# [jgmac1106] is there any way people can help? Is it getting code up to snuff or forms or anything?
# [jgmac1106] or is there a good autoupdate theme from GitHub plugin we could package with Indieweb plugins?
# [jgmac1106] cool thanks, maybe you should bundle that, nobody updates

# [jgmac1106] ohh okay, yeah put it in your Readme. I was gonna wait until WP.org to record your tutorials but if it will be ahwile, I will just add a tutorial on updating and making child themes
# [jgmac1106] yeah makes sense, if templating bad mf2 no point anything else ahead of that
# [jgmac1106] I know, used to include mine to

chrisaldrich I just ran across something quirky. If I put <code>#indieweb</code> into a post my wordpress instance the published version works essentially like a Twitter hashtag and it autogenerates a physical link to my indieweb category on my website.
# chrisaldrich Is this just me or did core change to add this functionality?
# chrisaldrich To my knowledge, I don't have a plugin that does this sort of funcitonality at all.
# chrisaldrich I noticed it in this post: https://boffosocko.com/2019/02/16/indienews-plugin-use/
# chrisaldrich If it's a core functionality, it could be quite useful for POSSE to Twitter.
# chrisaldrich hmmm... just tested this out on another instance and didn't get the same results...
# chrisaldrich GWG, are you aware of any plugins in the indieweb suite that would have this ^^ type of functionality?
# chrisaldrich yes, Twitter will autowrap it and then clicking on it will provide a stream of those posts with that hashtag.
# chrisaldrich which one of pfefferle's does it? maybe that's where mine is coming from?
# chrisaldrich It was an unexpected functionality when I did it and I don't remember any plugin mentioning it had that feature when I installed them.
# chrisaldrich just tested and apparently it works without being wrapped in <code> tags
# chrisaldrich it not only wraps the hashtag with the typical example.com/tag/hashtagname WP url, but it also adds it to the post's tag area on the post. It's very slick...
# chrisaldrich I'll have to play plugin hide and seek to see what's doing it.
# chrisaldrich I don't have either of them set up.

# chrisaldrich The only thing I think that might have it is the official Twitter plugin which I've got. That doesn't seem to be the cause.
# chrisaldrich I'm up to date on everything but Webmentions and Post Kinds.
# chrisaldrich I'm using my own custom fork of TwentySixteen at the moment.
# chrisaldrich I still have to do the upgrade to some of my custom post kinds before jumping up. And I still think there's some quirky header issue I haven't been able to track down for Micropub (sorry it's that one and not webmentions).
# chrisaldrich I need to find a block of time to run some tests. I think you have the ability to sign into my other public test site which has the same issues.
# chrisaldrich at least with Micropub...
# chrisaldrich I'm also trying to play some catch up on small quirks/bugs I've seen in things lately.
# chrisaldrich what was the built in parser output url you'd made for testing. I thought I'd bookmarked it, but I'm not seeing it and I don't think you officially documented it.
# chrisaldrich I don't know if I mentioned it, but some of the paywalls are causing issues with parsing sometimes. I've noticed that the Washington Post fails for me frequently and I think that it's their 4 free article paywall that is the cause of parsing failing.
# chrisaldrich not sure if changing the user agent doing the parsing would get around it...
# chrisaldrich GWG: has Chris McLeod popped up in chat for help with things like: https://mrkapowski.com/2019/01/k-theme-update-24-jan-2019.html
# chrisaldrich sounds like he's almost there, but running into some issues....

# chrisaldrich and that
# chrisaldrich 's with parse this, the stand alone plugin installed?
# chrisaldrich I'm not seeing it on my production server without the standalone press this installed.
# chrisaldrich let me add it and see if it changes....
# chrisaldrich Yes, looks like you need the standalone plugin for Parse This to have that tab show up.
# chrisaldrich What kills me most of all is the general lack of author support on most websites. I suspect that most just have nothing.
# chrisaldrich It seems like the NY Times used to have good author support, but they changed their markup or methods 6+ months ago and I get nothing now.
# chrisaldrich I know a few folks there and at the LA Times. I'll keep kicking them to be a bit more standards compliant.
# chrisaldrich I'm still not able to get the indieweb.xyz option(s) to appear in the syndication set up with the new version of syndication links... ideas?
# chrisaldrich If I can get it to work, I'll document it all for the plugin and for the wiki.
# chrisaldrich Now that syndication links has the bridgy portion, are you planning on removing the publish part of the old bridgy plugin (as well as removing the facebook/google+ options)?
# chrisaldrich I've put in values for the name, UID, and target (and saved), is there anything else I'm missing GWG? I'm expecting once that is done then I'll have a checkbox in the meta box to add it.
# chrisaldrich And then from there, I'm suspecting that syndication links will just add the URL there and webmention will actually take care of the last mile, right?

# chrisaldrich Nope, no checkbox appears....
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "exact name, UID, and target" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "exact name, UID, and target is ____", a sentence describing the term)

# chrisaldrich GWG: here's the relevant section: https://boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/syndication-links-settings.png
# chrisaldrich hmmm... I could have sworn I did the uninstall/reinstall thing last week as a test, but trying again today seems to have solved it!
# chrisaldrich it's at least showing up, now to do something to test it out...
