oh wait, deinstalling and installing "fixed" it last time?
#
wagle
does it keep data somewhere?
#
GWG
No, actually
#
wagle
uninstall -> reinstall didnt go south... this is the thing that does "post properties:?
#
wagle
oh THAT
#
GWG
wagle, yes, among other things, why?
#
GWG
It does a lot of stuff
#
wagle
well, confirming that it works
#
wagle
.. now
#
wagle
I wonder what I cou;d have done to confuse things
#
wagle
what all happens during upgrade?
#
wagle
.. or what does your plugin do during upgrade?
#
wagle
.. that it doesnt do during install?

wagle, are you updating via the WP admin?

I honestly don't do anything on upgrade in any of my stu

stuff
#
[miklb]
I just wonder if there’s something in the WP repo causing the timeout in the upgrade.

wagle, also, any php errors in your logs related to execution times out or out of memory errors?
#
GWG
Still mystified
#
[miklb]
a lot of moving parts in how that process goes down. I’d also be curious if updating one-by-one or doing update all.
#
wagle
[miklb]: nope

but this IS a tiny $5/mo droplet

nope, tried one at a time llast time

at some point I'll get tired of it and read the "debugging your plugin" docs or something
#
wagle
debug.log isnt helping at all
#
[miklb]
hmm. that’s right you are running multisite.
#
GWG
I never tested anything against it
#
wagle
i'm not stuck, soo
#
wagle
maybe I'll learn something by figuring out debugging
#
wagle
ooh.. i didnt look at the browser console.. sorry
#
wagle
damn kids! they dont timestamp their log messages!
#
[miklb]
hmm. I was expecting chrisaldrich article to be using the webmention-for-comments plugin based on the title. Need to read it closer now
#
[miklb]
oh, it does, just not listed in the plugins list.
#
GWG
I found that odd
#
[miklb]
I’ve been able to reply to webmentions from the comment form without having to manually add any mf2. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#
GWG
[miklb]: His theme isn't properly marked up

chrisaldrich
Thus a prerequisites section before the main course.
#
chrisaldrich
Since many who come to the article won't have webmentions/semantic linkbacks, I wanted to cover that eventuality (briefly), but put more focus on the comments plugin without getting into the weeds
#
chrisaldrich
miklb, GWG: so you're saying if I have better mark up, I can get comments without adding u-in-reply-to?
#
chrisaldrich
I know what I'll probably be doing...
#
GWG
chrisaldrich: It should be built in.

Hello, I recently found out about indieweb movement and attempted to modify my site.
#
tracya
struggling a bit. I had a disqus plugin and i'm also trying to move all my social media posts to a separate page.
#
GWG
tracya: How can we help?
#
tracya
oh hi!
#
GWG
Hello
#
tracya
1) the comments on the blog posts. Is there a plugin to show the comments without all the default wordpress options?
#
GWG
Saw your message
#
Loqi
[Tracy Altheide] Paypal
#
GWG
Which options are you referring to?
#
tracya
paypal?
#
GWG
It tried to parse your page
#
GWG
But which WordPress options do you want to remove?
#
tracya
I'm just trying to make the comment section look "clean" like disqus
#
GWG
I see the Webmention form
#
tracya
if not, it's no big deal - oh you do? Then I did it right.... yes
#
GWG
The form is optional, though I like to have it.
#
tracya
Ok it just's me being picky then. as long as it works.
#
GWG
I am just trying to figure out what you mean. I see your likes, which means you installed Semantic Linkbacks
#
tracya
Ok here's the big question - is there a way I can keep my blog posts on my main feed and direct all webmentions and posts to another "feed" or page on my website
#
GWG
They come from another site, so you got Bridgy installed
#
tracya
GWG, it's no big deal, I was just being particular on how the comment section looked. that's all. I appreciate you looking into it.
#
GWG
Webmentions are stored as a type of comment. But if you want different types of posts to be excluded on the home page, that is very doable
#
tracya
yes, I did the link backs and bridge.
#
tracya
yes, I don't want them on the main feed, I'd prefer to run them on a separate page/feed like a "social update page"
#
tracya
GWG, I'm very happy I found indieweb and I appreciate your patience. I enjoy working on my website but as you can tell, I'm not a developer
#
GWG
tracya, there is one thing I need to understand. The webmentions are attached to posts. Do you want to not show them on the posts they came in for?
#
GWG
I am happy to help. I am only an amateur developer.
#
tracya
Oh I think I misspoke. --- I'd like the webmentions "replies/like/reactions to my social media" to show on the posts they came in for.
#
tracya
I'd like MY posts that I will PUSH out on my social media to display on a separate page - http://www.tracyaltheide.com/social/
#
tracya
does that make sense?
#
GWG
tracya, that can be done.
#
GWG
One second, looking up a plugin
#
tracya
I thought so! I only saw one example page do this, but I couldn't figure out how.

#
tracya
Keep in mind, I found out about indieweb a few hours ago, so not bad
#
GWG
Try this
#
GWG
I know someone who uses it to solve this problem
#
tracya
I think I have this installed... hmmm...
#
GWG
Add a social category and this would exclude it from feeds
#
tracya
yes, I did that.
#
GWG
tracya, I think you did very well in that regard. We get a lot of visitors who prove we definitely need better documentation
#
tracya
videos! or a screenshot process
#
tracya
that's how I get by... well you'll be able to point to me and say, "anyone can do this." hehe
#
GWG
tracya, we are always looking for people to help document, if you are interested.
#
GWG
But, I seriously thought about doing some videos. Not sure of how good my production would be. Also, things change every so often.
#
GWG
I did an unplanned video at Indiewebcamp Austin last week.
#
Loqi
[Tracy Altheide] Indieweb test
#
tracya
yes, that's true. videos are more timely.
#
GWG
It looks like it is reading your social sharing icons.
#
tracya
yes, I think I can help document, once I understand a little bit more. I'm currently already volunteering for a small web project, but plus keep me in mind.
#
GWG
tracya, you can always write on your own website. We keep a wiki at indieweb.org which can be edited and articles linked to.
#
GWG
And you can always drop us a line in here or through other means for help or to report an issue or feature request
#
GWG
Although the list of things filed on GitHub grows every day as we get new ideas
#
tracya
ok it kind of worked, the twitter post got a little crazy.

#
tracya
oops. sorry
#
GWG
The plugin you are using for the icons is embedding them in the content. That's what you are seeing
#
tracya
yes, that's a great point. I can certainly share my journey.
#
tracya
ok I'll have to look into which plugin I'm using for that.
#
GWG
Assume you are using Bridgy Publish. There's an option to use the excerpt as the Twitter box. You can try that.
#
GWG
I hate that so many plugins embed in the content instead of outside it.
#
tracya
Lol
#
tracya
it's true, it can be redundant
#
GWG
On that note, it is 2am here. Heading out. I am always in here, and eventually respond. We also have others on at different times
#
tracya
yes, I'll have to check and thank you so much! I will look into documentation.

I have my own url shorter but it's on bitly. see you guys tomorrow!

just read chris's post - this is the holy grail of indieweb :)

even more so if I can get the mark up right and not need to microformat manually

It really does feel like magic. I’d still like to figure out how to do it by replying to a Twitter reply backfed from Bridgy

GWG pfefferle if there is any open issues/discussions about what is needed for better webmention support save adding them to core, can you point them out to me? Specifically 1st class comment_type stuff.

yes, are there open trac tickets you know of? I’d like to be versed in that as well when I bring it up Wednesday.
