Copied Template Testing

Important: If you created a fresh doc connection then go to
Fresh Doc Testing
⁠
⁠

Functionality Testing

There are 3 main functions we need to test to ensure everything is working on the copied template.
Button & actions
Syncing Tables To Coda
Embed On Wordpress
⁠
The first things we want to check is that you connected the Template correctly. We can find out fairly quickly if there has been an issue as usually the table sync will fail or the buttons will be inactive and display an error message.

Button & actions connection testing

We only need to test one button to know if the functionality is working. If one works they all should work.
Check Template Buttons Account
If the button below is green and not greyed out the account is still connected.
To check it’s connected to your account right click the button and check the account value is your account.
Click the button and check.
Create Tag

Success
For a successful test we are looking for the account to show your account, and when clicked the green tick pop up with “1 external action performed” shows.
You can also check your “Coda Test Tag” has been created within your Wordpress site under Posts > Tags or by syncing your Tag table which you will do in the next steps.
If successful you can confirm this account connection part is working and all other buttons and actions should also work.

Syncing Tables To Coda

We only need to test one table is syncing to know if the functionality is working. Syncing the Tag table is an easy one to test with.
Sync Tag Table
Below should be a view of the tag table. If you created your own template then search for the table “/tags” and add a view to the canvas or navigate to the table to test.
Click the “Sync” icon under the title

View of Tags

Success

For a successful test we are looking at the sync messages. It should say “Last synced x minutes ago” . You should also see your tags in the table. You can also check the rest of the tables to confirm on all on the
Synced From Wordpress
⁠
page.
If successful you can confirm this account connection part is working and all other table syncs should also work. You should also see the sync

add your Doc ID
⁠
⁠

Login to your Wordpress site and paste the shortcode within the page you want it displayed on.
Publish and view your page.
