Successful update to 7.4.8. Looking good!

I found out the problem. I had named the template file in small case but in calling the template name I had it as a Capital letter. Took the capital away and the content is now displaying on the site.

Perch is working better since the 3.1.7 update.

I have an ongoing issue with running a Service Worker, bringing the Perch Login to an unfound page but all in all the update has improved performance.

One thing I had to do though,…

if I or others can help in any way, don’t hesitate to ask! You don’t have to tackle this alone. Looking at the conversations in the slack channel there are others who would like to aid.

Maybe describe what your problems are or show…

I think most of us would support a change if it meant Perch would survive or even thrive.

Either way, the update and the…

Up next, I'm looking at putting some of the add-ons into GitHub. That's not always as straightforward as you think, as I need to check the licensing for any dependancies etc. But my intention is to begin with Blog.

Hi Drew,

It really is a shame. I’ve been using perch since around 2012 maybe... both for sites working for previous employers, personal sites and more recently for my own freelance clients. It’s been an easy recommendation. Initially because the first hand…

Vapid looks interesting. I haven't tried it yet but it seems fairly close to Perch's approach. Also interesting that it's open source with a small group of contributors. That would be a better model for Perch than the current astonishing levels of…

That is a lot of views. They have explained that Perch is not as much of a priority for them, but I didn't expect this much neglect.

This thread has 40k views! Forty thousand Perch users want information about Perch 4...

Such a shame this project is no longer a priority for the Perch team.
