GWG Just pushed a minor update to Post Kinds. Several storage bugs. Also should fix [frank]'s problem
#
GWG No new features.
#
GWG Also a prior change broke storing categories as part of a reply context. Fixed that and storing duration.

#
[asuh] GWG, I updated and tested out. Good fixes but similar permalink bugs as last time. I left a new Github issue to help test
[tantek] and [Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
#
GWG Maybe I'm better off removing the feature till resolved
[fluffy], [tantek] and voxpelli joined the channel
#
GWG I am thinking about security again and wondering how to implement another security change

GWG Hello, doubleloop
#
doubleloop Hi GWG .o/
#
GWG doubleloop: What's up?
#
doubleloop I'm playing around with a fresh Wordpress install and Bridgy Fed
#
GWG Oh. Fun
#
doubleloop Used the Digital Ocean wordpress image though, and just realised it's WP 5 :/
[Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
#
[Michael_Beckwit we’re only on 5.1.1
#
[Michael_Beckwit that’s not that badly outdated
#
doubleloop It's not that, I wasn't sure if the various indieweb plugins are fully functional on WP 5 yet? As opposed to 4.9 branch
#
[Michael_Beckwit ah
#
[Michael_Beckwit the gutenberg conundrum
#
GWG They are fully functional, just not in the block editor
#
GWG I'm on 5.1.1 with Classic Editor enabled
#
GWG So I test each version
#
doubleloop Amazing!

#
GWG doubleloop: I wish I could solve the Gutenberg problem
#
GWG I really need to sit down with someone who is well versed in it to help me put it into perspective
#
[Michael_Beckwit i’m still not a big fan of it in general
#
[Michael_Beckwit especially for how much javascript it adds to an already generally bloated admin panel
#
doubleloop Bridgy Fed recommends this plugin for getting an Atom feed - https://wordpress.org/plugins/atom-default-feed/
#
Loqi [Otto] Description This plugin was closed on December 22, 2018 and is no longer available for download. Reason: Author Request. Contributors & Developers “Atom Default Feed” is open source software. The following people have contributed to this ...
#
doubleloop But it is defunct now
#
doubleloop Anyone know an alternative?
#
[Michael_Beckwit https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/atom-default-feed/
#
[Michael_Beckwit just grab it from svn
#
GWG I thought there was an atom feed built in, it just wasn't default
#
[Michael_Beckwit also here’s the entirety of the plugin: https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/atom-default-feed/trunk/atom-default-feed.php
#
[Michael_Beckwit 6 lines of code, not counting comments
#
doubleloop Great, thanks Michael, I can just drop that in
#
[Michael_Beckwit welcome 😄
#
doubleloop GWG: don't know - fresh install doesn't seem to have one linked in the source
#
GWG doubleloop: Isn't it /feed/atom?
#
doubleloop GWG: yes you're right, it is
#
GWG I thought the default plugin just made it be returned at /feed
#
doubleloop All this plugin seems to do is change from a rel alternate of type rss+xml to atom+xml
#
doubleloop Surprised it's not a setting in WP
#
[Michael_Beckwit it probably was at one point and then they hid it
#
[Michael_Beckwit all the links/bookmarks functionality is still there, it’s just hidden from the UI for new installs
#
doubleloop Is there a way to see what webmentions my WP site has sent, and the HTTP response?
#
GWG doubleloop: On the list, but no.
#
doubleloop On a fresh WP Indieweb setup, I get the following back from indiewebify.me: "A h-card was found on your site, but it’s not marked up as the representative h-card!"
#
doubleloop Is there something extra I should do?
#
doubleloop https://indiewebify.me/validate-h-card/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsolarsailer.doubleloop.net%2F
#
GWG How did you add an h-card?
#
doubleloop It's been auto-added to the test post that I created
#
GWG The Indieweb plugin has an h-card widget if that helps
#
doubleloop A-ha, nice, I'll try that
#
doubleloop Nice! That worked

#
doubleloop GWG: the show rel=me option, what does that do? Is it to add a rel=me into the h-card?
#
doubleloop I can't seem to see it
#
GWG Yes
#
GWG You need rel-me in your user profile
#
doubleloop Ahh
#
GWG doubleloop: I definitely need better documentation
#
GWG Where would people look for instructions on how to use the plugin
#
doubleloop Probably in the Getting Started section
#
doubleloop I skipped over it because I've been using WP on my main site for so long, but I should read it!
#
GWG There was a proposal to write a wizard like install
#
doubleloop GWG: in the webmention settings page, there's an option ' Set a page for mentions of the homepage to be sent to: ', but I can't actually see an input to set the value
#
GWG There should be one right there
#
GWG Unless you have no pages.
#
doubleloop I have no pages :D
#
GWG Try creating a page and then returning?
#
doubleloop GWG++ Yep that worked
#
GWG Note, another scenario that I didn't consider
#
doubleloop Well that's pretty rad, I got that WP site discoverable from and posting to the fediverse!
