Posted on Fri, June 1 2018 by Makky Fung

At the end of school year, parents are recommended to unsubscribe to your child’s teacher websites.

To unsubscribe,

Step 1: Look at the bottom of email updates that you get from your class blog and click on the UNSUBSCRIBE NOW link. (see below pictures as an example)

Step 2: Then it will open your internet browser and you will see a message from Feed Burner. Click on the button that says: Yes, unsubscribe me now

Step 3: Then you will see a confirmation message that means you are done with the process and you won’t receive any more update notification from this website.

Backup and Restore your WordPress Blog and Portfolio (for Leavers)

Posted on Fri, April 27 2018 by Makky Fung

Here is the link to the tutorial that will teach you how to export the WordPress blog (or the student iFolio) and import it in a new personal WordPress site. In the process, you will be asked to put in the staff or students’ credentials to access the site.

Student blog site address is : http://sites.cdnis.edu.hk/students/

If a leaving student has a WordPress account, it can be exported and imported onto a new personal WordPress account. Please be reminded that the free WordPress personal blog doesn’t restore your media files (ie. photos, videos, audio files). If needed, after importing onto a new site, the media files could be downloaded to a personal space for storage. Or choose to apply for a paid (with media) WordPress account at https://wordpress.com/.

Students should export their WordPress files before the last day of attending CDNIS. After that the account will be disabled.

See this video tutorial (https://vimeo.com/116316322) for instructions.
