Scope and limitations
Know what is verified, what is bounded, and what is not yet supported.
Release scope
These docs apply to MetaSprout for Cadmium Education Harvester. Start on a staging site; staging and local installs are free. Cadmium Expo Harvester is planned for a future release.
Use native mysqli/InnoDB and plan at least 256 MB PHP memory. Dense local testing approached 214 MB; real-host resource use varies.
Verification completed
Server-side compatibility suites passed WordPress 6.6 and 7.1.3 with PHP 8.2.29 and 8.4.18. Hosted testing covered xCloud, GoDaddy, WP Engine, Cloudways, Kinsta and AWS.
Hosted checks included a full unattended Cadmium Education Harvester import, failed-feed preservation, interrupted-worker recovery, ZIP upgrades, public displays and automatic FastCGI clearing. The representative live import contained 58 presentations and 153 presenters, not a maximum-size live conference.
The customer-portal ZIP and licensed WordPress update package matched the tested artifact. Existing license, layouts, permissions and imported data survived the update.
Not yet certified
Withdrawn-presentation and deleted-presenter interpretation await Cadmium definitions.
Multisite is not supported. Other cache/CDN combinations, database drop-ins, PHP 8.3, older-editor browser workflows and a complete accessibility/physical-device matrix are not certified. Hosted peak memory and maximum-feed throughput were not measured.
Not included
There is no Expo connector, automatic event-archive shortcode, presenter-by-ID shortcode picker, full-event calendar subscription, or supported child-theme template-override contract described by this release.
Features outside this release’s documented scope are not available yet.
