[asuh] GWG: for the Kind Embed of a Tweet, it appears to be grabbing the t.co version of a link. Is there a way to convert that over to the real URL?
#
GWG [asuh]: The embed is done by WordPress itself.
#
GWG I don't modify it.
#
[asuh] Darn, ok
#
GWG You can always turn off the embed
#
[asuh] I like the embed, it’s a nice magical way to get a Tweet in a blockquote. I just dislike the t.co URL since it’s essentially a tracker
[tantek] joined the channel
#
GWG I'm sure we could figure out a way to fix that
#
[asuh] I hadn’t really paid attention to the oEmbed functionality added previously but briefly remember it being added now that I’m looking up what happens. It’s a neat feature
#
GWG [asuh]: I cover myself by also offering a non-embed version, but I figured people would want the embeds
#
[asuh] The t.co annoyance is obviously minor
#
[asuh] The non-embed version, is that the logic behind the checkbox saying “Embed Sites into your Response”?
#
GWG Yes.
#
GWG It switches to the same display it uses for non-oembed sites
#
GWG It's a dynamic setting
#
GWG So you can turn it on/off without permanent effect
#
[asuh] nice, I’ll play around with that to see what I think

#
[asuh] Oh interesting, since WordPress 5.0 wasn’t forced by my web host (or maybe that was Automattic actually behind that decision), I just got a notification that it’s now updated to 4.9.9. I’m glad no one is forcing me to upgrade yet but keeping the 4.9.x line updated and secure

jeremycherfas Yes, I just noticed a bunch of emails about 4.4.9 I hope this means I don’t even have to think about classic editor and can just move to classic press in due course.

Ik90 Hi need help to learn WordPress from scratch any best tutorial please
#
[jgmac1106] @lk90 the best bet is to just install.... But yes we have step by step guides for each IndieWeb theme
#
[jgmac1106] Need to get more folks to. Upvote the microformats ticket with ClassicPress
#
[jgmac1106] It is slipping
#
Ik90 I have installed WordPress but the thing is themes looks r different in mobile and desktop... So looking for tutorial, any guidance will be helpful
#
[jgmac1106] For IndieWeb use SemPress which is in the theme repo
#
[jgmac1106] You can use 2016-IndieWeb but you download from GitHub

#
[jgmac1106] @lk90 that should get you started
#
Ik90 Thank's a lot jgmac1106, I'll start working on it

#
[pfefferle] [jgmac1106] will you delete the youtube videos after you moved them to archive.org or will you keep both?
#
[jgmac1106] Probably keep both for now. You can add to your readme
#
[jgmac1106] Have bigger fires to put out now
#
[jgmac1106] Realized I am. Missing the webmentions plugin, semantic Link back tutorial
#
[jgmac1106] Wonder if those were generic, not theme specific... I will record those today if they are missing and make a SemPress playlist
#
[pfefferle] a SemPress playlist would be awesome
#
[jgmac1106] That I can do. Time to wake the family and start the day, will do when they leave for school
#
[jgmac1106] I made them videos for 2016 @gwg and Independent Publisher (though we do not recommend that theme... Seems most popular of the four)
#
[pfefferle] 👍
#
[jgmac1106] @lk90 working remote today. Just ping us and we can help

#
GWG jackjamieson, did I fix your issues?
#
jackjamieson Hi GWG, I wasn't able to check yesterday - just checking now
#
GWG I think I closed everything
#
GWG And put in the new config call
#
jackjamieson Excellent, i'll check and update Yarns today
#
GWG Feed => true replaced with return => feed
#
GWG Feed discovery should work if passed a feed url
#
jackjamieson Just tested feed discovery - works great!
#
jackjamieson I'll go through the remaining things and will let you know if I find anything else
#
GWG Glad it worked out
#
GWG I will be working on cleaning up bugs and issues in Simple Location, but will hop back for anything you find

#
jgmac1106 @gwg @chrisaldrich…after watching my SemPress videos I need to pretty much redo the suite of them. If you could do a state of each plugin, or add that as a common segment be cool, what are all the new changes to widgets and plugins and such

jackjamieson GWG: Actually I'm having two issues with Parse_This::fetch_feeds on david.shanske.com
[schmarty] joined the channel
#
jackjamieson 1. Undefined index: type on line 640 of class-parse-this-mf2.php
gRegorLove_ joined the channel
#
jackjamieson 2. None of your site's rel=feeds are returned. I think because they don't have a type property. We talked a bit about this issue before, but maybe the best solution could be to assume any links with rel=feed are mf2. Then they'll be included in the list, and there should be a chance to verify them by previewing the feed

#
jgmac1106 @gwg @chrisaldrich what is the url for my webmention endpoint?
#
sknebel you can just look in your html :D
#
[jgmac1106] thx

#
[mrkrndvs] [asuh] in regards to Twitter embeds, Alan Levine has made changes that might be useful to look at https://cogdogblog.com/?s=Embed+tweets
[asuh] joined the channel
#
[asuh] [mrkrndvs] thank you! I’ll see if there’s things I can use in there. The oEmbed renders are mostly useful as is, it’s just that tracking URL that I wish we didn’t have to import. It’s much more useful to see the original source
#
[asuh] and in that spirit, I filed a Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/45610

#
[matpacker] Morning all, out of curiosity, how many of you are using Jetpack on your WP installs?
[tantek] joined the channel
#
GWG I dropped Jetpack
#
GWG Why?
#
GWG I test it periodically
[kevinmarks] and cjwillcock joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] yes, jetpack and IndieWeb plugins sometimes get into spats
#
[jgmac1106] and why does Automattic need a "shadow copy" of everything I publish?
#
[jgmac1106] "shadow site" is the actual language in Terms of Service I think
#
GWG That's why I took it off
#
GWG Too much
