I'm seeing a notification on WordPress about Gutenberg? Is this something that I should avoid updating to?
#
[jgmac1106]
yes stick with classic editor for now
#
GWG
Serena, you can install the Classic Editor plugin to disable it for now

#
[Serena]
cool, thanks!
#
GWG
I am not sure the future though
#
GWG
We'll see how things will fit in
#
GWG
[Serena], by the way how are things working for you? Any feedback?
#
[Serena]
You mean in general?
#
[Serena]
I've kind of noticed that with OwnYourGram that my posts are importing as video posts
#
[Serena]
Video Post Format
#
GWG
Yes, in general
#
GWG
Are they videos?
#
[Serena]
and as such code I have that automatically hide title for status posts under a certain word count isn't working for those Instragram-imported posts
#
[Serena]
I end up going into WordPress and manually changing it after every import
#
[Serena]
No, they're not videos, they're photos
#
GWG
That's odd
#
GWG
Video should only be set if OwnYourGram sends a video property
#
GWG
Do you have an example?
#
GWG
I am always willing to try to figure things not working out

GWG: Saw you pushed several more changes to parse-this over the weekend. I'm going to try them out now
#
[Khurt]
I think it’s time I give up on using third-party themes with MF2 and some of the IndieWeb plugins. I have spent too much time on plumbing and not enough on content creation

I think I’ll switch to Indieweb Twenty Sixteen and perhaps modify it to meet my needs. Steep learning curve as I don’t know how do to WordPress theme development or CSS.

[chrisaldrich]
[Khurt] what specific changes are you looking to push to 2016? I've got a child theme version with some small changes, but I don't go as far as GWG's IndieWeb friendly fork of it.

GWG
jackjamieson, some bugfixes, new h-feed support, enclosures for rss feeds, bundling the latest SimplePie
#
jackjamieson
Looks like a lot! I tested with some RSS feeds and added an issue with some notes. I'll check out the new h-feed support next
#
GWG
It needs work
#
GWG
I need to implement arguments
#
GWG
So you can tell it if you are looking for a feed or not
#
GWG
Also need enhancements on mf2 parsing across the board
#
GWG
But we continue to iterate

#
GWG
jackjamieson, continue to tell me about any gaps
#
jackjamieson
Will do, I'll do my best to keep trying out as many types of feeds as possible
#
GWG
That's how I do it too
#
GWG
I need to handle feed authorship better and normalize different scenarios
#
jackjamieson
Normalization seems like a tough challenge
#
GWG
Yes
#
GWG
As much as possible
#
jackjamieson
Yeah, I think we can cover most cases
#
jackjamieson
I have a more general question too, about how Yarns should call upon Parse-this. So far I've been replacing individual bits of Yarns' parsing with calls to specific Parse-this classes. E.g. I replaced my RSS parsing with a call to Parse_This_RSS::parse
#
jackjamieson
But my sense is you're working toward something where I might be able to just write a single function and Parse-This will take care of feed-type detection and everything.
#
jackjamieson
In which case I guess I could replace my whole parse_feed function with a single call to Parse-this. Am I understanding correctly?
#
GWG
Yes, pretty much
#
GWG
If I had my way, Microsub, Post Kinds, and Semantic Linkbacks would all use the same library
#
jackjamieson
That sounds fantastic to me
#
jackjamieson
Am I also correct to assume that this is not ready yet?
#
jackjamieson
i.e. if I want to test the RSS parsing, I should call it directly for now

snarfed
hi all! my site recently started rejecting inbound webmentions with 403 "missing access token." odd. sound familiar? any ideas what's going on?
#
snarfed
webmention plugin 3.8.7, semantic-linkbacks 3.9.1, no indieauth plugin
#
aaronpk
micropub plugin?
#
snarfed
yes, 2.0.1. i'll be disappointed if that's the cause
#
snarfed
easy to test though, disabling it now
#
Loqi
[lostfocus] #172 Plugin protects access to all Wordpress wp-json API endpoints
#
snarfed
sigh yeah i bet that's it
#
snarfed

#
snarfed
yeah that's it. thanks!
