@ajtatum, It will not work with PHP8. I recently contacted them by email about this and got the folliwing reply three days ago: “We will make the compatibility with PHP 8 in the next update.”

Thanks again @threadi. It was right there in plain sight:

$updated = $wpdb->update( $table, $data, $where );

if ( false === $updated ) {
    // There was an error.
} else {
    // No error. You can check updated to see how many rows were changed.
}

Thanks @threadi. I’ll give it a go. How do I catch success or failure so I can serve up a message on execution?

@threadi, sorry for the delay in acknowledging your help. I am familiar with the options but I was not clear enough in asking how to implement tbe subscription list script using wpdb rather than with the options table. I think it best to close (or delete) the topic and srart an updated thread in the Developing with WordPress forum.

Was a name entered in the Name field of the form? Try setting a conditional like what to do if the name or email fields are not set.

There does not seem to be much development on this script that looks more like a demo project from a decade ago.

My system has been upgraded to PHP 8. When will be MasterStudy be updated to be compatible? I couldn’t tell why my site had been broken until I found this thread.

Will check it @didierjm. Just seeing this reply but haven’t got a notification for the Mastodon DM.

@didierjm, do you mean I have to register the blog separately as I registered myself?

I added my blog to my profile: Abeng Social

I still don’t grasp how a new post on the site is posted to my time line.

@didierjm This is slightly off topic but I just joined a server and wondered how to associate AP posts from my site with my @mstdn.social id.

Aha! Got it now @didierjm. Seems what you just explained should be in the Description/FAQ/Readme as there’s a need to tell what AP doesn’t do. I misled myself to believe it was somehow integrated with commenting on the posts.

I came to this after learning a couple days ago about Mastodon, which I am yet to see in action but was considering running on my self-hosted server, tied to reviving flagging user interest.

Thanks again @didierjm.

@didierjm, thanks for your reply. Ironically, I visited your site last night after reading one of your previous questions and I commented on your Manu Dibango post.

I’m finding that there’s nothing intuitive for the site owner or the end user who’s familiar with popular social media to which posts are submitted (eg. automatically to Twitter or Facebook when a post is published or the reader who comments.)

I see a Followers (Fediverse) link added to the Users menu. However, in the block editor I don’t see anything related to AP.

From your reply you’re saying I also need to install at least two other plug-ins to get to basic functionality, then readers must join communities to be part of a discussion and enable sharing?

Thanks @seinomedia.

Hi @prashantrai, thanks for your response. After following the trails in the error messsages, I think the fault is in the contact form block of Quebky, a plugin for Gutenberg.

I replaced it with Gutentor’s contact form and email messages were sent as expected.

I’ll still read the info at the link you shared to see if it’s related to the issue.

Correction: The site on which the email works does have a plugin I wrote to hook into PHPmailer with credentials for gmail’s SMTP server but it’s not activated..

There’s nothing to be cheerful about with this reply because it sounds like you’re saying this is a hobbyist app for people pursuing a hobby project, programmed for the liking of the developers and not the users. I could just have easily chosen to use a full blown free opensource LMS like Moodle or ATutor but chose instead to go after having a WordPress integration AND the possibility of importing SCORM courses..

Your answer to the questions are that (1) you can’t have two separate forms for student and instructor registration because it’s just a fancy face on regular WordPress registration. I am sure that there’s the possibility of having one form with the basic username. email, password fields for students and another with the already extended fields created for potential instructors by the admin.

I’d like to have separate links for student registration and instructors because I don’t like the unprofessional look of one form for both.

(2) The suggestion is that the admins of the site should have no interest or option to look at broad information on students in tabular form so they can see who’s registered, what they’re registered for and their payment status, is absurd.

Why should I just want to see names and email addresses in aggregate form? It can’t be that tough to generate student registration and instructor registration forms either as they are programmatically now or empty with the chance to insert shortcodes.
