Yoast SEO ("wpackagist-plugin/wordpress-seo")

• Create a new News article
• Select an SEO keyword (banana, car, anything)
• Enter the keyword in the Focus keyphrase field
• Save as Draft
• Keep an eye on the SEO score as you:
  
  • Use the keyword in the title of the article
  • Use the keyword as the beginning of the first paragraph
  • Add outbound links (to Google, or cornell.edu)
• The plugin should register the SEO improvements and flag them with a green light 

Download monitor

• Add a new download
• Add file > Upload file > Upload a PDF
• Assign at least a tag, and a category
• Assign a Google Analytics Label
• Publish the new download
• Embed the shortcode on a page / article
• Turn Google Tag Assistant's (Google browser extension) recording on
• Click on the download button
• Turn the recording off and check the the even has fired up
• In the download admin, check Redirect to file and check if the PDF opens in the browser
• Test the download on mobile
• Check that the download counter is working and reflects the number of times you've tested it

AMP

On mobile:

• Navigate to a news article
• Append amp to the URL: https://alumni.cornell.edu/article/this-is-a-test/amp
• Check that the AMP format kicks in

An alternative would be to use the AMP Accelerated Mobile Page Reader, a Chrome extension.

Native PHP Sessions for WordPress

• Check for error messages (this is a Pantheon plugin)

WP Redis

• Check for error messages (this is a Pantheon plugin)

WPforms

• Create a simple contact form with email notification (to the submitter)
• Publish it
• Submit an entry
• Check that the entry is captured in the db
• Check that the email notification is sent

Events-calendar-pro

• Check that the events are displaying on the events page, as well as in the modules on homepage. (multi-dev db is different from prod, so the events are not exactly the same as live sites.)

solr-power (this is a Pantheon plugin)

• Redo the index on multi-dev   (terminus wp cornell-alumni.pr-214 -- solr index)
• Try search using different keywords such as "csv", "reunion", "homecoming"

wp-saml-auth

• Check to see if you can log in using netid at pr-site/wp/wp-admin

oscarotero/env

vlucas/phpdotenv

• Both plugin are for getting environmental variables.  Since SAML auth login uses $_env to connect to the db and check netid.   All we need to do is checking to see if you can log in using netid at pr-site/wp/wp-admin

• Edit a test page in draft.
• Fill the "Fixed content" module or "Call to action" module and save.
• Check if custom fields and metaboxes are still working.
