#KevinMarks1can you make it less process intensive by monitoring how much effort it is taking at a time, and doing it in clumps?
#KevinMarks1if you have a websub/pubsubhubbub endpoint, you can poll that once a day certainly

#cdevroeGood Saturday morning to everyone. Going to take another crack at adding some indieweb underpinnings to my WordPress powered site this morning.
#Loqicdevroe: tantek left you a message 2 days, 13 hours ago: take another look at https://indieweb.org/WordPress_with_Bridgy and see if it makes it any easier, and definitely speak up when you see steps that you've run into trouble with before
#cdevroe@tantek Wow, this page looks amazing. Going to read every word over coffee.
#jeremycherfasBest of luck with WP and webmentions. Too complex for me, at this stage.

#GWGThat is the problem we are hoping to solve. I am hoping that cdevroe comes up with some suggestions to make it easier for the next person to understand
#cdevroeI had webmentions working fine (I thought). But some don’t come through I guess.
#cdevroeMy first thing to tackle will be to get POSSE working
#jeremycherfasActually, that’s not entirely fair. Weekends is when I do things I want to do, rather than things I have to do. But the things themselves are almost identical.
#GWGjeremycherfas: I was more commented on blurred lines.
#GWGAnyway, today for me, I have some non-Indieweb stuff to do, but I would like to do some Indieweb stuff
#cdevroeThis is a very specific way to word this: “Bridgy allows you to leverage your site's ability to send webmentions to trigger Bridgy to syndicate copies of your content “
#cdevroeI suppose that saves people from needing to create API keys.
#GWGcdevroe: Exactly. The plugin is just a UI for it. I wrote the plugin, but snarfed is the maintainer of Bridgy.
#cdevroethis is probably the biggest “ah ha!” moment for me in this document
#cdevroe“Prior to beginning to set up Bridgy, know that it relies on some prior set up or installed plugins. For the sake of the details below, we'll presume you've got the IndieWeb WordPress plugin installed"
#cdevroeBridgy’s site doesn’t say that at all when you sign up.
#cdevroeIt may somewhere on the site, but not when you first log into it.
#cdevroeI did not find this to be true at all…. “Bridgy attempts to be as helpful as possible in the set up process, so if you've got something missing or not configured properly, it will typically tell you what is wrong and include links and documentation for fixing them.”
#GWGWell, the Bridgy Publish plugin, while snarfed noted his appreciation of it, isn't in the Bridgy documentation.
#cdevroeWhen I tried Bridgy the other day, everything seemed to work. No errors at all anywhere. And nothing worked.
#GWGcdevroe: snarfed pointed out to me the other day that my plugin wasn't returning his error messages
#GWGI intend to address that in future. The error messages go into the PHP Error Log, but do not get presented to the user.
#GWGBasically, theme support is referring to if you call it in your theme, so I can see how I can rewrite that
#cdevroeGWG … “If your post is syndicated to other platforms such as Twitter or Facebook this plugin will automatically add links to those posts. Other plugins may also automatically add links using this plugin’s functionality as well.”
#cdevroe“If you’d rather this plugin not automatically add links to your content and you’d prefer to add these links manually using a function in your WordPress theme, disable this plugin and add <?php function_name(); ?> anywhere within THE LOOP” (with THE LOOP being linked to the Codex)
#cdevroeGWG Btw, once I have my head wrapped fully around this I can send PRs on Github for updates like this.
#GWGI am going to be doing work on the plugin, so some of them might end up in conflict today.
#GWGBut I will take a moment and update the README. I've drastically changed the settings page.

#GWGIt now has 4 display options, a setting to show on front page or not, etc.
#cdevroeSo, I have Bridgy Publish, Indieweb, Semantic-Linkbacks, Syndication Links, and Webmention turned on. Do I need anythign else for Bridgy to publish to FB/Twitter?
#cdevroeThat is the only thing I want to get working this morning.
#sebselI refreshed before I made a screenshot, sorry. But it had a text about a too complex request / page :/
#cdevroeGWG It’d be great if the Bridgy Publish plugin would at least tell me the tweets were not sent. Unsure if that is possible with the Bridgy API though
#cdevroe@sebsel I’m on WP Engine. Though, hopefully not for long
#GWGcdevroe: That was snarfed's feedback. It should say in the error log, but he suggested I pipe that to the UI.
#cdevroeOK, so if I were to use the_content() on statuses the plugin would add the appropriate link (assuming hidden somehow) and Bridgy would see it and post.
#cdevroeI do, however, use the_content on Standard post formats.
#GWGcdevroe: you could also just apply_filters( 'the_content' ).
#cdevroeGWG How are the links added, out of curiosity?

#miklb anyone around to maybe help me debug Bridgy not seeing a linkback? https://miklb.com/687-2/ theres's a link to the original tweet, tweet has responses, however, bridgy isn't showing that the responses having a webmention target

#gRegorLoveOoh, Bridgy supports quote tweets? Time to try it out.
CherryPuffs joined the channel
#gRegorLove!tell snarfed The suggested HTML for the quote tweets seems a bit off. Is it enough to wrap the tweet's u-url in the h-cite, with the rest of the original tweet in a blockquote?
#gRegorLove!tell snarfed Got "Twitter API error: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'get'" when previewing Bridgy Publish on the web (third time; first two previewed fine)
#gRegorLove!tell snarfed Ok, switching around my markup seemed to fix that error, but when I published it didn't quote the tweet, instead prefixed the quoted tweet with ">". This is the post as I'd *like* the markup to be: https://gregorlove.com/2017/01/i-joined-the-aclu-today/
