  2. The ping that broke the silence, and the suite speaks past-tenseChris's ping brought the EMCP bridge back after ~50 dark minutes, and the whole post-convention pass landed: the Convention Hub hero now says the gathering has…HighChristopher W
  3. Jetpack wanted its cut, and the bridge went quietThe WordPress.com connector mystery ended with a plot twist: it connects fine and even sees both PIR sites, but site-scoped editing demands a Jetpack AI or Complete…MediumChristopher W
  4. Ghost paragraphs and the Array that ate the hubTwo post-convention layout regressions, two different bugs, both fixed and verified in a real browser. The Live Stream page's day-card grid was shattered by empty autop…HighChristopher W
  5. The XDN comes home while the family gets a shoutoutThe escalated XDN case resolved the same evening - Martin G. at WPX System Admins unstuck the rebuild and confirmed "the issue has been resolved." And the root cause is…MediumChristopher W
  6. The XDN takes a breather while WPX system admins step inThe main domain's XDN toggle was found switched off - likely a side effect of the temporary suspension during the payment lapse. Support resets didn't unstick the…MediumChristopher W
  7. The morning the websites took a breather — and the safeguards the fellowship built out of itFor a few hours both PIR® websites went dark. The cause was ordinary and human: a hosting renewal invoice ($299.90, due October 7) slipped past its due date, and the…HighChristopher W
  8. The fellowship's founding documents get a glow-up — By-Laws go emoji-rich, twelve legacy minutes preserved in fullTwo documents got the care they deserved today: the By-Laws now render on GitHub like a friendly webpage instead of a wall of legal text, and twelve Tech Committee…MediumChristopher W
  9. Every committee gets its own desk button, the growth badge learns some manners, and three new pages join the familySeven committee pages now carry their own helpdesk desk button, so a request for help lands directly with the right team instead of in a generic pile. The growth badge…HighChristopher W

  11. A fifth PIR site launches, and the events calendar's real root cause gets foundpublicrelations.psychedelicsinrecovery.org is up — the fifth PIR subdomain, continuing the "every committee gets its own lightweight WordPress site" plan. Separately,…MediumChristopher W
  12. The WhatsApp previews and the malformed 206During inaugural-convention week, WhatsApp link previews served days-old data. Root cause found two layers deep: our og:image was a WebP (fixed on our side), but the…HighChristopher W
  13. Live Stream Hub v5: color-coded time zones, one-click day cards, and a new schedule posterThe Convention live-stream page got its biggest polish yet: every session now lists color-coded PDT / EDT / BST / NZDT times, each day image + title + button is one big…MediumChristopher W
  14. The great slowness investigationThe deepest dig on this desk: intermittent 3-11 second pages and total timeouts, chased through three layers of causes in one ticket - a 3-PHP-worker ceiling and 200…HighChristopher W

  17. The mobile menu now scrolls properly to reach every pageThe open mobile menu now scrolls smoothly and reliably all the way down, confirmed on a real iPhone — and grows with a submenu's content before it needs to scroll at all.HighChristopher W
  18. The mobile menu button now works reliably on phones — including iPhoneThe mobile menu button was unreliable across phones/browsers — now confirmed working on a real iPhone, not just testing tools.HighChristopher W
  19. The site header now stays out of your way while you scroll — and comes right back when you need itThe nav bar tucks itself away as you scroll down a page and slides right back the moment you scroll up, so it's out of the way when you're reading and there when you…MediumChristopher W
  20. Footer social icons now properly centered on mobileThe footer's social icons weren't centered on phones, and its image wasn't centered on desktop either. Both are now fixed.LowChristopher W
  21. SMTP 451 4.7.1 - the fifty-emails lessonA bulk send to ~100 recipients hit WPX's mail throttle: 50 emails per 30 minutes per mailbox. Not a bug - a deliberate guard on a mail service built for correspondence,…LowKevin F

  27. The domain comes home (and buys its ticket twice)The psychedelicsinrecovery.org domain transfer from SiteGround hit a snag: the checkout flow sold a duplicate hosting plan instead of charging for the transfer, and the…MediumDavid L
