 * I can not understand why, once the tournament has reached the final of the world
   championship, setting the matchtype for the final, the game linked to it does
   not appear on the POOL page and, in the list of matches, despite the date is 
   following the current one, it appears to me as the first among the games already
   played.
 * I had to connect the match to the “Semifinal” matchtype, to be able to see them
   on the pool page.
 * You already have the account as a football pool admin, can you have a look?
    
   Please just remember that the tournament is running and that I can not afford
   to lose data.

 * Please check if the setting for “visible on the website” for the match type for
   the final is set to true.
 * I may have an account, but I don’t always keep that information. So, if the above
   suggestion does not help, then please reset my password and send me the new credentials.

 * the variable “visible on the website” is “on”. Everything is exactly like the
   other matchtype.
    you can log in with your email and ask for the password reset
   independently. If you need more privileges, you can ask me.

 * The matches are not hidden when you select the “final” match type, they are moved
   to the last page in your pagination. The problem is the combination of multiple
   extension plugins that don’t work together that well. My guess is that you have
   pagination and only show open matches. So, a couple of options come to mind as
   a solution:
    1. Combine the extensions and make them work together (requires PHP skills).
    2. Disable one of the plugins (pagination?) for the matches page.
    3. Change the plugin option for ordering of matches to Date desc. That will make
       sure the match type ordering does not push the matches to the last page.
 * HTH.

 * if I disable the “pagination” plugin, the games appear on the “pool” page. However,
   the games are incorrectly displayed at the end of the “user” page.
    I do not 
   understand why the “pagination” plugin has always worked well and only now is
   giving these problems

 * It is not that the pagination plugin always worked correctly in your situation.
   You just never saw the ‘problem’ because matches always appeared on the first
   page. I think the problem lies in the fact that both “open matches” and pagination
   filter the same data set and while these extensions work fine on their own, the
   combination of the two gives this problem. Pagination thinks their are 64 items
   and makes 7 pages. But “open matches” filters out 62 matches. Giving you 6 empty
   pages with no data.
 * Because you have the matches ordered by match type first, this gives this weird
   effect that first pages are empty and match type final is on the last page. That’s
   why I also suggested changing the ordering of matches as a solution.
 * p.s. As a temp ‘solution’ you can also change the name of the match type to “
   final”. Doesn’t solve the problem, but at least no one notices on the website
   🙂
