Session log — Unhide Register Now button on medistage homepage

26 May 2026 · Hasmukh with Claude · auto-published from the local journal entry. A polished narrative version can be requested in any future Claude session.

Summary

Hasmukh asked for the "Register Now — It's Free" button on the medistage homepage to be brought back. The button had been hidden on 25 May 2026 with an inline display:none while the session title and date were still placeholders. The placeholders have since been replaced with the real session details (FCP Part 1 Refresher Course, Department of Medicine, UCT — 19 May 2026 and the 19 to 21 June 2026 live event), so the button needed to render again.

Decisions

  • Restore the button by removing only the display:none; from the existing anchor's inline style, keeping white-space:nowrap; flex-shrink:0; intact so the layout behaves the same as the sister "Browse past events" button on the Recent Events banner.
  • Make the change in place on the live homepage row rather than rebuilding the banner block, since the markup was preserved on 25 May precisely so it could be restored this way.

Changes made

  • Backed up the medistage homepage content row (pm_content id=1) on the VPS to /root/medistage-backups/home-content-20260526-pre-unhide-register.html before any edit.
  • Updated the homepage content on medistage to strip display:none; from the Register Now anchor's inline style. No other content on the page was touched.
  • Verified on the live site that the "Register Now — It's Free" button now renders inside the Upcoming Session banner, with the FCP Part 1 Refresher Course title and date line still in place above it.

Follow-ups

  • Once the in-page registration form anchor #register-form exists on the homepage (or the button is repointed to the proper registration page), confirm the button scrolls or links somewhere useful. At the moment it targets #register-form, which may not yet be present on the page.
  • Consider tidying the placeholder line "Next free session: Register now" in the hero eyebrow if a more specific call to action is wanted now that the session is confirmed.
