[miklb] weird, the checkin post-kind doesn’t show up as an option in settings. I see it in the code, I know the file is being read.
#
[miklb] a-ha. It’s not set to display in the 2.6.3 release.

[pfefferle] good morning
#
Loqi [pfefferle]: davidmead left you a message 2 days, 6 hours ago: I’ve added my child theme to GitHub - https://github.com/davidmead/child-themes
#
Loqi [pfefferle]: [miklb] left you a message 1 day, 12 hours ago: can you confirm the tag/release process for the indieweb plugin?

Loqi good morning

prtksxna Hey [pfefferle] o/
#
prtksxna [pfefferle]: I am having some trouble with the webmention plugin on wordpress, I am new to bridgy too. Could you help?
#
prtksxna I am on Webmention 3.4.1 and am getting an odd link to bridgy.appspot, similar to https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-webmention/issues/97.
#
Loqi [chrisaldrich] #97 Odd webmention with link to bridgy.appspot.com
#
prtksxna I got it on http://prtksxna.com/2017/03/27/published-breathe-to-the-chrome-web-store/, and suspect it has something to do with https://brid.gy/about#appspot, since the link the webmention has seems to have the correctly formatted “like”: https://brid-gy.appspot.com/like/twitter/prtksxna/884177742367002627/866268539291713537
#
[pfefferle] @prtksxna you have to also install the semantic linkbacks plugin to have mf2/semantics support...
#
[pfefferle] hey prtksxna ?
#
prtksxna Ah! Thanks [pfefferle]
#
prtksxna I do have it installed (just not activated) because it incorrectly reads my php version, and dies

#
[pfefferle] oh
#
[pfefferle] what version to you have on your server?
#
prtksxna checks
#
prtksxna 3.4.0
#
prtksxna Its using http://php.net/manual/en/function.version-compare.php but not passing a string, but a float as 5.3?
#
prtksxna I am not sure if that is correct though, I have a hard time with PHP :(
#
[pfefferle] what php version do you have?
#
[pfefferle] 5.3?
#
prtksxna I did comment out that line to die and activate it, but I still get webmentions like that, pretty sure that is a very dirty way of doing things
#
prtksxna [pfefferle]: PHP 5.6.30 (cli) (built: Jun 20 2017 10:35:09)

#
[pfefferle] oh you are way above the requirements...
#
[pfefferle] hmm
#
[pfefferle] but this is the CLI version
#
[pfefferle] you have to check your webserver version too
#
prtksxna Right, I think I am off, drat 5.2.17 :(
#
[pfefferle] ok, then it will not work, sorry ?
#
prtksxna [pfefferle]: Thanks for helping me troubleshoot. I'll try and update it soon and ask bridgy to resend the webmentions :)

#
[pfefferle] the semantic linkbacks plugin uses the mf2 lib and this needs PHP 5.4 https://github.com/indieweb/php-mf2/blob/master/composer.json#L14
#
[pfefferle] your welcome ?
#
prtksxna [pfefferle]: Yep, right, I saw that

#
[jemostrom] This is probably a pure WP question but I would be grateful for pointers of how to do what I want: I’ve been using Independent Publisher v2 for my blog (very nice display of pictures) but I’m considering switching to IP v1.8 instead. One thing I would like to do is to display different categories in different ways not just cosmetically (CSS) but structurally (HTML) but I
#
[jemostrom] … but I’ve never figured out how to this using WP. Does anyone have any hints/pointers how to do this?
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] you can try to use different templates for the different categories https://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates
#
[pfefferle] this also works for child themes, If you do not want to change the main theme code
#
prtksxna [pfefferle]: I updated my PHP and the plugin works now :)
#
prtksxna [pfefferle]: The comment doesn't have appspot any more, but its still not what I was expecting - http://prtksxna.com/2017/03/27/published-breathe-to-the-chrome-web-store/ (see the 2nd comment)
#
prtksxna [pfefferle]: I have the plugin setup locally too, and could submit a PR if you could help me find the issue (if it even exists that is)

GWG [chrisaldrich]: By the way, raamdev liked the PR
#
[miklb] that’s great.
#
[miklb] I made a lot of little improvements to my site this weekend that got me moving to start back on theme.
#
[chrisaldrich] I was just reading through the github notifications when you entered.

[chrisaldrich] GWG++ for improving indieweb friendly themes!

GWG miklb, look at the modifications to _s and Independent Publisher. Might help
#
[miklb] OK. How much different are those from the latest uf2?
#
[miklb] I had planned to use it as a base rather than recreate them in the theme.
#
GWG Some more specific stuff.
