#
GWG [jgmac1106]: Solemn remembrance of the Eggnog Riots of 1826.
#
[jgmac1106] such a fun story of college rebellion
#
GWG Yes...
#
GWG I am also upset about the Dec 24 1851 fire at the Library of Congress
#
GWG Anyway, WordPress

#
[jgmac1106] blog about both of us real quick....I bet 95% of the pople have no idea..you are a content machine..we just have to get it out
#
GWG Beg pardon?
[kevinmarks] and [schmarty] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] you were talking about not knowing what to write about and I am complementing you on the fact that you have so much to write about people would want to know,
#
GWG Oh
#
GWG https://david.shanske.com/2018/12/24/2597/
#
Loqi [David Shanske] I question whether or not anyone will care about what I am posting publicly and often talk myself out of it. I think the question is always why you want to share the information. But I know one of the reasons is because I hope to interact with others...
#
GWG I just wrote this using Indigenous
#
[jgmac1106] I just sent a reply...I say you do a 30 day 150 word day challenge start of new year
#
GWG I replied to your reply
#
GWG I may do that now that I have spent time making it easy.
#
GWG Along with others

[jgmac1106] I am going dark Jan 1 until start of semester (17ish)...need to finish by book and focus on presence..migration learning CSS Grid and microformats took a lot out of me
[pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] [dshanske] looks broken, because of the long title...
#
[pfefferle] perhaps post-kinds should trim it
#
GWG pfefferle, good idea. Tantek does every note as his title
#
GWG I used to have a function that unset the title if it was equal to the content
#
GWG Should check that
#
jgmac1106 [gwg] so does known it makes the first seven words a title
#
jgmac1106 I think the the layout should be link to back to source with truncated title, followed by the <blockquote>
#
GWG I find it amusing I always have to special case tantek

#
[jgmac1106] if anyone has any bookmarks about adding redirects in WP please pass them my way...web a horrible mess of bad SEO tutorials and I can't get any redirects in my htaccess file to do anything...a
#
[jgmac1106] like do you have to add one link for every single link on your blog to the htaccess manually?
#
GWG There is a plugin called redirection I used a few times
bradenslen joined the channel
#
jgmac1106 found this and trying it” https://community.reclaimhosting.com/t/using-htaccess-rules-to-redirect-old-urls-to-a-new-site/66
#
jgmac1106 the plugins did nothing for me
#
jgmac1106 how do I tell the web https://jgregorymcverry.com/kind/note is now https://archive.jgregorymcverry.com/kind/note?
#
GWG A redirect of everything kind
#
jgmac1106 yes but changing the htaccess file on my new site with redirects makes no sense but there is no htaccess on my domain anymroe as it isn’t a wordpress ite
#
jgmac1106 can I just keep the old one htaccess file in the new directory I pointed my domain towards……I tought it would be install plugin and rock and roll
#
GWG jgmac1106: .htaccess is an Apache thing, not a WordPress thing
#
[jgmac1106] I know... And WP is polluting all the results...oh well can wait till after holidays.... He keeps reminding himself....
#
GWG I get 48 hours off. So I might as well be productive
#
gRegorLove Rewrites for WordPress URLs like /kind/note will need to appear before the special WP redirect in your .htaccess
#
gRegorLove Or if it's on a Known site (I think you are now?), before this line: https://github.com/idno/known/blob/master/.htaccess#L20
#
gRegorLove That's the catch-all rule that routes most requests through index.php, so if you want to redirect non-existing URLs, it needs to be before that.
jgmac1106 joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] gRegorLove I threw up a few static pages on the url where the WordPress site used to be. Known is still on a subdomain
#
[jgmac1106] Merry Christmas BTW, hope you find time for you and yours [gRegorLove]
#
gRegorLove Oh, is https://jgregorymcverry.com still WP?
#
gRegorLove Feliz navidad to you as well. I'm staying in SD but spending time with friends.
#
GWG Hmm...weather is now being stored on Micropub checkins with location passed through.

#
GWG But I have some privacy issues I need to address
[relapse] and [pfefferle] joined the channel
#
[pfefferle] [dshanske] I need your help with post-kinds... I want to support it with ActivityPub and that seems to be more difficult than I thought 😞
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Oh?
#
GWG I haven't been following that
#
GWG Can you describe the issue?
#
[pfefferle] It is not added to the post content, because outside of the_loop
#
GWG So, you are accessing post_content, not running it through the_content?
#
[pfefferle] I am talking about the reply-context
#
[pfefferle] Kind of
#
GWG There is a way to call it. Kind_View::get_display( $post_id )
#
[pfefferle] Tried it like that https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-activitypub/blob/master/includes/class-activitypub-post.php#L32
#
[pfefferle] I do not want to add it by hand...
#
GWG There are a bunch of things that bypass it. For example, it doesn't do it if it is a feed.
#
[pfefferle] It will not be added to feeds?
#
[pfefferle] Why?
#
GWG It does, just with a separate hook
#
GWG It does different checks
#
[pfefferle] Puh
#
[pfefferle] That makes it hard to debug
#
GWG It hooks differently if it is a feed vs non-feed
#
GWG It was based on complaints.
#
GWG I'll make changes if I can assist
#
[pfefferle] Thanks! GWG++
#
GWG Should I try installing the plugin?
