And yes, use the Staff Manager?” is set to Yes? Which is how I am able to going into the list of staff and search for known staff to determine they are missing.

Update: The records in the wp_events_personnel are identical between Prod and Pre Upgrade. I thought that perhaps phpMyAdmin was altering the structure of the serialized data during either the export or import so I switched to Sequel Pro with no change in the end result. So as of today I took a full export of Production and imported into my Pre Upgrade environment to remove the upgrade variable from the equation.

Its as if the copy of the production wp_events_personnel table is not being read by the EE plugin. If I go into WP-admin and edit a staff member via the GUI it rewrites the data to the DB and then in works. But the import of the prod data is not being read (for the most part).

Here is what I see:

I hope this all makes sense, and I am trying to present this info as clear as possible.

Josh –

Here is the problem I am seeing. It appears the EE Staff is not picking up updates to the DB, when the GUI for a particular staff member is blank (no info due to an issue with the sterilized data from prod import). Below are the steps that led me to this conclusion

Step 1 (fresh import of Prod DB into Pre upgrade site) Info from wp_events_personnel > meta field which results in no staff member on site, and the WP-Admin GUI is blank for this particular staff member

So now I want to test that if I am able to update the the DB with the correct serialized data, will EE pick up the DB change. So I return the meta field to the info that come over from the prod db import

Step 3, paste in the following into the meta field for the staff member we have been working with. Outcome is no information for the staff member on the site, and no description or image in the WP-Admin GUI

So this leads me to believe the only way to get this working is not by taking a copy of the prod DB where the site runs fine, but to have to go in and reenter the description for all 410 staff members. PLEASE tell me I am wrong

September 17, 2015 at 7:50 am

Josh –

A couple of clarifications. My last post was conducted on a staging environment that had not been upgraded in any way. It is an exact copy of production in both environment, code and database. Yet it does no function the same way. Also I tired editing out the  characters and adjusting the character count, with no luck.

Using the following string from Prod where it works fine as a base even though by my count the character count for the description field is off. Bellow you can see it says 3459, but I get 3451 when I count the characters in the description string below. But like I said this is what is working in production.

He established the mechanisms for biosynthesis of the major metabolic intermediates in the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway and, in collaboration with Jim Sacchettini, discovered the “isoprenoid” fold found in enzymes that catalyze the major carbon-carbon forming reactions in the pathway. Poulter also pioneered the development of 2-dimensional NMR techniques to study the structure of biological macromolecules. He is a founding scientist of two biotechnology companies – Acacia Biosciences, Inc. (with Jasper Rine) and Echelon Biosciences, Inc. (with Glenn Prestwich).</p>
<p>Poulter has been invited to present over 400 lectures, including the Gassman Lectureship (Minnesota), the Willsmore Lectureship (Melbourne), the Hirschman Lectureship (Oberlin), the Ross Lectureship (Darthmouth), the AstraZeneca Lectureship (Montreal), the Green Lectureship (Wisconsin), and the Ingersoll Lectureship (Vanderbilt). He was an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow and has received the Ernest Guenther Award (American Chemical Society (ACS)), Distinguished Research Award (University of Utah), Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award (ACS), the Rosenblatt Prize (University of Utah), the Repligen Award (ACS), and the James Flack Norris Award (ACS). He was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1994), a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2005), and a Fellow of the American Chemical Society (2009). He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (2009).</p>

<p>C. Dale Poulter (born August 29, 1942) received a B.S. in 1964 from Louisiana State University and a Ph.D. in 1967 under the direction of W.G. Dauben at the University of California at Berkeley. He was an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow with S. Winstein at the University of California at Los Angeles between 1967 and 1969. Poulter joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Utah in 1969 and is currently the John A. Widtsoe Distinguished Professor of Chemistry. He served as Chair of the Department of Chemistry from 1995 to 2000. Poulter also holds appointments as Research Professor of Medicinal Chemistry and Adjunct Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Utah. He is also Honorary Professor at the University of Queensland. Poulter served as Associate Editor of the <cite>Journal of Organic Chemistry</cite>, Associate Editor of <cite>Organic Letters</cite>, and Senior Editor of the <cite>Journal of Organic Chemistry</cite>.

Josh –
I have used both phpMyAdmin in the cPanel and also Sequel Pro to export and import the data. Thinking that perhaps PHPMyAdmin was affecting the import/export. There was no change when I switched to Sequel Pro.

Currently I am running WordPress 3.4.1. in all environments.

Josh –

I also put this in a follow up email
