 * Hi Paul,
 * Can you please try entering it again. There was a temporary error with the verification
   on my end (unrelated to your license specifically) that I believe is now resolved.
 * If you have any further issues, please create a support ticket by going to [https://www.fetchdesigns.com/contact/#sign-up-sheet-support](https://www.fetchdesigns.com/contact/#sign-up-sheet-support)
   and I’d be happy to look into this further. WordPress does not allow any support
   for the Pro version of the plugin to go through their WordPress forums here.
 * Thanks,
   Steph

   feature. Specifically, “Custom Sign-up Fields” and I believe that will offer 
   the capabilities you are look for. If not, just reach out. Thanks!

   reply to: [[Sign-up Sheets] On Sheet Post page: Disable last name initial](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/on-sheet-post-page-disable-last-name-initial/)
 *  Plugin Author [Fetch Designs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fetchdesigns/)
 * (@fetchdesigns)
 * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/on-sheet-post-page-disable-last-name-initial/#post-18518810)
 * It looks like you have renamed the “First Name” field to be “First Name and Last
   Initial” and renamed the “Last Name” field as “Meeting”. However, the first and
   last name fields have specific purposes and as you have seen are used in specific
   ways so not designed for this type of modification.
 * Out of the box the Sign-up Sheets plugin will display just the first initial 
   of the last name so I would suggest it would be easiest for you to keep these
   field working as they are intended. However, you can rename “Last Name” to “Last
   Initial” if you prefer users to just be prompted for their initial. This will
   then still display the way you expect with the first name and last initial.
   If
   you have the Pro version of the plugin you can add a new custom field for “Meeting”
   which is the best way to implement this. Additionally, there is a feature that
   allows you to use an admin config to display the full name (not just the last
   initial which in your case would be the name + meeting in full that might be 
   what you are looking for. For further details on that, you can [open a support ticket directly](https://www.fetchdesigns.com/sign-up-sheets-wordpress-plugin/support/)
   since support for Pro is not allowed by WordPress on this forum.
 * However, with the free version of the plugin alone, you may be able to try customizing
   this by keeping your current setup as is, and you may be able to leverage some
   existing filters to make some modifications. For example…
 * There is a filter in the plugin called “fdsus_tasktable_signup_name” which impacts
   how the name is displayed in that task table users see. By adding code like the
   snippet below in your theme’s functions.php or a custom plugin, you should be
   able to override this…
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter('fdsus_tasktable_signup_name', 'my_custom_signup_name', 100, 5);function my_custom_signup_name($name, $sheet, $task, $signup, $config) {    return $signup->dlssus_firstname;}
       ```
   
 * That takes care of the display of your name field, but the Meeting field will
   no longer be output because it’s actually the Last Name field which is now no
   longer being used.
 * Another option is to use the same method and just output the full first and last
   name fields which will at least display both fields in full and could give you
   the same effect. However, you will want to test it out and play around it with
   it try and achieve what you are looking for.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter('fdsus_tasktable_signup_name', 'my_custom_signup_name', 100, 5);function my_custom_signup_name($name, $sheet, $task, $signup, $config) {    return $signup->dlssus_firstname . ' ' . $signup->dlssus_lastname;}
       ```
   
 * Note that the `fdsus_tasktable_signup_name` filter is not an officially “documented”
   hook at the moment. You can view a list of all [documented Sign-up Sheets hooks](https://www.fetchdesigns.com/doc/hooks-actions-and-filters/)
   for further details. Undocumented hooks should still work (and there are many
   of them throughout the plugin), but may be subject to change in the future so
   just something to keep an eye out for on future updates. I don’t anticipate it
   will be very common that they change, but only documented hooks are promised 
   to not break unless there is a new major version update.

 * I had replied on your direct support ticket previously, but I wanted to follow
   up here as well especially in case anyone else experiences this.
 * I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue initially, but recently I did further testing
   on your site and discovered that it looks like the shortcode may have been added
   to a page and accidentally wrapped in a link to the doc you mentioned which is
   likely causing occasional clicks that direct users to the doc. I sent over more
   details on your support ticket to help you confirm and hopefully resolve, but
   don’t hesitate to reach out if I can be of any other assistance.

 * Sorry for the delay replying on this forum. I have been discussing this with 
   you directly more recently in a private ticket and I provided some information
   from debugging on your site (since I was unable to reproduce within only the 
   Sign-up Sheets plugin on my end) that the issue appears related to a setting 
   outside of the plugin that is causing a redirect that removes all query strings(
   query strings are required for the Sign-up Sheets plugin to operate). Hopefully
   the suggestions I sent over help you track it down. 🤞
 * Since based on my testing this doesn’t appear to be caused by the Sign-up Sheets
   plugin specifically I’m going to mark this thread as resolved, but please followup
   on that private ticket with any further details if you find out differently. 
   Thanks!

   I did still had object caching enabled despite W3TC being deactivated.
    1. With W3TC enabled, enable Object Cache (ignore warning).
    2. Flush all caches.

 * Can you please try deactivating and deleting the Sign-up Sheets plugin and then
   re-installing? You will not lose any of your Sign-up Sheets data doing so.
 * If that does not resolve the problem, can you confirm if you are still getting
   the same exact error or a different one?

 * It looks like you may be running a different plugin than my [Sign-up Sheets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sign-up-sheets/)
   plugin. The one I’m showing as active on your site is the PTA one which is a 
   forked copy of my plugin and I do not maintain that other one.
 * In my plugin there are features such as [compact and semi-compact display modes](https://www.fetchdesigns.com/doc/compact-semi-compact-standard-display-modes/),
   but I’m not sure if there are similar options in the plugin you are running.

 * Hey, there! Sorry to hear you may be having some trouble. I took a quick look
   and noticed you may be running a different plugin, the PTA Sign-up Sheets plugin,
   which was forked copy of a very early version of my [Sign-up Sheets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sign-up-sheets/)
   plugin.
 * I’m not 100% sure what you are referring to regarding the validation link… although
   it sounds like you may be referring to your `/volunteer-shifts/` page. If so,
   the PTA plugin works differently than mine so you may want to contact support
   for that specific plugin.
 * If you have any other questions that I can assist with, just let me know. Thanks!

 * Yes, this should be possible depending on how your sheets are set up. If you 
   go to **Sign-up Sheets** in the admin, find the sheet you want and click on the**
   Manage Sign-ups** link. Here you should find the sign-ups for the sheets even
   after they have passed.
 * If you are still not seeing sign-ups here, you should verify you do not have 
   [Auto-Clear](https://www.fetchdesigns.com/doc/settings/#auto-clear) configured
   for this sheet. You would find the global setting to enable this under **Sign-
   up Sheets > Settings > Sign-up Sheet > Allow Auto-Clearing Sign-ups Per Sheet**.
   You then configure the schedule when you edit each sheet under the **Advanced
   Setting > Auto-clear Schedule**. If the global setting is enabled and you have
   a schedule set on the sheet then your sign-ups would have been removed by this
   feature.
 * If this still doesn’t solve your issue, please open a direct private ticket and
   provide your “Site Information” so I can better help debug the issue. You can
   do this by going to the [Sign-up Sheets Support Contact Form](https://www.fetchdesigns.com/contact/#sign-up-sheet-support)
   and make sure to follow the steps for the Site Information on that form.

 * (@fetchdesigns)
 * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mediocre-at-best-4/#post-17861923)
 * Hi Tracy, thanks so much for the feedback. Unfortunately, issues with email notifications
   are typically due to configuration issues with your email sending in general 
   and almost always out of the control of the Sign-up Sheets plugin. The Sign-up
   Sheets plugin leverages the native WordPress email method for all emails sent
   and therefore if email isn’t working successfully it is almost never caused by
   the plugin. Email issues can definitely be very tricky to debug, though, so I
   definitely understand your frustration. Most commonly it is trouble with emails
   being flagged as SPAM due to incorrect DNS configurations or incorrect mail setup
   on your server or WP install. I do have a help guide to assist with troubleshooting
   email issues located at [https://www.fetchdesigns.com/doc/mail-sending-troubleshooting/](https://www.fetchdesigns.com/doc/mail-sending-troubleshooting/).
   Upgrading to a new ISP and PHP won’t solve these types of issues, although you
   may be able to enlist your hosting provider or email service provider to try 
   and help track down the cause.
 * Regarding support response time, I checked my records and found 3 instances where
   you reached out for support. Two received responses either same day or next day…
   one of which was last year for the email sending issues and you received a response
   the same day of which I provided you similar information as noted above and did
   not year back on further problems. The other was for troubleshooting a theme 
   issue which is not something that is typically supported since it’s out of my
   control. I do apologize for the delay in my response there, but it took some 
   time to for me to learn your theme and figure out the solution of which I did
   then send a very detailed response complete with screenshots and it appeared 
   this solved your issue. While I can’t guarantee to be able to support all theme
   issues, I do try when when possible.
 * I hope you are able to track down the email issue and if you ever need any help,
   please don’t hesitate to reach out at [https://www.fetchdesigns.com/contact/#sign-up-sheet-support](https://www.fetchdesigns.com/contact/#sign-up-sheet-support).

 * In my case, it is for purging the cache of custom post types. For example, when
   a specific action occurs on the site I need to set up logic where it dynamically
   purges the cache for one or more individual posts in a custom post type.
 * In [W3 Total Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/), you do this
   by using 
   `w3tc_flush_post($post_id)`
 * In [WP Super Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/), you do this
   by using 
   `wpsc_delete_post_cache($post_id)`
 * In [WP-Optimize](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-optimize/), you do this by 
   using 
   `WPO_Page_Cache::_delete\_single\_post\_cache_($post_id)`
 * In [LiteSpeed Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/litespeed-cache/), you do 
   this by using 
   `do_action('litespeed_purge_post', $post_id)`
 * In [WP Fastest Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/), you do

 * No, I did not find a solution and had to use the purse all cache which I’m not
   pleased about since it’s terrible for performance when all I need to purge is
   a single post.
