[miklb] andrea.arbogast maybe instead of re-installing WP, deactivate all plugins and activate one by one to see if there’s a conflict somewhere.
#
[andrea_arbogast miklb good idea, thanks. I am starting to think that maybe caching my hosting provider is doing is interfering, I have tried to turn it all off, but maybe that’s not possible

GWG In for the evening
#
GWG Time to do Indieweb stuff
#
[miklb] I’m trying to settle in and get a little done too. My girlfriend had different plans for my Saturday.
#
GWG [miklb]: Good reason to be called away
#
[miklb] oh, mostly just chores around the house, nothing fun 😉
#
GWG I can't believe what the problem was with the timezone selector
#
[miklb] what was it?
#
Loqi It was a dark and stormy night https://indieweb.org/It
#
[miklb] Loqi, you are obnoxious at times
#
GWG Missing quotes
#
GWG Only detectable with a + or -, such as UTC+1, not America/New_York
#
[miklb] interesting
#
[miklb] surprised linter didn’t pick that up
#
GWG Linter?
#
[miklb] what is a linter
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "linter" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "linter is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[miklb] hmm
#
[miklb] A linter is a tool to help flag errors in code or styling.
#
Loqi ok
#
[miklb] linter >> https://github.com/collections/clean-code-linters
#
[miklb] linter << https://github.com/collections/clean-code-linters
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://github.com/collections/clean-code-linters" to the "See Also" section of /linter
#
[miklb] I consider the phpcs a linter as well
#
GWG I am not sure I check for html in my php
#
GWG Is there a way to check when mixed?
#
[miklb] oh, maybe not.
#
GWG Running through Simple Location fixes now

tbbrown Hi GWG!
#
Loqi tbbrown: [chrisaldrich] left you a message on 2017-10-20 at 8:48pm UTC: looking at Doc's page you mentioned, I'm not seeing the webmention endpoint show up. My guess is that you put the plugin into the right place, but it wasn't actually activated, and thus wouldn't send.
#
GWG How goes it?
#
tbbrown it goes well. watching star wars on tnt
#
GWG Coming back tomorrow?
#
tbbrown definitely
#
tantek tbbrown++ tnthd in particular :)

#
tantek what is semantic linkbacks
#
Loqi Semantic Linkbacks is a WordPress plugin that upgrades the presentation of linkback notifications (like Trackback, Pingback, or Webmention*) from the ugly default pingback presentation of "[…] random text excerpt […]" to a much more meaningful and user-friendly display as comments, reposts, likes, and favorites, detected using microformats2 markup from the source of the linkback https://indieweb.org/Semantic_Linkbacks
#
tantek what is SB
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "SB" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "SB is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
tantek SB is short for either [[Semantic Linkbacks]] or [[Syndication Links]], two very useful IndieWeb [[WordPress Plugins]].
#
Loqi ok
#
[miklb] SB?
tantek_ joined the channel
#
GWG I never called it SB
#
[miklb] tantek where did you get SB or is that a typo?
#
tantek oops my typo
#
tantek darnit

#
[miklb] I still advocate to rename semantic linkbacks. Maybe have webmentions-core & webmentions-extended, but I know there has been discussion of possibly merging them just into the wm plugin

raretrack Trying out the Docxpresso plugin that takes an offline document (I wrote in Libre Office) and turns it into a WP post. The formatting hasn't quite carried over as well as expected. https://raretrack.uk/indieweb/scratching-an-indieweb-itch/

#
[miklb] so the function I thought was what I wanted wasn’t, so back to square one. Plus more domestic obligations & not sure I’m going to get much done towards my goal this weekend. 😞

#
GWG [miklb]: Sorry to hear
#
GWG I have a buggy version of auto-retrieve for the Post-UI version up. Need to rewrite it so it will work correctly for that and for Micropub
#
GWG If I don't help other people, which is a higher priority, I hope to demo Quill->Post Kinds by end of day
#
GWG Should be easy
#
[miklb] understood
#
[miklb] hopefully you’ll have time for both
#
[miklb] I aim to be online later this afternoon, hopefully after your lunch break

#
GWG What now?
#
GWG [miklb]: Would you set up application passwords to post from your phone?
#
GWG I'm thinking I need to make that easier
#
[miklb] probably not, would prefer just micropub
#
[miklb] I’ve been thinking why couldn’t indieauth be used for WP REST API auth?
#
GWG [miklb]: It can, if someone built it.
#
GWG [miklb]: MicroPub isn't Android phone friendly, alas.
#
GWG If someone solved that problem...
#
[miklb] Why can’t you use Quill?
#
GWG [miklb]: You can't share to a webapp on Android, I believe
#
[miklb] I don’t really share to Quill now on iOS, copy/paste a URL. Though I’ve mostly used it for notes to be honest
#
[miklb] strike really. I don’t share to Quill. eddie is working on a native iOS share app that uses micropub, but obviously that doesn’t help you
#
GWG [miklb]: For now, I did both today
#
[miklb] both?
#
GWG Post Kinds enhances Micropub requests with the parsed data
#
[miklb] 🎉
#
GWG Needs some work before it goes stable, but...
#
[miklb] I’m hell bent on getting my site up so I’m going to punt on supporting teh h-card widget directly and hand code in my h-card so I can move on. I’ll keep looking for a solution for the public theme as I go
