# TeachDemy Child Theme — Deployment Guide (v26)

## What's new in v26 (client's 46-item batch)

### Global
- Footer location: "BC, Canada" (item 1). Header nav: "Experience" -> "Upcoming" (item 6).
- Roles: customer + tdp_student display as "Learner"; new registrations default to
  the Learner (tdp_student) role (item 2).
- Email identity unified: from-name "TeachDemy", wordpress@ -> no-reply@site
  (domain-aligned for SPF), WooCommerce email colors branded (item 4).
  For spam-folder fixes configure SPF/DKIM/DMARC — see UPGRADE-GUIDE-FA.md.
- Legacy "Become an Instructor" auto-mails are fully BLOCKED via the
  pre_wp_mail filter; internal Teach Demy Plus mails carry X-TDP-Internal
  and are exempt (item 16).
- Login + registration attempt limit: 10 per 15 min per IP (was 20) (item 41).
- On mobile, login/registration redirects to Home instead of My Account (item 42).
- Admin users list: "Registered" column, default sort = newest, A-Z mode
  selector (item 5).

### Public AJAX endpoints (used by the page templates)
- tdp_waitlist_subscribe (guests allowed): Notify-Me + Join-Waitlist
  (pre-sale, discount via filter tdp_presale_discount, default 20%).
  When an upcoming course is unchecked+published, everyone on its list is
  emailed automatically (item 25).
- tdp_contact_message (guests allowed): contact form with admin
  notification (Reply-To visitor) + visitor acknowledgement (item 30).
- Both are rate-limited and store entries in private CPTs
  (tdp_waitlist / tdp_contact_message).
- window.tdpPublic {ajaxUrl, nonce} is printed in the footer of every page.

### Checkout (item 29)
- billing_phone required with watermark description.
- Required "video watermark" consent checkbox; phone+address snapshot is
  saved on the order and shown in the admin order view (Spot Player use).
- Wallet balance notice on checkout when the Account Funds plugin is active.
- Crypto (USDT) coming-soon notice (filter tdp_crypto_coming_soon to hide).

### Single course page (item 23)
- "Introduction video URL" field on the product's TeachDemy tab; renders as
  an embedded video (YouTube/Vimeo or MP4) on the course page.
- "Meet Your Instructor" box: photo, name, auto-counted learners
  (completed orders, cached 1h), Show Profile link.

### Pages

  A-Z filter, icons, hover highlight) (item 24).

## Installation Steps

1. Upload the theme: WordPress Admin -> Appearance -> Themes -> Add New ->
   Upload Theme -> choose woodmart-child-v26.1.zip -> Install Now ->
   Activate (replaces the whole theme folder).
2. Upload the plugin: Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin ->
   teach-demy-plus-v16.zip -> Install -> Activate.
3. Settings -> Permalinks -> Save (no changes needed) once.
4. Open the new admin pages once so menus register:
   "Instructor Applications" (Google Sheets settings live there),
   "Learners", "Instructors".
5. Clear every cache layer: caching plugin, WoodMart cache, host/CDN,
   then hard-refresh (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R).
6. Read UPGRADE-GUIDE-FA.md (Persian) for post-install configuration:
   Google Sheets webhook, profanity word tiers, DNS records (SPF/DKIM/DMARC),
   OpenAI setup, and the external-storage options for the 5 GB limit.
