If I'm reading [mrkrndvs]'s note correctly [https://collect.readwriterespond.com/aldrich-norbert-weiner/] it would seem he, I, and potentially kfitz are having some subtle issues with images on incoming webmentions.
#
Loqi
[Aaron Davis] @chrisaldrich did you document anywhere how to change the default image associated with posts? At the moment it is using my profile pic, which does not work.
#
[chrisaldrich]
All the one's I've seen seem to have properly marked up h-cards with appropriate u-photos, but the webmentions are showing the mystery person avatar on them.
#
[chrisaldrich]
Their other commonality is that they seem to be gravatar based, so it's almost entirely people with WordPress/Gravatar sites and micro.blog replies/responses that are defaulting to the mysteryperson avatar even when the Avatar field in Semantic Linkbacks has a workable/usable gravatar photo url.
#
dougbeal
Isn't there a disable gravatar option in Semantic Linkbacks?
#
GWG
[chrisaldrich]: That is strange. Did someone file an issue?
#
dougbeal
Not yet, I noticed a self-reply got the anonymous icon as well
#
GWG
We should be able to simulate that with data
#
GWG
Ever feel like a bunch of problems are culminating at once
#
dougbeal
Its the user problem... more users = uncover more bugs ;)
#
dougbeal
Hurm, maybe its just micro.blog
#
dougbeal
For me, I mean
#
dougbeal
Oh, thats interesting, there is one user with avatar showing up
#
dougbeal
I wonder if its hosted/vs feed micro.blogs
#
GWG
dougbeal: It's nice to have users, I guess.
#
GWG
I just wish some of these things were easier to fix.
#
dougbeal
Yeah, the user that shows up has an image rather than a gravtar (on micro.blog(
#
GWG
Which should work
#
dougbeal
Hurm, the metadata widget doesn't show up when editing comments?
#
GWG
What metadata widget?
#
dougbeal
the one that shows post metadata? Its specific to that?
#
GWG
Yes. It is for posts.
#
GWG
You can try Comment Meta Display
#
dougbeal
comment-meta-inspector?
#
GWG
That might be it. Not sure

Hmmm, not sure what my problem is, but I elaborated here https://collect.readwriterespond.com/aldrich-norbert-weiner/#comment-2926

[Aaron Davis] Thank you for the response Chris. What I am wondering is how I set a default ‘image’ for my posts as you seem to have done: [caption id="attachment_5038" align="alignnone" width="588"] A screenshot of a Tweet from Chris Aldrich including a defaul...

I uploaded an image to micro.blog, and now it shows up in (new) comments

What is antispam-bee
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "antispam-bee" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "antispam-bee is ____", a sentence describing the term)

GWG, the gravatars not appearing may also be related to https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-semantic-linkbacks/issues/200 as well. I notice that some gravatars which do show up initially, once edited, default to the (local?) mystery person image...

Thanks for the help here, everyone. Got things working on my site to a reasonable degree...even experienced the Gravatar webmention bug :)
#
[jgmac1106]
Ha ha😅 still have that. I am just blank face. Need to update my theme
#
[Chris_Lott]
My first webmention ever came through fine...it's me who was anonymized. Which made me laugh. I guess I need to upload an image to micro.blog instead of using Gravatar there. Have to admit, that first real webmention appearing on my site was a little exciting...a bit of the old web magic.

I guys, I’m all a bit new to the Indieweb but enjoying exploring it. I have an issue with my WordPress blog and the IndieAuth plugin, essentially it doesn’t work. I get this error each time:
#
[philbowell]
```
#
[philbowell]
{"error":"parameter_absent","error_description":"Missing Parameter: redirect_uri"}
#
[philbowell]
```

#
[chrisaldrich]
Good morning [philbowell], sorry to hear about the issue. When do you get that error? What are you doing with IndieAuth when that pops up?
#
[chrisaldrich]
For some history, there was a massive rewrite of the plugin a few months ago which added some SIGNIFICANT functionality. Bugs in certain cases and interactions with various micropub and microsub portions are still being worked out...
#
[philbowell]
Hi [chrisaldrich], I get it every time I try to login to something like Quill or Eddie Hinkle’s new app.
#
[chrisaldrich]
I know that many have been having issues using it to get into microsub readers... I don't know that I've heard anyone having issues using it to get into aaronpk's Quill though.
#
[chrisaldrich]
Are you running the current version, one of the earlier versions or one of the github branches?
#
[philbowell]
I have 3.1.1 installed, which I think is the current version.
#
[philbowell]
I changed the domain of my blog a couple of months ago from philbowell.com to philbowell.blog could that have something to do with?
#
[philbowell]
This is the first time I’ve tried to use it since then
#
[chrisaldrich]
I would expect that's probably not at fault.
#
[chrisaldrich]
Given some of the fixes that GWG has been working on recently, your best bet at the moment is to log the error as an issue in the GitHub repo (or add it onto one of the existing issues): https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieauth/issues
#
[philbowell]
Ok, thanks Chris. I’ll do that now.

If you have the ability to turn on debugging and output logs relating to it, that might also be helpful.

WordPress Troubleshooting is a list of things one can try when asking for help from the WordPress Outreach Club https://indieweb.org/WordPress_Troubleshooting

There's an outline of how to do portions of it there^^.

timing on that article might be tough on the WP side of things
#
[philbowell]
Ok, I’ll have a look at turning on debugging shortly. Added my comment to that issue.

Can post it on etherpad.indieweb.org/debug

Now that github stopped letting people create gists without logging in, our etherpad is a good resource for this
#
[philbowell]
Ah ok, I’ve created a Gist as well
#
aaronpk
[philbowell]: can you post the full url in your browser too?
#
[philbowell]
The one from a failed login?

[philbowell]
Also on the Gist and Etherpad
#
aaronpk
Thanks
#
aaronpk
thats so weird, I’m stumped. Will have to look at the Wordpress code
#
aaronpk
what I don’t understand is that it recognizes that this parameter is invalid in this hacked up request https://philbowell.blog/wp-json/indieauth/1.0/auth?redirect_uri=foo
#
aaronpk
If you change “foo” into a url then it says the parameter is missing

Can you try to disable the plugin that throws these warnings?

Yes, I’ve done that but I still receive the same response

What happens to invitation via webmention, presumably to main/author page?
#
tantek
specific to WordPress? not sure if anyone is doing that on WordPress (yet)

Last I heard the webmention plugin doesn't handle webmentions to the home page, but I think GWG has plans

WordPress parlance of “page”

[miklb]
you can set a static page for homepage webmentions
[eddie] and [chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich]
If you webmention my homepage I log them at https://boffosocko.com/mentions/. I've been contemplating individual pages like "followed by" or "invitations" so that those types which I would expect to be sent to my homepage would be able to be shown on the correct "page".

Is there a plugin to automatically unfurl links, esp twitter munges?

I think there’s a setting to turn on oEmbed? That’s what I use.

maybe this one? Embed Sites into your Response in the post-kinds plugin?

wp tests require a database?

[miklb]
I’ve honestly only cobbled together Travis scripts to run the tests, so I’m not exactly sure but I believe it does spin up a db
