 * Hi,
    I am commenting here because I found no way to open a new thread. In my 
   site, I have the main menu with several entries, some of which have dropdown 
   subentries. ONLY IN A SPECIFIC PAGE, the menu subentries do not drop down at 
   all… other pages do not give any problem. Also, it does happen on that page when
   visiting it, I mean that if I visit when logged in as admin from my dashboard,
   the problem does not occurr. What can I possibly check? It happens only with 
   one page, and I edited it and it looks just fine…. thanks a lot! BR Cristiano.

 * Hi,
    I found this thread while looking for a solution to my WordPress 4.9 upgrade
   problem. It is not exactly the same problem described here, but I guess it’s 
   a good place to ask for advice. I have updated a website from WP 4.8.3 to 4.9
   from the admin dashboard and it worked perfectly. A second site (on the same 
   host) is at level WP 4.7.7, and in this case, if I try the upgrade to 4.9 from
   the admin dashboard, it hangs in the “unpacking” step. Do you have any advice?
   Manual update is not my best option because it is error-prone and time-consuming(
   and I need to upgrade few more sites afterwards). thanks a lot! Cristiano.

 * Hi,
    Thanks for your replies [@jonryan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonryan/)
   and @adamkheckle. In principle I would avoid extra plugins, since at the moment
   only one person is supposed to log in and publish jobs. But I understand the 
   idea of relying on specific plugins when multiple users management is needed.
   Your plugin is anyway working fine. Best regards.

 * Hello [@matthiaswagner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matthiaswagner/),
   
   I am possibly not experienced enough, and though I understand the meaning of 
   the solution provided in the stackexchange q&a, I may need some more hint: The
   advice is to add the following js code:
 *     ```
       $( document ).ready( function() {
           $( document ).on( 'wp-custom-header-video-loaded', function() {
               $("#wp-custom-header-video").attr('autoplay',false);
           });
       });
       ```
   
 * Where to add it? In stackexchange it is mentioned that it is not by editing core
   files, so I am not sure.
    Even more complex: I need to apply that solution to
   a site (twenty seventeen theme) that is actually a subsite of a multisite wordpress
   network, so I am wondering if this solution applies at all to my case. Any hint?
   Thanks in advance for any suggestion. BR Cristiano

 * I see.
    So the plugin sets the default for all pages(posts), and then individually
   I can override that default inside the page(post) editor. That makes sense. Thanks
   a lot!

 * Hello Thomas,
    Finally I think I could solve it. It has to do do with a combination
   of WPML plugin, permalinks, and how this affected my LifterLMS installation.
 * I want to thank you for your willingness to help, besides not being necessarily
   a LifterLMS problem. I appreciate that you could find the time to give advices
   in a timely manner.
 * So now I’m updating this to leave a record of what I did, because I understand
   that WPML is a popular multilingual plugin, and my issue may be experimented 
   by others:
 * SYMPTOM:
    LinfterLMS and courses correctly functioning in a single language site.
   Then WPML plugin is installed to configure additional languages. Courses (they
   must be a special kind of post, I guess) can then be translated in other languages-
   just like regular post do. At this point, the course catalog shows a list of 
   courses that have been translated for any given language, but if you click on
   a specific element, the course description is not shown, a 404 page is presented
   instead. The only course catalog that allows to open individual courses details
   is the English one, even if the original language of the site (so the language
   in which all courses had originally been created) is another one.
 * SOLUTION:
    I did a combination of the following: – Install the additional “WPML
   sticky ilnks” plugin – In the admin panel go to In admin panel: Settigs->Permalinks,
   then “Common Settings” and select the “Plain” radio button. – flush the permalinks
   by clicking save
 * This seems to have returned the situation to normality.

 * Hi Thomas,
 * My issue is not solved, unfortunately.
    The reason why you saw everything working,
   is possibly that your browser has English as the default language (you would 
   see the UK flag in the menu). In fact the issue is that the catalog works only
   in English 🙂 If you try to switch to Spanish,for example and go to “Catalogo
   cursos”, and then click on any course, you will get the “Page not found” (“Vaya!
   Esta página no se encuentra!”) It is interesting, though, your comments about
   the permalinks, but I am not sure I understand the technical meaning of your 
   advice, could you please give some more detail?

 * Hi,
    Thanks for your answer. The article you pointed me to was exactly the information
   I needed to check. _“LifterLMS doesn’t send any mail, WordPress does.”_ Just 
   to reassure, I wasn’t pointing any finger at your plugin, and of course not at
   you 🙂 I am actually having a problem with this password reset mechanism, and
   I needed to confirm that it’s something inherent to wordpress core features and
   my hosting server. I understand that LIfterLMS relies on wordpress, which in 
   turn relies on the hosting server. So I can eliminate possible causes of my problem
   and keep focusing on my server side. BR Cristiano.

 * Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. Actually, I am referring to a specific
   email, and I am not really sure it is sent by LifterLMS or by wordpress core 
   functionalities. This is really the reason for my inquiry here. All what I can
   say is that, when users (students) try to reset their password, and an email 
   is expected to be sent to them, they do not receive anything. It happens only
   with users with an email account in microsoft’s domains (live, hotmail). My server
   logs shows something like:
 *     ```
       ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:256 CV=yes: SMTP error from remote mail server after pipelined MAIL FROM:<myaccount@myprovider.com> SIZE=4234: 550 SC-001 (BAY004-MC1F7) Unfortunately, messages from <myipaddress> weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list. You can also refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors.
       ```
   
 * Which means that my site sends the “password-reset” email, but it is blocked 
   by microsoft, and part of the log entry is that the “span score” is 1.5 (spam
   score, not spam index, sorry for the mistake in my initial post).
 * I have contacted my service provider already, and the fix they provided so far
   didn’t have any effect.
 * Basically I am investigating this problem in three directions:
    1. My hosting
   server – this is the most likely cause, but they say they already fixed it on
   their side 2. wordpress core functionality 3. LifterLMS
 * So I have no reason to believe this plugin has some responsibility, I am just
   inquiring to understand if it may be the case.
 * BR
    Cristiano.

 * Hello [@thomasplevy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomasplevy/),
 * Hi have the exact same need: I want to allow somebody to edit courses content,
   but not to touch anything else in the site.
 * I had found an article at
    blog.lifterlms.com/permission-management-in-lifterlms-
   1-4-5/ that gives an overview, and suggests the same link you mentioned: [https://lifterlms.readme.io/docs/filters-admin-menu-and-screen-permissions](https://lifterlms.readme.io/docs/filters-admin-menu-and-screen-permissions)
 * But that links just yields the message “We moved to lifterlms.com/docs”.
    I tried
   to navigate lifterlms.com/doc in search for information, but found none.
 * Is there any other resource I can look at, to define proper user roles?
 * I believe it’s a natural requirement, to allow a user to create courses content
   and not be the administrator of the site.
 * Thanks a lot!
    BR Cristiano

 * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/courses-not-showing-on-course-catalogue-page-sometimes/#post-8982350)
 * Hi,
    I have the same issue, but it’s not a 404 error I receive. What I did is
   the following:
    1. install lifterLMS plugin
    2. skip initial configuration step where I am asked to create pages
    3. start creating lessons and courses
    4. Publish courses
    5. Create a blank page from Pages->Create new (named that page “Online courses”
    6. Then I went to LifterLMS->Settings->Courses and selected the dropdown “course
       catalog” (that had no value specified) to select the new “Online courses” page
 * I understand that LifterLMS would take control over that page, and populates 
   it with the list of courses, but it is not… the page in the front-end shows up
   empty.
 * **UPDATE** Upgrading to latest LifterLMS version solved the problem.
 * Am I missing anything?
    Thanks a lot Cristiano.
