Good Day!

I finally published my course. Very excited and my student is too!

Unfortunately, we are running into a few issues. It could be how I'm configuring dates or sign in, so I hope you can guide me with an email instruction, or a video that gives step-by-step instructions.

Problem 1: When prospective students want to join, I have it set up that they register externally, outside of the Open Learning system. I checked to make sure that the link goes directly to my registration page (see image attachment: external link 1 and 2).  However, the page/error has the link going to //course/reidreadycoaching/-reid-ready-training. It seems like the system automatically adds a prefix to the URL.

Problem 2: I want to set up access to modules, the course, announcements as follows, but for some reason, when I follow the instructions, students either can't access or the criteria is not met and everyone has access. Here is how I want to setup things up:

1. Every student, no matter what class, has access to the Modules/Lessons
2. Students can only see assignment uploads and class-specific comments for their class cohort 
3. Student area, all students no matter what class can interact, post and engage
4. Have each class start on a particular date (I tried to set this up in different ways but it still either blocks all students from joining a class--they can't see the page, no matter their class interest, or allows anyone to see the course and try to join at any time). I want people to join a class at specific times (e.g., July Class M/W schedule 7/15, August Class T/Th schedule 8/1, etc...)
5. I want to add due dates for assignments to be completed for each lesson in a module. In one Module, there may be 8 lessons over 4-weeks. At the end of the four weeks, I want the due date to be for all assignments in that module; In the next module, the due date will e different. \

Problem 3: For some reason, Lesson One in Module 1 does not have a "global" setting feature. The other Lessons do, however. See screenshot "no setting and setting"

Problem 4: I added a lesson to a module and now the Lessons are out of order. How do you automatically sort Lessons in a Module?

Problem 5: Can't see the image or understand the Access choices for Announcements clearly. I do know that either I can have everyone view or no one views, depending on what I select. Not easy to identify which selection is the right one for my needs. I need to be able to set access differently for each announcement. For example, some announcements run across all classes, some are for specific classes, some should only be viewable, others students can have the ability to post/write to a post, dependent on their class cohort. But, I don't see where to adjust or make those choices.

Problem 6: Still having issues with trying to delete pages or components of widgets. I have to remove the entire widget. Some widgets I already set up with complex features or lots of files, but then have to redo it because I can't delete just the component or file I don't need.

Problems deleting pages

No Setting Feature for this Lesson in Module I...

...But, there is a setting feature in the other Modules and Lessons:

Not sure how to configure Announcement access as described above.
  

Error message when students try to log on after creating their profile. Students are already in the system because I sent them an invite.

Suggestion: Having the ability to make global changes throughout all modules or pages would be very helpful. For example, you have to go into each lesson in a module to set due dates or access criteria. It would be great if I could go into one area and set the access or due/start dates at one time for all lessons/pages in a module, and/or for multiple modules.
