[jeffperry] Update: I maged to get the RSS posts to have the link but my website titles do not. I have the settings turned on in the plugin but I am not seeing it on my site. Not sure why. I have the following code in it:
#
[jeffperry] <?php if ( get_the_title() ) : ?>
#
[jeffperry] <?php if (has_post_format(‘link’) && get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘linked_list_url’, true)) : ?>
#
[jeffperry] <h2 class=“entry-title”><a href=“<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘linked_list_url’, true); ?>” rel=“bookmark” title=“<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>“><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
#
[jeffperry] I am not sure if this is only for the RSS feed or if I need something else for the entry-title on the site.

Ruxton is anyone taking in unicode ok via webmention? lots of the interactions from insta being sent via bridgy on my site are not handling unicode properly
#
GWG Ruxton: I've been working on updating the webmention code. Might be an opportunity to address.
#
Ruxton I wasn't sure if it was just my confg or not, so i've not bothered to dig into it yet
#
GWG I haven't had any problems yet.
#
GWG Trying to merge Semantic Linkbacks into Webmentions
#
Ruxton O_O
#
Ruxton fun
#
GWG It's a long standing proposal
#
GWG But the migration is going to be a challenge
#
Ruxton yeah I'm not sure 'challenge' covers it :P might drive you to insanity ;)
#
jalcine Ruxton: I've had some problems with that myself
#
GWG Well, there is a lot of things we learned since the original design

[kimberlyhirsh] asuh, when I start getting overwhelmed by the difficulty of bringing Facebook fans to WP, I revisit the generations page on the wiki, remind myself that those folks are gen 4, and try to think of gen 2 or 3 people to approach for now.

#
Ruxton yeap, updated all the db to utf8mb4 and things are behaving :)
#
Ruxton guess that's the side effect of having a WordPress blog that's 14 years old
#
jacky wow 14 years!
#
Ruxton yeah I've lost all the static sites i had before then :P

Jeremycherfas Just discovered how awful one of my WP sites looks on mobile. Running a child of ZenPress and wondering whether to switch to a child of Autonomie.
#
Jeremycherfas I see that I've had the same problem for almost a year now, since before ZenPress became Autonomie https://github.com/pfefferle/Autonomie/issues/17

#
[pfefferle] oh Jeremycherfas sorry, totally forgot about that issue! I try to provide a demo asap!
#
Jeremycherfas No worries. I didn't follow up either. Because I almost never look at that site on mobile. But now I need to.
#
GWG Morning
#
Loqi morning!
#
Jeremycherfas Good morning gwg

[Rose] Hello!
#
[Rose] Does anyone know of a plugin that syndicates to Mastodon and puts the syndication link in the right place?
[xavierroy] joined the channel
#
[xavierroy] wouldn't bridgy take care of it?
#
[xavierroy] i meant fed.brid.gy
#
[Rose] I never looked at that for some reason.
[grantcodes] joined the channel
#
[xavierroy] and Syndicated Links should be able to pull the link in... [dshanske] can correct me if i'm wrong in this assumption
#
[Rose] Bridgy options don't show Mastodon that I can see
#
[xavierroy] https://fed.brid.gy/#setup
#
[Rose] In the WordPress plugin I meant
#
[xavierroy] you should have bridgy Fed as a syndication option in Syndication LInks plugin page
#
Loqi yea
#
[Rose] Not seeing it, but I want to syndicate to another Mastodon account on mastodon.social
#
[Rose] Rather than using my website as a Mastodon account (though it should have that all setup too from memory)
[jgmac1106], EmreSokullu and [eddie] joined the channel
#
GWG There is a Mastodon plugin that you can use
#
GWG But it is not interested
#
[Rose] It also won't set up, I commented on the open issue
#
GWG It?
#
[Rose] The plugin that syndicates to Mastodon: https://github.com/simonfrey/mastodon_wordpress_autopost
#
Loqi [simonfrey] mastodon_wordpress_autopost: A Wordpress Plugin that automatically posts your new articles to Mastodon
#
GWG Oh. Never used it myself
#
GWG I just found the URL to display
#
[Rose] I was hoping that if it works I could figure out how to extend it to add to the syndication links
#
GWG That's easy
#
[Rose] Yeah, that was the hope 😛
#
[Rose] Unfortunately authorizing it is failing

#
[kimberlyhirsh] @GWG what did you have in mind for the cache busting?
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
GWG Well, I need to find out what caches people use to try to design something that addresses the caching issue
#
GWG The publish link is added after the page is generated
#
GWG So I need to invalidate the cache
#
[kimberlyhirsh] I'm using the W3 Total Cache plugin.
#
[kimberlyhirsh] I've enabled page caches, minify, object cache, and browser cache.

#
GWG I will have to check how it invalidates

doubleloop Can anyone recommend a particular character count plugin for WP? (Built in editor tells you how many words, but not chars)
