Family History Discovery Invitations Not Showing Temple Opportunities
None of the 114 members of my ward with a FamilySearch account show any temple opportunities I can send an invite to them to help them evaluate and submit their ancestors name to the Temple. Has temple opportunities been eliminated from that help feature?

I just has a look at, the "Campaign", to help "Ward/Branch, Temple and Family History, Consultants, for their respective Wards/Branches, regarding, "Hints"; "Temple Opportunities"; and, "Messages", for Members of one's Ward/Branch ...
.
https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/patrons
.
And ...
.
'Yes' ...
'FamilySearch' has (ie. to put it nicely) "Changed" things up, somewhat ...
But, not for the better ...
.
Now ...
.
That 'Link', in that "Campaign", is ONLY, a link to a Members, "Notifications"; and, their "Discovery" 'Messages'.
.
The problem/issue being that "Discovery" 'Messages' AUTOMATICALLY get "Deleted" (by the "System") - hopefully, it is ONLY after such 'Messages', have been read/accessed; but, I am not so sure.
.
I would suggest, that the better 'Link' to use would be the 'Home'/'Landing' page/screen of 'FamilySearch':
as, that page/screen has "Recommended Tasks', which includes, both, "Hints" and; "Temple Opportunities", individually, for each Member (User/Patron).
.
Those "Discovery" 'Messages' are far to volatile, disappearing AUTOMATICALLY, rather than being "Deleted" by the User/Patron.
.
Again, 'Yes' ... things have been a "Change"
.
But ...
That said ...
.
In answer to your 'Question' ...
.
'NO', "Temple Opportunities" have NOT been eliminated ...
"Temple Opportunities" STILL appear on the 'Home'/'Landing' page/screen of 'FamilySearch', individually, for each Member (User/Patron).
.
You DO NOT even need to even sent the Members of your Ward/Branch any 'Link'.
.
You just need to advise/teach them, that when they "Sign In", make sure they take a look at their 'Home'/'Landing' page/screen; and, in particular, the "Recommended Tasks" on the 'left-hand-side' of that page/screen, which lists, BOTH, "Record Hints"; and, "Temple Opportunities", for them (personally).
.
Just my thoughts.
.
I hope this helps.

When we copy the link, aren't we simply getting the same link for EVERY person?

I sent emails to 16 ward members shown on the list. (People I've worked with in the past)
I'm not sure I handled this correctly, and would appreciate additional information and advice.
In my email, I wrote the following:
"I received notification from Family Search that YOU have something waiting for you at Family Search.
The below link is the same for each member, but will take each member to their own Family Search Messages page and show them their most recent messages.
Thus, since I don’t use your password, I am unable to tell you what is waiting there for you. Check it out!
I included a screen shot of the legend.
_______________________________________________
It would be very helpful to have a box beside each member's name. Thus, I could have marked which members were sent emails by me (so this is not repeated by my fellow ward consultants).

Temple opportunities are still available here: https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/temple-ord-ready
The invitation list is based on messages they received. Those messages are automatically cleaned up after a period of time. Because FamilySearch has not sent out those messages in a while due to the temples being closed, no one has those messages in their inbox right now.
