Platform Updates

Built comprehensive WordPress articles management system with 6 different layout options (Standard, Full Width, Magazine, Long Form, Visual Story, Custom Blocks). Includes advanced content block builder for creating complex article layouts with text, images, videos, quotes, and CTAs. Custom author information system with bio and credentials, featured articles with priority management, view tracking, search and category filtering.

Complete real-time live chat system with AI-to-human agent transfer capability. Users can chat with Flora (AI assistant) and seamlessly transfer to live human agents when needed. Includes message polling every 3 seconds for real-time updates, unread message notifications with badge, conversation persistence, and two-way messaging synced with HighLevel CRM via webhooks.

Significantly improved chat interface with multi-line text input that auto-resizes as you type (max 120px height). Smart keyboard handling: Enter to send, Shift+Enter for new line. Added closeable suggested actions panel with X button, authentication-aware experience with user context, and better message formatting. Integrated with custom auth provider for personalized chat experience.

Enhanced authentication system with better session handling, magic link verification improvements, and more robust user state management. Fixed authentication flow across AI assistant, articles system, and live chat. Improved session persistence and user context throughout the platform.

Fixed double header appearing on watch pages by properly adding /watch route to portal routes configuration. Watch pages now display with single header matching the rest of the portal interface, creating consistent navigation experience.

Updated watch page to fetch real session data directly from WordPress API instead of using placeholder data. All session metadata including title, description, speaker info, video URL, and duration now comes from WordPress CMS ensuring accuracy and consistency.

Fixed all individual session links throughout the platform to use correct /watch/[id] route format. Session cards, recommendations, and navigation links now consistently route to proper watch page URLs.

Fixed My Access page to correctly display individual session access. Page now properly shows both summit bundles and individual session access with accurate access information and watch links.

Fixed session detail page to use summit management.days field for proper day validation and navigation. Ensures sessions only appear on valid days and navigation controls respect actual summit structure.

Updated My Access page to intelligently link to first day that has sessions (not always day 1). Handles summits where first day might be setup/intro with no sessions, directing users to actual content.

Implemented intelligent 24-hour countdown system for summit days. Day 1 unlocks at summit start, then subsequent days unlock every 24 hours. Shows real-time countdown timers for locked days (e.g., 'Unlocks in 5h 30m'). Users can't navigate to locked days, maintaining proper content pacing throughout the summit.

Built intelligent auto-assignment system for summit access. Scheduled/annual summits automatically assigned to ALL members when marked active (is_active=1). Evergreen summits require manual assignment. New members automatically receive all active scheduled summits upon registration. Consolidated into single WordPress plugin for better organization.

Improved countdown timer with 10-second updates (previously 60 seconds) and detailed time display showing seconds when under 1 hour remaining (e.g., '45m 30s'). More responsive and visible to users. Based on real WordPress summit start dates with active logging for verification.

Fixed daily sessions to use real WordPress data instead of mock data. Uses meta.total_days from admin settings (not just days with sessions). Calculates progress from actual watched sessions, shows correct completed counts. 'Day X of Y' now displays accurate totals matching real summit configuration.

Corrected session data display to use proper WordPress API response format. Session titles now extract correctly (string, not object), speaker names pulled from speakers array, excerpt text properly stripped of HTML tags, duration displayed as 'X min', and featured images handled correctly (string or false).

Enhanced dashboard to intelligently show both user-assigned AND active summits. Active scheduled summits (is_active=1) automatically shown to all users. Evergreen summits only appear if specifically assigned. Deduplicates summits by ID to prevent double-showing. Better distinction between summit types.

Fixed critical dashboard 500 error by migrating to proper BetterAuth API for session management. Previous implementation was using deprecated session retrieval methods causing server crashes. Now uses official BetterAuth session API with proper error handling and fallbacks.

Corrected dashboard logic to display only the user's assigned summits instead of showing random summits. Fixed query logic to properly filter summits based on user's access permissions from WordPress member data.

Built end-to-end purchase functionality allowing users to buy summit access directly from watch pages. Integrated with existing bundle system, payment processing, and automatic access provisioning. Seamless checkout experience with real-time access updates.

Implemented smart related sessions recommendations on watch pages. Algorithm analyzes current session's speaker, topic, and summit to suggest highly relevant content. Displays contextual recommendations that encourage continued engagement.

Resolved undefined viewCount error on watch pages that was causing display issues. Added proper null checking and default values for session statistics. Enhanced error boundary handling for missing metadata.

Fixed build-breaking error related to incorrect authentication module import paths. Updated imports to use correct BetterAuth package structure ensuring successful production builds.

Fixed dashboard background not switching properly in dark mode. Dashboard was using hardcoded white background that prevented proper dark mode rendering. Updated to use theme-aware background that automatically adapts based on user preference.

Resolved grey-on-grey text visibility issues throughout the dashboard by replacing static grey colors with theme-aware color tokens. All text elements (headings, descriptions, secondary text) now properly adapt between light and dark modes with optimal contrast ratios.

Fixed React hydration error causing logo not to switch properly between light and dark theme variants. Implemented proper client-side mounting detection to prevent server/client mismatch while ensuring logo automatically updates when theme changes.

Major upgrade to WordPress CMS backend with custom post types for Members, Sessions, Summits, and Speakers.

Completely rebuilt sync logic to properly create Member custom post types with automatic summit assignment based on HighLevel tags. Now supports 161k HighLevel contacts syncing correctly as members.

Built smart tag parsing system that automatically assigns summit access based on HighLevel contact tags. Recognizes patterns like '2024-summit', 'summit-2024', 'mws2024' and assigns corresponding year. Special tags like 'all-access' and 'evergreen' automatically grant access to all summits. Works for any year pattern dynamically.

Completely redesigned summit editing experience with gradient header showing stats, tabbed interface for each day (Day 1, Day 2, etc.), session cards displaying metadata, and settings panel. Each summit now shows total days, total sessions, and current day in beautiful stat cards. Sessions display with video indicators, speaker counts, and order numbers.

Enhanced REST API to expose all session metadata fields including summit_id, session_day_number, interviewer, transcript_url, audio URLs, key_questions, and treatments_mentioned. Fixed conflicting field registrations between theme and plugins. Created dedicated MWS REST Extensions plugin for clean API architecture.

Built new REST API endpoint (/mws/v1/member-access/{external_id}) that returns all summits and sessions assigned to a member. Returns full summit details with session IDs, years, and metadata. Enables dashboard to display personalized content based on member's access level.

Migrated comprehensive session metadata from CSV including interviewer names, summary sheet URLs, 30-minute audio files, full-length audio files, transcripts, key questions, and treatments mentioned. Updated 294 sessions with complete metadata ensuring no data loss from legacy platform.

Integrated Vimeo video player for expert interviews alongside the statistics.

Added theme-aware logo switching throughout the platform. Logo automatically adapts between light and dark versions based on user's theme preference, ensuring optimal visibility and brand consistency in all viewing modes.

Completely redesigned progress tracking to focus on achievement milestones rather than completion percentages. System celebrates accomplishments at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30+ sessions with personalized messages and achievement badges. Removed demotivating percentage displays in favor of supportive, encouraging language like 'Progress, not perfection — every session counts.'

New gamification system that tracks consecutive day streaks and weekly viewing patterns. Displays orange flame badge for users watching 3+ days per week ('3 days this week!') and purple flame badge for consecutive day streaks ('5 day streak').
