gRegorLove Does anyone have a recommended plugin for adding Twitter Cards (their flavor of OGP) to WordPress?
#
Ruxton gRegorLove: only plugs I've seen are for adding twitter card data to WP, not rendering twitter card like design from links
#
gRegorLove That's what I mean, adding the Twitter Card metadata to wp
#
Ruxton you use Yoast?
#
gRegorLove This is for a friend, so not sure
#
Ruxton you can do summary and summary large twitter cards with yoast
#
gRegorLove Ah, good to know. That's a popular plugin so he might have it
#
Ruxton yeah thats what I figured, if not try ths https://wordpress.org/plugins/jm-twitter-cards/
#
Loqi [Julien Maury] Description Once activated the plugin adds appropriate meta on your WordPress website allowing you to get Twitter cards for your posts according to your settings. Enjoy ! Features Gutenberg compatible with a custom sidebar meta box : customize Twit...
#
gRegorLove Ruxton++ thanks!
#
Loqi Ruxton has 1 karma over the last year

[Serena] So here's the update re. mod_security issue with Bluehost:
#
[Serena] "We are unable to disable Mod_security as this is a security tool that is in place for the entire shared server. That being said, we do have ways that we can work around this. We have since found the specific Mod_security rule that your website was encountering. We have since white-listed this rule (turned off) so that your website no longer is affected by the rule. This has since resolved the errors that were previously occurring."

#
[pfefferle] [gRegorLove] i can recommend this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/opengraph/ ;)
#
[Serena] I've tested it, and it works. So it seems Bluehost is open to whitelisting mod_security rules that interferes with indieauth.
#
Ruxton [Serena]: that's good, best to whitelist than turn it off entirely :)

[jgmac1106] almost all the themes come with OGP now

GWG Morning all

#
[frank] [gRegorLove] I recommend Yoast. It gives the option to have alternative titles, description and image then most automated open graph options in themes give you. Plus it has a good reputation in the SEO community.
#
GWG Shouldn't have merged the inline-block thing without checking the CSS again. I'm getting some overlap.
[Rose] joined the channel
#
GWG And I don't have time to redo the CSS now. Darn

#
GWG Clearly I need help with my CSS
#
GWG Maybe someone will volunteer
#
[Rose] When I escape work I shall volunteer.
#
[Rose] Can you link me to an example of the problem, and the code causing it?
#
GWG What is the best way to learn styling?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "best way to learn styling" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "best way to learn styling is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
GWG If you feel you need to improve your skill?
#
[Rose] As in, how CSS works? Or what makes things look good?
#
GWG https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/blob/master/includes/class-kind-taxonomy.php#L1219
#
GWG The latter
#
GWG I feel though maybe I need a refresher in the former to improve the latter
#
[Rose] Lunch, magic, and probably lots of work.
#
GWG But the text next to the svg icon is now under it
#
GWG I hate using inline styling because precedence gets confusing
#
GWG And I forgot Autonomie styles the icons as well, so the changes may have caused some problems there
#
GWG I think I will stick to APIs and data
#
GWG I want to get these fixes in so I can figure out the webmention enhancements
#
GWG I feel like I keep stopping that project
#
[Rose] Can you show me where something looks broken (visually)?
#
GWG I added in a margin. Remove it
#
GWG Margin is not necessarily the best idea
#
GWG Can we go back to 1995 HTML standards? That's when I started

[jgmac1106] and do layouts with tables only, no way, feel like Grid is freedom from floats and margins, but now my mind just gets stuck in the gutter

GWG jgmac1106, cute
#
aaronpk What's going on with the mf2 on [Rose]'s home page? It's quite a mess of content
#
GWG Not sure
#
GWG I am sure she'll fix it if showed
gRegorLove_ and [Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose] I am here!
#
[Rose] And I have no idea, I think it's Gutenberg playing badly with Autonomie
#
[Rose] My feeds are also a mess, I want to figure out how to set the "primary" RSS feed for WordPress
#
[Rose] Ok, I think my homepage is better now
[cleverdevil] joined the channel
#
[Rose] Urgh, Autonomie is not working as I expect it to, I remove a function and it still displays the author on every post
#
jeremycherfas Can’t you remove it from the templates?
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] are you using post kinds? that could be injecting the author
#
[Rose] I am using post kinds, and I removed it from the templates
#
[Rose] I also have a weird theming issue where my sidebar is stuck under my content, and I have no idea why.
[frank], [calumryan] and [kim_landwehr] joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas I think I had that sidebar thing and it was a max width thing, IIRC. sorry about the duff template suggestion. I think I went display: none; for the byline stuff.
#
[Rose] I had it working briefly, but then it stopped again. I'll get back to that in a moment.
#
jeremycherfas It couldn’t be something obvious like an I closed div tag? I’m on my phone so can’t really look.
#
jeremycherfas Should the sidebar show on single posts? Because I don’t think I am seeing it at all on the phone.
#
[Rose] I moved the widgets into a sidebar I made, which is only on archive pages right now.
#
[Rose] I want it to be on single posts too, but I need to fix it first 😆
#
jeremycherfas I’ll stop making “helpful” suggestions and go to sleep.
#
[Rose] Display none is helpful though 😛
