GWG Hello, asuh
#
[asuh] hey GWG, how’s it going
#
GWG Just released an update
#
[asuh] RIght, I just saw, that’s great
#
GWG More to do
#
[asuh] As there always is
#
GWG Give it a try if you want
#
[asuh] I was thinking about how a Note kind behaves with Tweets using the @ reply and I just published a post that was supposed to syndicate to Twitter but here it’s about 8 minutes later and I don’t see the Tweet
#
[asuh] Yes, I plan to give Simple Locations a try soon, see how I like it
#
[asuh] Guess I’ll have to troubleshoot something later. Looks like Notes aren’t syndicating to Twitter, strange
#
[asuh] or not, now i see it after deleting the original, adding a title and republishing

#
[asuh] Bridgy via Syndication Links isn’t consistently syndicating to Twitter. Bummer
#
GWG Wonder why
#
GWG It does for me
#
[asuh] Might still have something to do with the errors I’m getting
#
GWG Oh?
#
[asuh] error log contains regular errors from Syndication Links
#
[asuh] `mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given in [...]/wp-content/plugins/syndication-links/includes/class-post-syndication.php on line 129`
#
GWG I will have a look
#
[asuh] I also notice that once I publish a post, I can’t retroactively check the “Syndicate To” checkbox for “Twitter via Bridgy”

#
[xavierroy] is Bridgy for WordPress still the only way to syndicate to twitter?
#
[asuh] GWG built bridgy into Syndication Links
#
[asuh] There's also SNAP
#
[xavierroy] I don't see publish to Twitter box . I have synd. links plugin installed and active
#
[xavierroy] let me activate Bridgy and check
#
[xavierroy] and now the box shows up after activating the plugin
#
[asuh] It's possible it's hidden at top inside the screen options
#
[xavierroy] no. I checked. It appears if you have the bridgy plugin enabled and disappers whenthe plugin is disabled
#
[xavierroy] the support for syn link is that the bridy plugin will push the syndicated link to the syn link plugin
#
[asuh] I don't have the bridgy plug-in enabled anymore
#
[asuh] Trying out Syndication links with integrated bridgy
#
[asuh] It's a little buggy but it works
#
[xavierroy] ok. how do you syndicate it to twitter? any boxes to be checked?
#
[xavierroy] found it 🙂
#
[xavierroy] Enable Syndication to Other Sites
#
[asuh] There you go

GWG Need to do some low level bug fixes next

#
[chrisaldrich] [mrkrndvs] In your footer on RWR, your social icons are repeated. Might be related to recent changes in the h-card widget in the IndieWeb plugin?
j12t, [kevinmarks] and [mrkrndvs] joined the channel
#
[mrkrndvs] Thanks [chrisaldrich] I actually have an issue with my footer in general. Will have to have a tinker.

#
[matpacker] [jgmac1106] just watched your video, gave me some ideas on how I can improve my read/write workflow, thank you!
#
[jgmac1106] [matpacker] thx the SemPress series? Please note I do use a page wrapper on pages but not posts.. Well archive pages
#
[jgmac1106] Or the Blogging Tools?
#
[matpacker] The Blogging Tools one, [jgmac1106]
#
[jgmac1106] Cool, need to re-record since it was for English teachers
#
[jgmac1106] Let me know what you found useful and I will include

#
[matpacker] Just realising how I’m really not utilising Aperture/Indigenous as well as I could. Am curious as to why you separate your content across various services, i.e. micro.blog, known, plus your own domain? Is it to have knowledge of the various tools out there, for educational purposes?
#
[jgmac1106] ...it started with different audiences and ideas. WP was teacher facing, quickthoughts nerdy and random, then I just splurt up blogs and let them wither, flowers in spring but fossilized forever
#
[jgmac1106] I like micro.blog as a community my department is actually letting me pilot it as possible student blogging platform
#
[jgmac1106] For now WP made me feel like an antique house owner. Only thing that worked was the owner
#
[jgmac1106] ... As I finish this migration I already see greener grass
#
[jgmac1106] So I wanted to go to a static couple pages and let Known handle the social stuff...
#
[matpacker] Interesting about Known. How does it handle integrating with apps like OwnYourSwarm/Gram?
#
[jgmac1106] I don't Instagram. But [cleverdevil] maintains all those plugins so you are solid, if you can live with giving Facebook money
#
[jgmac1106] He even set up microgram for micro.blog
#
[matpacker] I think I might have to spend some more time checking out Known. Thanks [jgmac1106]
