gsuite account through their non-profit organization system that we could set up as many users as needed, as well as give you an @allsaintsdunwoody.org (http://allsaintsdunwoody.org) extention. This won't carry over any current emails through outlook.

Michael,
A lot of what you wrote is very concerning. We cannot lose emails. We count on our history to operate. It would be catastrophic for many of our employees. Some employees use web based Office 365 only and have no emails downloaded. I need to know why we even need to take such a risk. Please don’t proceed with any DNS records until we have a better understanding of this process.

Hi Michael,
I made a good bit of progress with my IT person today. There have been several people involved with a few different web addresses over the years at All Saints. We had to go through history and make sure we were in the right position to even make changes right now. That is what I meant by consolidation. Going forward, I want to have all All Saints’ domain, register, and name server information under one account.
I can’t answer your question about how the previous register handled emails. However, if you will send me the A record IP address for the new website, I will get everything else squared away based on the work my IT consultant and I did this morning.
Thanks,
Beth McTighe

Hello Beth,
My name is Ryan Ross, one of Michael's team members here in the Web Department at Diocesan. Michael has been out the last few days, but we wanted to follow up with you regarding the A record information you requested.
You can use the following A record IP address and apply it to the www and @ host records: 66.232.99.21
The industry standard will say that changes take up to 24 hours to propagate, but in our experience it ends up being closer to 1 to 2 hours at most
If you need anything else please do not hesitate to contact us. Additionally, we can be reached at 877.923.0777.

Hi Michael,
I think we are getting close on the new website, but I need your help on several more things listed here:
1. New JS Tracking Code for Google Analytics for allsaintsdunwoody.org is UA-33639578-6 (I've copied the verbiage from Google to double-check that we get it set up per their instructions.)
* "Global site tag (gtag.js): This is the Global Site Tag (gtag.js) tracking code for this property. Copy and paste this code as the first item into the <HEAD> of every webpage you want to track. If you already have a Global Site Tag on your page, simply add the config line from the snippet below to your existing Global Site Tag."
<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-33639578-6"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'UA-33639578-6');
</script>
1. The calendar on the main web page only shows one event. How can we change that number?
2. The calendar page does not show March 17, 24, and 31 events. Those are all Saturdays, but March 3 and 10 events (also Saturday) are showing. What is happening here?
3. Is it possible to increase the number of posts as needed or is that something we will always have to do through you?
4. I don't want to hide the dots on the home page metaslider; however, the mouse over feature on the bar below interferes with using the dots.
5. How do I get design changes made? Do I contact a designer directly?
6. I need the numbers of the maroon, navy and gold colors we are using to coordinate other church materials.
Best,

Hello Beth,
With regards to the calendar, I am able to make some changes. I'm not sure what you mean by increasing the number of posts, if you could expound on that I would appreciate it. The design changes would, in fact, need to go through a designer.
The colors are as follows: maroon: #722221
blue: #283555
yellow: #DAAD58

There are 3 posts on the main page under news and events. Can we increase that number?
Who is the designer? How do I contact them?
