Loqi Countdown set by [tantek] on 2024-10-19 at 1:14am UTC
#
Loqi [tantek] suggests filing a new issue on https://github.com/cssbattle/forum/issues to request Web Sign-in (IndieAuth + RelMeAuth) support as an alternative to Sign-in with Twitter and Sign-in with Google.

[snarfed] [jamietanna] thanks for the heads up on the errant replies and likes on my home page! definitely unintentional, and embarrassing. it's happened a few times recently, I think when micropub requests to wordpress get cut off when they're partially processed, and the db writes aren't transactional. will raise with GWG etc
#
[Joe_Crawford] [gRegorLove] I do a cron with `cd /path/to/wordpress/installation/directory/`
#
[Joe_Crawford] `/path/to/wp core update;`
#
[Joe_Crawford] `/path/to/wp theme update --all;` for each WP site I run. Like weekly.
#
[Joe_Crawford] `/path/to/wp plugin update --all;`
#
[Joe_Crawford] Using WP CLI https://wp-cli.org/
#
gRegor Thank you! Will check this out

#
gRegor Ever run into issues with breaking changes in plugins that aren't easy to resolve, like needing to pin to a specific version of a plugin?
#
gRegor A rare case like that is still preferable to malware tho
#
[Joe_Crawford] I've not. But one can run the update without `--all` and just do one at a time
#
[Joe_Crawford] I also swear by WordFence (free edition is fine) for interrogating the filesystem for intrusions and weird behavior.
#
gRegor Yeah, we use Wordfence religiously
#
gRegor At this point, also very tempted to disable the option for them to install plugins :D
#
[Joe_Crawford] `wp plugin update redirection`
#
[Joe_Crawford] `*Success:* Plugin already updated.` - this is what the update for a single plugin looks like
#
[Joe_Crawford] also a reasonable way to limit them
#
[tantek] gently nudges toward #indieweb-wordpress 🙂
