On Sunday, June 16, IS&T will complete transition of the BU WordPress Content Management System (CMS) to a new technical infrastructure. More than a year of work and preparation has gone into this project, and BU web publishers will benefit from improved reliability, stability, and scalability of BU WordPress once this rollover is complete.<\/p>\n

This transition involves a series of production changes between 6\/2\/2013 and 6\/16\/2013. \u00a0These changes are not expected to disrupt front-end web services — sites should remain fully browsable throughout. However, content edits, form submissions, and comments will be impacted during the following times while BU WordPress is in maintenance mode:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sunday, June 2, <\/strong>2013 – 12am to 6am<\/b>: Content edits, comments, and most form submissions will be temporarily disabled for the duration of this work on all BU WordPress-based websites.
    \nUPDATE 6\/2\/13:<\/strong> This stage of the work was completed at 3:40am. WordPress service was returned to normal operations at that time.<\/li>\n
  2. Sunday, June 1<\/strong>6, 2013 – 12am to 6am<\/b>:\u00a0Content edits, comments, and most form submissions will be temporarily disabled for the duration of this work\u00a0on all BU WordPress-based websites.<\/li>\n
  3. June 2, 2013 through June 16, 2013<\/b>: Web team developers and designers will observe a code freeze \u00a0— new website requests and site launch requests will require additional review, and may be deferred until after 06\/17.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/b><\/p>\n

    If you have any comments, questions, or concerns about this planned maintenance or WordPress in general, please contact the IT Help Center\u00a0online<\/a>, via email to ithelp@bu.edu<\/a>, or by phone at 617-353-HELP (4357).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
