gRegorLove Howdy wordpressians
#
tw2113 yo
#
gRegorLove Not sure if this is semantic linkbacks, but I saw it in the URL... on https://kimberlyhirsh.com/7099-2/ the "Say Hi" sidebar widget has a `span class="u-photo"` and no content.
#
Loqi [Kimberly Hirsh] Made chicken souvlaki kabobs and they turned out beautifully but never again. Way more trouble than they’re worth. https://i2.wp.com/kimberlyhirsh.com/phd/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ig8AEVNE.jpg?fit=840%2C840&ssl=1
#
gRegorLove The avatar is shown via CSS background-image.
#
gRegorLove That's causing a Bridgy Publish error because the mf2 parses a blank u-photo and normalizes that with the base url: https://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https://kimberlyhirsh.com/7099-2/

gRegorLove I left a message for Kim in #indieweb, but thought I'd check here. The avatar URL has "semantic-linkbacks" in it
#
tw2113 not familiar enough with u-photo to be great help there
#
tw2113 regarding behavior with it, it feels like the widget may be doing some default-ish things?
#
tw2113 out of curiosity, have you reached out to the theme/plugin author about it?

#
gRegorLove No I just discovered it
#
gRegorLove It's microformats2, so I think it might be an indieweb plugin adding it
#
gRegorLove Or it could be copy/paste of the avatar into a widget. Will see what Kim says when she comes back.
#
tw2113 hope you find the answers you need :)

GWG Morning
#
Loqi morning!

#
[kimberlyhirsh] [gRegorLove] Thanks for the help. (It's a weird thing to be picky about, but I don't go by Kim... Always Kimberly.) I've disabled the Shoutbox plugin for now and that's fixed the problem. It's gotten exactly 0 engagement in the months I've had it installed, so I won't miss it while I poke around and see if I can figure out what's going on.
#
GWG I need to catch up. What exactly is the problem?
#
[kimberlyhirsh] @GWG I was getting this error message when I try to publish to Twitter using Bridgy, both from the Bridgy site & WP Syndication Links plugin: "Twitter only supports JPG, PNG, GIF, and WEBP images; https://kimberlyhirsh.com/7099-2/ looks like text/html; charset=UTF-8"
#
GWG And you disabled a contributing plugin?
#
[kimberlyhirsh] Yes
#
[kimberlyhirsh] There was an empty u-photo in the plugin.
#
GWG I can guess why
#
[kimberlyhirsh] When I can get to the computer to poke around in the code, I'll reenable it.
#
GWG It was trying to call for a WordPress avatar
#
[kimberlyhirsh] Yes
#
[kimberlyhirsh] That sounds right.
#
GWG Semantic Linkbacks adds photo to avatars
#
[kimberlyhirsh] The plugin is closed now and no longer available for download.

#
[jgmac1106] What is Splot?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Splot" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Splot is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[jgmac1106] Splot is WordPress theme that allows anonymous or public publishing without requiring registration or signing in becoming a public blog. It may or may not stand for Smallest/Simplest * Possible/Portable * Open/Online * Learning/Living * Tool/Technology
#
Loqi ok

GWG Maybe I should give Webmentions some love this weekend
#
GWG The migration to the new storage format is a big job

#
gRegorLove_ [kimberlyhirsh] Ack, sorry about that. Noted! :)
#
gRegorLove_ Glad Bridgy Publish is working now.
#
GWG Hi Gregorlove
#
gRegorLove o/

GWG Gregorlove, if there is a WordPress problem, assume it's me
