I’d recommend checking out the new page publishing feature. I believe that you’ll need to take feature requests to #Marketplace, as this developer is no longer actively involved with discourse.

Hi @pfaffman ,
What do you mean by “new page publishing feature”? Is this something built-in to Discourse? Thanks.

Hey Chris. See [Page Publishing](https://meta.discourse.org/t/page-publishing/151971) that was added to core a while back. It’s linked somewhere above, but since it was almost a year ago, it’s probably hard to find.

Just a note to [@staff](https://meta.discourse.org/groups/staff) that this plugin is probably now broken. I had to disable it on my Discourse build as it was causing a 500 error whenever I tried posting with it enabled.

Following the deprecation error message (whiteList to allowList in whitelist-tags.js.es6) in console seems to have solved it, although it needs more testing. Here’s [the fork](https://github.com/TReKiE/procourse-static-pages) if you want to try/save a second.
I’ll make a PR in a few hours if everything seems okay.

I just upgraded an it’s working for me. It’s possible that it failed, I removed it, rebuilt, and then re-enabled it and rebuilt again.

Good to note! It could be other plugins interfering now with it. I rebuilt without it, and then rebuilt with it and it failed with the old repo. I am now attempting @TReKiE’s fix with the hope that resolves it for my configuration.

That did the trick! Thanks for giving this a new lease on life.

Well, the site can’t reply to posts and it looks like static pages is to blame.
Edit: @TReKiE 's fork seems to work for me! Thanks! Hopefully Joe will accept the pr. But really, I think it might make more sense to have you be the primary maintainer of you think you’re willing. Maybe you can get Joe to add you, or maybe your fork will be the one people use.

Thanks guys for testing and confirming.
The PR was merged earlier today. I’ll continue to leave my fork where it is however.
I guess we’ll see how things go for now.

Well, I’m now getting an infinite loop when I visit `/admin/plugins`
I also see `Uncaught ReferenceError: Ember is not defined`
It breaks chrome so bad that I have to reboot to get it to stop.

Thanks Jay.
I’ve [updated my fork with fixes](https://github.com/TReKiE/procourse-static-pages) if you want to try that out. Will PR later when I’m more confident.

Is there a place to see a demo? Joe’s demo site no longer present.

It looks like this:

As stated above, you might be interested in the [Page Publishing](https://meta.discourse.org/t/page-publishing/151971) feature.

I’d recommend using the built-in page publishing rather than starting to use a plug in whose developer no longer works in discourse.

Not sure if he still frequents his Discord but might be able to maybe get a hold of him to see if he would consider passing his old project on. It was too bad that Pro Course installer caused some friction. While it needed some more refinement it was definitely a cool proof of concept. When it was maintained worked quite reasonably well. Though once it wasn’t did grant me full remote admin with ssh login full time.
With a few changes could be tailored to only install approved/certified to work plugins based on tiers of hosted installs

@TReKiE has submitted several PRs and seems to be maintaining his own fork.

I’ve built a [dashboard](https://dashboard.literatecomputing.com/) that uses Ansible to ssh in to a site, add/remove plugins and change ENV settings, and do rebuilds. The script is pretty smart and does thinks like restart the old container if the build fails, recognize if there’s a database upgrade and handle that, remove plugins moved to core, and so on. I like for people to pay for it, but for a “limited time” you can join the Free Trial group and use it for free (with support limited to things that I think are broken with the dashboard itself).

Hi Jay the premise looks great. And tbh the cost is quite reasonable imho for the value it offers.

I tackled the broken state of this plugin over the weekend, as well as restored all the existing features that were previously broken over time. I’ve [updated my fork with all the fixes](https://github.com/TReKiE/procourse-static-pages).
### Changelog
- Doesn’t break the admin panel
- Confirmation dialogs work again (and the translations work again)
- Delete button works again (and it has an icon again!)
- New button works again
- Saving/editing markdown works again
- All other required deprecation fixes dealt with
