Following the site move some stored links and forwarded domain names were producing a “no such page” error. We believe this has now been resolved.
Details: If you’ve been using eduBuzz blogs since the early years, you may remember that all sites (blogs) used to have names like https://edubuzz.org/blogs/myschoolsite. When we moved to a shorter URL, without the /blogs part, an arrangement has been in place to “catch” any attempts to visit the old URLs and redirect the visitor to the new URL. That arrangement was temporarily lost during the move. This meant that attempts to access the old URLs, instead of being redirected, just failed and displayed a “no such page” error. The redirection is now back in place, and these old links will still work.

The eduBuzz.org WordPress site has moved to a new server system today, and testing is in progress. This is later than expected, due to the volumes of data involved.
Please don’t panic if you notice that recent posts (since 00.00hrs on Monday) have vanished. Arrangements are in hand to restore these later today and tomorrow.
This is being done to improve the capacity, efficiency and reliability, by having it run by a company, DXW, which specialises in running WordPress sites for public sector customers.
Testing so far has identified the following issues. Please leave a comment or contact us (support@edubuzz.org) if you notice any others.
