Nothing a visitor needs is lost. * While the copy is live, the website builder is **hidden** in your dashboard. You switch to the builder yourself when you are ready; switching back is something only Uplifter support can do. ## What a visitor sees Your old site, page for page, at your club's address and on your own domain if it points at the new system. The pages were copied from your live site at cutover, so they show what your site showed that day. The parts that used to talk to Joomla now point into the new system: * **Member Login**, forgotten-password and profile links go to the new sign-in and account pages. A member who is already signed in goes straight to **My Account**. * **Sign up** and the registration links open the signup wizard. Links to CCM's league, standings and league-info pages open the club's **Leagues** page (`/leagues`), which lists every current league with its teams, schedule and standings. * **Calendar** opens the club calendar; **Events** and event registration links open the events page. * Waiver links go to the member's account. Old bookmarks such as `index.php?option=com_curling&view=signup` land on the matching new page. ## What changed on the copy * **Boxes that showed live information** — the login box, upcoming events, sub lists, latest articles — keep their title and become one link, such as **Member login** or **Live at Events**. The old, stale list is removed; nothing is made up in its place. * **A contact form** becomes a **Contact us** link in the same spot. It opens the club's contact page, whose messages arrive in **Website → Form Submissions**. * **Search boxes** and other forms that posted to Joomla are removed. Forms that post elsewhere, such as a PayPal donate button, still work. * **Trackers are gone** (Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Facebook pixel and the like), and the new system's cookie notice appears. YouTube videos and Google Maps embeds still play. * **Members-only pages** were not copied; those addresses lead into the new system's member pages. * **The address `/leagues`** always opens the new **Leagues** page. If your old site had its own page at exactly that address, the copy of it is no longer shown there. Pages below it, such as `/leagues/rules`, still show the copy. Your members always get the new pages for their account, registration, leagues and sub lists, whichever website the club is showing. ## What happens on cutover day Uplifter's team captures your live site just before the old system goes offline and switches your address to the copy; visitors see it within about 15 seconds. Before it goes live they compare your imported data with your live site. If the live site has changed a lot since the data was exported, the cutover is held and you are asked for a fresh database dump and file archive — so send them within a week of your cutover date. If your old host refuses the capture, the team captures it from their side; there is nothing for you to do. A capture that fails leaves your site as it was. To have the copy taken again, ask Uplifter support. ## In your dashboard **Website → General** shows the banner "Your site is currently an exact copy of your previous website.", with how many pages and files the copy holds and the date it was captured. The sidebar's **Website** section shows only **General** and **Form Submissions** while the copy is live.
