[Michael_Beckwit would I technically need to wrap a link in markup every single time if I wanted it to get extra styling like shown in https://cloudup.com/cyC2K7wGM6U ?
# [Michael_Beckwit mostly just checking if I’m going to need to create a fancy shortcode or something to help cover the details each time 😄
[cleverdevil] joined the channel
# [Michael_Beckwit For example, https://webmention.rocks/test/2
# [Michael_Beckwit the first one listed is mine
# [Michael_Beckwit however, i have some microformats added at https://michaelbox.net/2019/06/one-last-webmention/ around what i’m perceiving to be the webmention itself
# [Michael_Beckwit h-entry, u-author, h-card, u-url etc
# [Michael_Beckwit so the first part of my question is if i have to provide all that markup each time
# [Michael_Beckwit second part would actually be why it’s not showing up at webmention.rocks
# [Michael_Beckwit only idea i can think of is maybe i’m using the wrong test endpoint somehow
# [Michael_Beckwit no worries. i’m kind of giving up for the night on it, i’ll settle for the mentions sending in general 😄

MrKapowski Has anyone else updated to the latest version of the Webmention plugin?
[chrisaldrich] joined the channel
# 
[chrisaldrich] @MrKapowski, until you mentioned it I hadn't notice that there's a new version.
# [chrisaldrich] I did see that Matthias mention the other day that he was going to do a small upgrade since someone noticed that the plugin didn't have compatibility info with the last 3 versions of WordPress. Can't imagine there's too much changed though.
# [chrisaldrich] I'll update shortly pending time pre-Summit.
# MrKapowski there hasn't been anything but cosmetic changes that I can see, but for some reason updating to the latest version breaks my Syndication Links syndication targets
# MrKapowski I was wondering if anyone else had experienced that, so I could narrow it down to an issue in one of those 2 plugins, or an issue with my WP install in general
# [chrisaldrich] I would look at it tonight, but far past bedtime and tomorrow is going to be a crazy day... GWG may be able to look at it in the morning tomorrow
# MrKapowski I'm happy to look into it… was really just asking for validation I wasn't imagining it :-)

# 
[mrkrndvs] @mrkapowski mine are broken too if that counts as validation
neverstopeating[, [jgmac1106] and MrKapowski joined the channel
# MrKapowski [mrkrndvs] what worked for me was rolling back to the previous version of the webmention plugin. You'll need to delete it from WordPress, then install this zip instead: https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-webmention/archive/3.8.8.zip
# MrKapowski I've no idea why it's broken; there's nothing in the Webmention update which does anything substantial. I'm going to check the Syndication Links plugin when I get home

# big_dawg I'm having a redirect issue. The url has been changed after the site was migrated, both domain points to the same server, because of seo, I need all old urls to redirect to new domain name, tried many things in vhost, not working correctly, and there is an SSL. Can anyone help?
# 
jeremycherfas Can you give me examples of old and new permalinks? You should be able to figure something with htaccess rewrite rules.
# big_dawg if old is "os.com", and new is "ns.com" , and I type in "https://os.com", I get the "bad ssl page | The certificate used to encrypt your connection to this website does not match the domain it was issued for...
# big_dawg but if I click, continue anyway, then it redirects and goes to https://ns.com like it should
# jeremycherfas Where are you doing the redirect?
# big_dawg vhost conf file
# jeremycherfas I wonder whether it might be better in htacess
# jeremycherfas I haven't tried with the conf file.
# big_dawg that just has the default rewrites Wordpress always uses at the moment
# jeremycherfas When I changed from one CMS to another -- so base url remained the same but permalink unfortunately had to change, I created a rewrite rule that worked OK. So if all that has change is the base URL, I am sure you could do the same in htaccess under the old URL
# MrKapowski I had a similar issue. The best way I found to fix it was to generate a Let's Encrypt certificate for "os.com" and add it to the site config.
# big_dawg so the original site was migrated, there is no files currently associated with the old url. Are you saying I have to make a folder for the old url, and create a .htaccess just to redirect?
# jeremycherfas If you still have the old domain, then yes, that is what I was suggesting.
# jeremycherfas But for that, you need to keep the old domain for a while.
# MrKapowski to be clear - I was talking only about the SSL error
# big_dawg old site is gone, I only pointed dns to the new server when client told me they wanted redirect set up
# big_dawg or are you just talking about the registered domain name?
# jeremycherfas Old site is gone, but do you still own the domain?
# jeremycherfas I am talking about the registered domain name.
# big_dawg gotcha
# jeremycherfas Because that is where requests to os.com will go first.
# jeremycherfas I don't think you need anything there except the htacess file, and maybe, as MrKapowski said, an SSL. That part I don't know about.
# MrKapowski it's needed.
# MrKapowski The TLS connection happens before the server redirects
# MrKapowski if a valid cert is not in place, any requests to "https://os.com" will throw an error before being redirected
# jeremycherfas So, there you go.
# big_dawg is it possible to place the ns.com domain as the "A record" of the os,com, and have it go from there?
# MrKapowski not as an A record, no
# MrKapowski A records are something like www
# MrKapowski you might be able to use a CNAME
# MrKapowski but I've not had much success with those, personally
# big_dawg but doesn't leave the url in the browser looking like the old site?
# MrKapowski maybe? it's been a while since I used one. That's why you're better setting up a proper redirect on the server, including the SSL

# jeremycherfas Search Engines will prefer that too.
# MrKapowski http://os.com -> https://ns.com should work no bother without the cert, but if you need https://os.com to redirect, I'm afraid you do need one (in my experience)

# big_dawg ok, I'll grab one from Lets Encrypt, and see if that solves this. Thx to both of you for the help
# MrKapowski no problem at all - hope it works for you :-)

# jeremycherfas Yeah. Me too.

[jgmac1106] actually trying to think about how I will rebuild that feature, be nice if I didn't have to manually add everything and it could be just parsed
