[mrkrndvs] [wiobyrne] that is kind of what I do with my newsletter. Create a post then paste into Tinyletter. I am sure I could automate it but I actually enjoy the process even if I always feel rushed doing it

jgmac1106 Okay on Day 5 of WordPres only I think I will be deciding if I just need to walk away from WordPress to get this all working. This is just too much work to mantain and everything is still broken. I can’t …

#
petermolnar that's not a good sign :(
#
jeremycherfas I've forgotten what the fix is, but there are definitely little tweaks needed to accept webmentions on the home page in WP.
#
jgmac1106 [pfefferle] strangely when I turned on accept homepage webmention the webmention form now displayes
#
jgmac1106 [jeremycherfas] [sknebel] sorted me out. I think I am in a good place
#
jeremycherfas I do hope so. Your frustrations were beginning to frustrate me.
#
sknebel was there a specific page to collect wordpress-related wiki-todos?
#
jgmac1106 sorry [jeremycherfas] i don’t mean to blast the channel with my woes but I get an hour or so of good work time before kids wake up, and I can’t ue this in class until I can get my system as turnkey as possible
#
jgmac1106 [sknebel] there are afew, what are you thinkin in particular
#
jeremycherfas Not a problem. I have a rapid habituation to identical stuff coming from every direction, and only occasionally call it out, like when someone with automatic cross-posting asks a question in an entirely unrelated place.
#
sknebel for things that need fixing in the wiki
#
sknebel there's a general todo page, but I seem to remember there was a WP specific one
#
jgmac1106 do folks use the discussion page of that particular article to say…hey this needs a fixin"
#
jgmac1106 hey webmentions working location header stillb broken but I will fix it
#
sknebel we don't have discussion pages
#
jgmac1106 I lost ability to log in to wiki
#
jgmac1106 so I can’t check
#
jgmac1106 nevermind just doent show log in status on home page
#
jgmac1106 [sknebel] [gwg] [chrisaldrich] and I are planning to spend a lot of time on the wordpress section of the wiki at the summit
#
jgmac1106 this is the main getting started page: https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started_on_WordPress
#
jgmac1106 [wiobryne] [mrkrndvs] or anyone else using ReClaim Hosting can you try a micropub client so I can try and figure out what is going on? I want to see if you have header issues

#
[pfefferle] GWG?
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Yes?
#
[pfefferle] just because of the change of the indieweb plugin…
#
[pfefferle] I mean IndieAuth
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Indieweb? I haven't touched that this week. You mean IndieAuth?
#
GWG Oh.
#
GWG Well, you asked me to merge the function into the functions.php file. I did. Then merged the PR as approved.
#
[pfefferle] sure, but I wanted to get sure that you know that this was only my opinion
#
[pfefferle] If I write a comment and add my +1 it is only feedback
#
[pfefferle] that is how we also handle it at work
#
[pfefferle] but thanks for fixing
#
jgmac1106 thx for both you do. I watch and lurk on each PR hoping one day I can contribute as well.
#
GWG [pfefferle]: I'm hoping this reduces some of the authorization problems.
#
jgmac1106 when I am not threatenign to walk away from WordPress forever (which happens every day or so)
#
GWG Not all of them, due hosting configurations, but it was the best I could figure out.
#
GWG So, if we can get aaronpk's PR merged, after the empty check question is figured out, I'd say we're ready for a release.
#
[pfefferle] nice!
#
jgmac1106 [gwg] how does wordpress can I work in a local dev envirornment like I do every other app?
#
jgmac1106 I would love to have either a quick screencast or tutorial ready the same moment you folks take a plug-in live
#
jgmac1106 …or duh just send me a zip ahead of time
#
jgmac1106 [pfefferle] yo saw the note that setting a destination for homepage webmentions in SemPress is what enabled the webmention form on my website, not sure if that bug or simply feature that needs documentation
#
GWG You should be able to
#
Loqi +1
#
jgmac1106 well everyone enjoy their day, I can’t spend it in indieweb today trying to sort micropub until my Monday classes ready to launch
#
jgmac1106 I am recording my first UX onboarding video today, not a user story
#
jgmac1106 !tell [wiobyrne] I would love to schedule a fifteen minute video appointment with him today so we can share our user stories
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[pfefferle] [jgmac1106] that is no feature! that is a bug… will have a look! thanks!
#
[pfefferle] can not reproduce it 😞
#
jgmac1106 hmm, let me see
#
jgmac1106 hmm me neither, so weird, [zegnat] sent me a successful webmention and it was just there, maybe it was the 4.9.6 update…who knows
#
jgmac1106 just one of those WordPress things when soemthign just decided to start or stop working
#
GWG I have to read through the 4.9.6 developer notes
#
GWG Anyway, I also have to update my PR for Semantic Linkbacks
#
GWG pfefferle, could you look at https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-semantic-linkbacks/pull/177
#
Loqi [dshanske] #177 Add template

#
jgmac1106 [pfefferle] and [gwg] Here is where I ended up with my language on the webmentions form: https://jgregorymcverry.com/it-is-day-five-of-indieweb-wordpress-experiment/
#
jgmac1106 [gwg] In the bridgy plug-in If I switch this in line 28 'show_in_rest' => false, to true…will syndicate to bridgy be on by default?
#
jgmac1106 Trying to figure out what I need to do to the plug-in to have the box checked by default, the array but the arry seems to be calling post line 28 doesn’t make sense
#
jgmac1106 Tried the bridgy_checbox function on line 77
#
jgmac1106 anyone ever see “moved permanently” when trying to bookmark a site?
#
jgmac1106 [pfefferle] is there an easy way to make it so an included image doesn’t become the featured image. It add u-photo to this. Maybe I could make an img class and set the opacity to full to hide it.

[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] there might be a bug in the current version, that adds u-photo to every image… I have to recheck that… u-photo should only be used if it is a photo post and u-featured should be used for the featured images

#
GWG Bridgy Publish has its own settings page
#
GWG pfefferle, should Webmention form text be a setting?
#
[pfefferle] sure, why not
#
[pfefferle] we can add a textbox and make our text as default (when the text-box is empty)
#
jgmac1106 [pfefferle] the u-photo images does unfurl well on Twitter. That is awesome!
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] Okay I will delete 74 and 75 if custom text box is way we are going
#
jgmac1106 testing things out with wordpress so I can answer questions from poeple. The rich text editor is that still defaulting to http for everyone?
