Website LIVE Migration

Post by mingram »

The new CHGPA website is ready to go LIVE! I'm very excited. Please expect some downtime while we replace the homepage with the new WordPress site. We're staying with our current host, so the Forum, email accounts, and listserv should be accessible during the migration. Please let me know if you have any concerns.

No. The old homepage will be replaced. I have added links to the old content like skyline. All of the old content will still be available. Is there something specific that you want to make sure is preserved? If so, please let me know.

Matt,
The Site Photos page at
http://chgpa.org/SiteInfo/SitePhotos/site_photos.html
is out of date for several of our sites: Woodstock, Fisher Road, & Bill's Hill.
I recommend deleting it from the new site, if you have not already done so.
We can rebuild it sometime using images captured from Google Earth and new overlay info.

We're LIVE!!! Check out https://chgpa.org/ (Note: You don't have to use https, http will work fine. I'm still trying to figure out how to redirect all requests to https automatically.)

Membership
For existing dues-paying CHGPA members - you will need to register as a new member. Since you've already paid, choose the [Dues Paid (Please Identify Payment Method)] = Cash or Check, and I will manually approve your account.

If you haven't paid your dues, now is a great time to do it! The Paypal integration is Live!

Please let me know if you see anything not working, or if you have any suggestions. Or if you'd like to become an admin and help with keeping the site up-to-date. Or if you have any content you'd like added.
