Changing the Membership system
I will be changing the membership system over to a new program during the week beginning Monday 6 March, 2023.
There will be two phases:
PHASE ONE: I will export the membership data from the old system and import it into the new. Whilst this is happening, I need to turn off payments, which means that new visitors won’t be able to purchase a paid-for membership. Nor will it be possible to renew or change existing memberships.
Group Owners should also note that I will remove access to your Dashboard, so you won’t be able to add/remove members. You and your members will still be able to gain access to the site. If Group Owners create new Choir Pages for their group during this phase, the page will be lost after the final transfer; you would need to re-add it, so I suggest you refrain from creating new pages during this process.
The site will still be available for the searching, playing and downloading of files.
Phase One may last 4-5 days.
PHASE TWO: Once all the membership data transfers have been done, the site will be put into Maintenance Mode whilst the final change is made. There will be no access to the site during this phase.
Phase Two should only take 1-2 hours to complete.
Thanks,
JohnF

Apologies – the site was down for about 3 hours today.
This was caused by a particularly virulent Bot which bombarded the site with requests to search for things.
This Bot has now been blocked.
Thanks for you patience.

Site Migration
Migration completed. There were a few problems, mostly of my own making: not reading the documentation properly, etc.
The new site’s URL is the same: johnfletchermusic.org, and it won’t look any different from before. Nothing has changed for the time being, but I expect to be able to improve various things at a later stage.
If you notice anything strange, or something doesn’t work, please contact me so that I can investigate.
Many thanks for your patience.
