[matpacker] I keep getting blocked login attempts, and they're seeming to lineup with micropub attempts. So I'm wondering if a lot of the issues that I'm getting are because of Jetpack. If it's not a dependency, I think I might dump it.

[asuh] GWG, had an interesting debugging with the content filter to add `.e-content`. In your modified TwentySixteen theme, you have the priority set to 1 but I had to bump it up to 10. Anything below 10 was removing the first paragraph element from the first paragraph saved from the editor. Not sure what was going on but this was the only solution I coudl find

# [matpacker] Nothing in particular, it was just handy having a single point.
# [matpacker] I went through the features I was using, it was literally just markdown writing/comments, site accelerator (caching), Google Sitemap and verification, and then the vaultpress backups.
# [matpacker] All of those I replace quite easily.

# [matpacker] Long story short, I have been trying to use various p3k apps to post to my blog, along with Indigenous.app, and get lots of micropub failures. The initial failures were due to my host, however, those have been fixed now. I think I will re-try connecting to p3k apps and see how it goes.
# [matpacker] Thanks for the offer. I’ll holler when / if I run into a problem!

# [matpacker] Found a really awesome bug with my WP site, pretty confident that it’s an issue with the server side caching. If I flush the cache and refresh my site the Post Kinds info renders. If I refresh the browser again, the Post Kinds info is gone.
# [matpacker] With a bit more playing around, I’ve worked out that it’s the database cache.

# [matpacker] it’s whatever DreamHost are using on their DreamPress servers. Varnish I think
# [matpacker] ruxton: It’s not something I am able to disable
# [matpacker] Yeh, now to try and explain it to DreamHost
# [matpacker] I’ll clear it now, 5, 4, 3, 2,
# [matpacker] It also might explain another bug I’ve been having, roughly every 24 hours my .htaccess file gets rewritten to the dreampress default, removing the lines I put in to pass the auth headers through.

[pfefferle] [jgmac1106]++ nice!
# [matpacker] I’ve been cursing [pfefferle] and [dshanske] all day as I thought I was having issues with their themes (sempress) and plugins.
# [pfefferle] And?
# [pfefferle] Oh ☺
# [pfefferle] With php7.2 I deactivated all caches... no real performance boost...
# [matpacker] Nah, it’s all good [pfefferle], was / am having issues, thought it might have been a different themes problem, so then I downloaded SemPress, same issue, and then it turns out to be the hosts issue.
# [matpacker] Yeh, it’s installed by default
# [matpacker] and running
# [matpacker] have tried disabling it, refreshing it, and turning on dev mode, no dice
# [pfefferle] What exactly is the problem?
# [matpacker] [pfefferle] Post Kinds don’t display on matpacker.blog. If I nuke the cache then it will display, as soon as I refresh, it doesn’t siplay
# [matpacker] display
# [matpacker] possibly server related?
# [pfefferle] Hmmm... I can‘t really help you with post-kinds, because I do not use it. I tested it some days ago Hand had some issues with missing default settings... can you try to load the settings and hit save one time and then try it again?
# [pfefferle] Oh one point... do you use WordPress‘ 5.0 Block Editor?
# [matpacker] I use the classic editor. I just did a quick screenrecording, I’ll upload it and share it shortly.
# [pfefferle] 👍
# [pfefferle] You can also try to enable debug mode for Wordpress to see if there are any php errors
# [pfefferle] Oh this is weird! 😳
# [matpacker] hehe it’s a good one, hey
# [pfefferle] definitely!

# [jgmac1106] @gwg filming your videos today install, set up IndieWeb plugins, h-card widget, semantic Link backs, webmentions, set up mention page, post kind, post kind menu widget, video for each post kind... Anything else?
# [jgmac1106] Ohh yeah... How best to update theme... Updating a theme from GitHub huge PITA for people..
# [jgmac1106] ... I actually don't really know best way
# [jgmac1106] We will have to try it, and you know I offered to help in WP.org theme approval if I can.
# [jgmac1106] Will try plugin and if it works make video
# [jgmac1106] Themes not in WP.org... Sure... I thought you liked 2016-IndieWeb
# [jgmac1106] .... I will play WP.org doesn't like you using their year name in themes anyways
# [jgmac1106] .that's pretty cool
# [jgmac1106] OwnYourPress, IndiePress, Tenedor2016,
# [jgmac1106] iw26 is neat

# [xavierroy] I've been using it a lot. Adding a couple of lines does the trick especially for constantly changing plugins and themes

# [jgmac1106] would, love, love, love tutorial or video to share [xavierroy] lot of people give up on 2016-IndieWeb at first update...they can install but don't know how to mantain
# [xavierroy] if [dshanske] can add a similar line, and if one has the github updater plugin, it is easy to update the plugin whenever there's a version bump
# [jgmac1106] how about for his theme?
# [xavierroy] [jgmac1106] already available as part of https://github.com/dshanske/twentysixteen-indieweb/issues/10

# jackjamieson Hi GWG
# jackjamieson How's your stuff going today?
# jackjamieson Excellent - I think I've fixed the major issues with Yarns. The polling schedule is implemented and I'm going to review my tests to make sure it works well. And I'm going to write a quick readme this weekend, which will be enough documentation to start.
# jackjamieson Fantastic, I'm looking forward to it
# jackjamieson Oh, can you update parse-this in IndieWeb Post Kinds when you get a chance?

# [asuh] What causes a Screen Option widget to get unchecked? For the first time yesterday, as I switched from Post Kind Note to Reply, I was expecting to see the “Response Properties” widget above the editor but it didn’t show up. I had to search what the meaning of `.hide-if-js` class meant because it was on this widget so it would never show up. Turns out this was because the checkbox for “Response Properties” inside the top Screen Opti

# [matpacker] Morning all
# [matpacker] Heard back from DreamHost overnight about the Post Kinds problem, turns out it's a conflict between the caching of the plugin and the memcache and object cache drop in
# [matpacker] I'll just paste in the response from them, might be easiest
# [matpacker] Regarding the post kinds issue, it appears that this plugin is not
# [matpacker] contacting the plugin developer and informing them of this. Usually they
# [matpacker] appears to have some sort of internal caching set up and it is this that
# [matpacker] compatible with memcached at this time. Reading the readme file it
# [matpacker] conflicts with memcached and the object cache drop in. I would suggest
# [matpacker] are receptive and will update their code for compatibility. If you still
# [matpacker] want to use it as is, then the object-cache.php file would need to be
# [matpacker] disabled which would sever the sites connection to memcached on the
# [matpacker] server. That's up to you if you wish to do this.
# [matpacker] Cool, happy to test it
# [matpacker] John R
# [matpacker] Awesome thanks

# jackjamieson GWG: Because Post Kinds has an old version of parse-this included, Yarns doesn't load Parse-This again since it already exists.
# jackjamieson The effect being that all of the recent changes to Parse-This are overwritten by the version in Post-Kinds (which lacks, for e.g., the SimplePie folder in /vendor)
# jackjamieson Of course not, what do you have in mind?

# jackjamieson That sounds perfect, actually
# jackjamieson I've been using stable post-kinds from the wordpress repository.
[schmarty] joined the channel
# jackjamieson I'm looking at semantic linkbacks now to see if I can understand what you mean
# jackjamieson Ah, I see - looks simple enough. I can do that in Yarns pretty easily. No need for you to rush, mainly it'd be nice to make sure there are no conflicts since almost anyone who would use Yarns will have Post Kinds installed

# jackjamieson GWG: I've just been reading about requiring classes only within a function scope - slightly confused but I think I see how this would work. Thanks for the idea - assuming this works it is much better than what I thought necessary. In the past few months, you have taught me a whole lot about software development - so thank you very much!
