#[frank][chrisaldrich] Thanks for the tips re webmentions. I'll have a look at them. On a sidenote, you might have seen some notifications from my micropub adventures last night 🙂 I was testing the Post Kinds plugin with my Genesis theme and I couldn't get it to work properly. It turned out there's a conflict with the Yoast SEO plugin. I already notified David about this.
#[frank]I deactivated the SEO plugin so I could work on the template. I used one of your blogposts as a placeholder-bookmark. But it turns out, when your blogpost has comments, they are also included in the micropub response into my WordPress database... Is this because you send them along or because the plugin picks them up? I'm not quite sure how this works...

#[mrkrndvs]Just a question, what does it mean to get a 'forbidden' response when I enter my url in the webmention ping box?

#[tonz][aaronpk] adding json to mod security fixed the issue.
#sknebel[tonz]: great to hear! so you asked your hoster to do that and they changed it for you?
#sknebel[mrkrndvs]: on your site or on others? my first theory without looking into it further would be some security thing getting in the way

#[tonz][sknebel] Yes, I opened a ticket asking them to add the rule for json, they asked me for the relevant parts of my logfiles, and then fixed it within minutes. Good service I thought.
#sknebelyes, nice if they can handle that so promptly

#sknebel[mrkrndvs]: should maybe have asked that first: just a plain "forbidden", or any more details?
#GWGIt means that the webmention endpoint is somehow asking for authentication

#[frank]I switched from the Genesis childtheme to the Independent Publisher theme on my WP blog. Too much loose ends and nitty gritty things I wanted to change in Genesis and a whole lot of overhead in code and possibilities because of the Genesis theme.
#GWG[frank]: I have a fork of the Independent Publisher theme that is more Indieweb friendly, if you want to try irt.
#[frank][Rose] I used Genesis for our corporate website. With pages, custom post types and the works
#[frank]For my personal site I switched to Independent Publisher
#[Rose]I'm using it on my personal site, making my own child theme right now based on their one (I don't want to make many changes, basically all that's left is adding microformats), then I just need to import all my post content!
#[frank]You use the Genesis Sample Theme as a base?
#[Rose]Yup, probably a terrible idea. But I rather liked most of it.
#[frank]GWG Do you have any idea why in the Ind Pub theme I see both the list of available pages twice on my homepage? I use one as a widget in the sidebar, but it automatically shows a list of pages below the blogtitle and subtitle. I have no idea where to disable this.
#[frank]Yeah... I turned it off... it still shows. Driving me crazy. No caching (because I work on localhost now) and no idea where it's coming from...
#GWG[frank]: I had a report the options weren't saving properly I need to investigate
#[frank]When I don't select a menu in for the main menu location, it still shows the available pages.
#[chrisaldrich]Start at the beginning and go commit by commit taking (or leaving) the changes your theme might or might not need. Most of the commit messages are pretty solid.
#[Rose]I saw someone recommending that in the comments of the article, thanks!
#[chrisaldrich]If you read through it all one time to get a gist of what is happening you'll be better off. And github kindly highlights the specific changes for you so you'll have a pretty solid idea of what is/isn't happening.
#[chrisaldrich]Ha! Just took a look at his article (again), it was me who made that comment.... 😜

#[chrisaldrich]As a mediocre coder, I've always found it easier to follow that than use things like Sempress as an example.
#[Rose]I thought it was, but I'm boarding a plane so checking was harder.
#[Rose]I can code, but I'm not that familiar with WP - so it's a learning curve.
#[chrisaldrich]Looking at his code also helped me a lot with some of the more modern ways of doing WordPress theme development and where code could and should be placed (especially for /DRY -ness)
#[chrisaldrich]I've been pecking away at making some changes to the old 2012 theme and it's night and day different as well as much older and uglier to try to make changes compared to the 2016 theme.
#[chrisaldrich]Maybe I should take a hack at the 2015 theme instead where I might have better luck.... and that's probably as clean and simple as 2012 is for personal website/blog.
