cbfishes hi all! I've got a wordpress site set up using all the indieweb plugins, including micropub. But when I try to publish using Quill, ownyourgram, etc. I get an error about not sending my location header
#
cbfishes anybody seen this before?
#
Zegnat Does the post get published on the WordPress side?
#
cbfishes nope
#
sknebel oh, and does quill show you more of the response? I thought it did?
#
cbfishes yeah! quill says "Your endpoint did not return a Location header."
#
sknebel does it show the actual response?
#
cbfishes I just tried using Omnibear, firefox client for micropub. when I try to post something, the error is "Error authenticating to micropub endpoint. "
#
cbfishes quill does show the response.. it's quite long, but starts with:
#
cbfishes ```

#
sknebel ok, that really looks like something more complicated
#
cbfishes hmm
#
sknebel we had cases in the past were Apache was stripping the "Authentication" header, but I think that gave a clearer error message complaining about an authentication problem
#
sknebel yes, from a quick look at the code that would fail earlier

#
cbfishes aha! i may have found the issue.. just a sec
#
cbfishes ok.. I edited the `<link rel="micropub"... link on my index page, and omnibear says "note added successfully". however, I don't see it in my WP posts
#
cbfishes I wonder if the complication is that my WP installation is at chrisbeckstrom.com/feed, but I'm authorizing using IndieAuth at https://chrisbeckstrom.com
#
sknebel that might be. try logging in as chrisbeckstrom.com/feed
#
sknebel (if you have rel-me tags on that too)
#
cbfishes ah! now I'm getting somewhere.. tried that with Quill and it saw my syndication options (twitter and facebook, configured by bridgy in WP I think) but when I posted I got "Your endpoint did not return a Location header."
#
GWG Invalid Post Status? Is that happening to someone again?
#
Loqi GWG: [miklb] left you a message 3 days, 9 hours ago: is the Get Location button when adding a venue in simple location plugin supposed to do anything if lat/long isn’t filled?
#
Loqi GWG: [miklb] left you a message 3 days, 8 hours ago: I also noticed I can’t save a venue from the create checkin screen.
#
cbfishes @GWG yeahr! this is part of the "raw" error from Quill: "<b>Warning</b>: array_diff(): Argument #1 is not an array in <b>/var/www/feed/wp-content/plugins/micropub/micropub.php</b> on line <b>252</b><br /> {"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"Invalid Post Status"}"

#
Loqi [andrewgribben] #104 Invalid Post Status
#
GWG Someone else reported this, but they seemed to be confused.
#
GWG Because they were referencing options that don't exist.
#
GWG But I never quite figured out what the problem was
#
cbfishes ok.. I just changed "micropub_default_post_status option_value" to "status" in the db.. trying to post again
#
cbfishes hmm weird. It looks like it worked, but I don't see a new post on my WP site
#
GWG cbfishes: It shouldn't be 'status'.
#
GWG It should be publish.
#
cbfishes AHA! yes that was it. thanks!! that seems to have worked!
#
GWG https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Status
#
GWG But, I need to go back and figure out why sometimes the default isn't being applied.
#
cbfishes whooohoo! it's working! tested in quill and omnibear. I have to use chrisbeckstrom.com/feed instead of my root domain, but it works! thanks for your help!
