shrysr it did not start out as https
#
shrysr i used lets encrypt and set that up myself.
#
shrysr how do i find wp-debug ? I recall using debug somewhere but cannot find it
#
shrysr sorry - the log error i mentioned earlier is apache's
#
shrysr i dont think there is a WP log that i've seen.
#
shrysr i am DYING to solve this!!! i have followed all the instructions AFAIK. indieauth recognises the indieauth server via these plugins. the other rel-me URL's from the WP profile are recognised.
#
shrysr does the plugin create a wp-json folder / file etc ? the redirect talks about s.ragavan.co/wp-json/auth ..... this path does not exist.
#
shrysr its been running on https for a while now... it was setup relatively early in the process.. several weeks ago.
#
GWG There is no wp-json folder
#
GWG It's a WordPress redirect
#
GWG Not a real folder
#
GWG By the way, are you sure you have the indieauth plugin enabled?
#
GWG https://s.ragavan.co/wp-json/indieauth/1.0
#
GWG It says the path is there
#
GWG So it should not have an issue on that ground.

#
shrysr the plugin is definitely activated
#
shrysr just deactivated and reactivated.... and tried again.. same message.
#
shrysr all the plugins in the indieweb plugin page are installed. and more.
#
GWG Is it possible something else is interfering?
#
GWG Any security plugins?
#
shrysr none that i know of. I can disable everything if you like to check
#
GWG Try disabling everything except that plugin, try it, and we'll bring other things back
#
shrysr except indieauth right?
#
shrysr i deactivated all the plugins. Reactivated ONLY indieauth plugin..... went back to the site and have the same message. this time -I have Only ONE source, that is the indieauth server itself.
#
shrysr i did sign up for webmentions.io earlier in the day. Do i have to delete my account or something over there?
#
GWG shrysr: Webmentions.io has nothing to do with wordpress.
#
shrysr holy shit
#
shrysr 1 sec
#
shrysr I just cleared all my browser cache.. for what itse worth. THought for a sec it worked. nope.... now indieauth doesnt show me the available sources. ... goes straight to the technical difficulties message
#
shrysr sorry.
#
shrysr indieauth says the authorisation header is found. no errors there.
#
GWG WordPress self-hosts the webmention endpoint. It doesn't need a third party one.
#
GWG I'm confused about where the tech difficulties is coming from
#
shrysr i'm going beyond confused :( no new error log .... should i go through the access logs ?
#
shrysr that is quite voluminous.
#
GWG And WP_DEBUG is on?
#
GWG This is frustrated, I agree.
#
shrysr how do i ensure wp_debug to be on?
#
shrysr is tht a plugin?
#
GWG https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG
#
shrysr ok
#
GWG That might add more details to the log
#
shrysr it is switched on now.
#
GWG Try it again and see if the log says anything helpful
#
shrysr yes i have more info
#
shrysr http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/1FdX0/?raw=true
#
shrysr it is a long errror, so i pasted it there. hope that is ok.

#
GWG Bingo
#
GWG You are missing a dependency.
#
GWG One, I'd better file a bug to check for it
#
GWG What distro is this Linode running
#
shrysr debian
#
shrysr debian 10 i think. do you need me to verify exactly?
#
GWG You have shell access?
#
shrysr yes
#
shrysr i am on weechat on the same server with tmux.
#
GWG Install php-mbstring
#
shrysr done
#
shrysr it was not installed earlier.
#
GWG That should fix it
#
GWG But I opened an issue.
#
GWG It should detect that
#
GWG The function in question is not critical.
#
GWG It should just skip discovery
#
shrysr I do get this NOTICE: Not enabling PHP 7.3 FPM by default.
#
shrysr NOTICE: To enable PHP 7.3 FPM in Apache2 do:
#
shrysr NOTICE: a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
#
shrysr NOTICE: a2enconf php7.3-fpm
#
shrysr do I need to do this as well ?
#
GWG Are you using FPM in Apache?
#
shrysr all i am doing is serving this wordpress site... via apache. Dont know anything about PHP or what exactly is FPM.. sorry.
#
GWG If it is working, don't change anything
#
shrysr it has been for the past several week.s
#
shrysr ok'
#
shrysr ITS DONE!?!?!?!???
#
shrysr I tried twice
#
shrysr its working!!
#

#
shrysr thanks so much GWG
#
GWG I'm sorry that it took so long to figure that out.
#
GWG Tell me if there is anything else in future.

#
shrysr I am still not able to figure out how you get your posts on twitter / Linked in to show up on a page
[tantek] joined the channel
#
GWG How are you posting to those sites?
[Lewis_Cowles] joined the channel
#
shrysr Hmm... Right now - i can create a post/bookmark whatever and syndicate this to twitter on my site. I have bridgy connected with twitter and github and medium. My question is that - if say i am on the twitter app and like / retweet whatever - how do I get that to show on my website ?
#
shrysr I am also unable to figure out how to add stuff to my h-card like in your website
#
shrysr i.e connect mastodon
#
shrysr how do I get my activity done on Those portals to pipe back to my website?
[grantcodes] joined the channel
#
GWG Do you want to post there and have it pulled back or post to your site and have it syndicated?
#
shrysr pulled back is what I want.
#
GWG Okay, lots of Twitter plugins for that
#
shrysr post to my site - and syndicate to twitter - is working now. I just installed ACtivitypub
#
GWG And you can post with a Micropub client
#
shrysr micropub client ?
[fluffy] joined the channel
#
shrysr I did not follow what you meant by that.
#
shrysr Also > GWG would you mind if I used portions from https://david.shanske.com/privacy/ ?
#
GWG A lot of it is from the standard privacy parts we added to the plugins after WordPress added that feature
#
GWG So its fine
#
GWG Do you have an Android or an iPhone?
#
GWG Micropub is a posting standard
#
shrysr Ahh i just went through https://indieweb.org/Micropub/Clients and see what you mean.
#
shrysr i have an iphone
#
GWG Quill is a webapp
#
GWG And I forget the name of eddie's native iOS app
#
GWG But could look it up
#
shrysr a few are listed on the link above
#
shrysr look quite interesting. That is exactly what I wanted as well.
[eddie] joined the channel
#
GWG I use Android, but I can post to my site with a Micropub client, and check a box to also syndicate to other sites
#
GWG And it is easy enough to add new options
#
shrysr hmm... I will check this out. As such I have the editorial app and can try to use the workflows described. do you happen to use Emacs?
#
shrysr org2blog
#
GWG No. I'm a VI sort.
#
GWG If you want to do Shortcuts on iOS, talk to [Rose], who is an expert I believwe
#
shrysr Okay. I've actually enjoyed hugo because I could public right from within emacs. SImilarly, org2blog enables publishing posts from Emacs... I was wondering how I could set 'kinds' from there.
#
GWG How does emacs publish?
#
GWG Micropub can be done with a simple form encoded submission
#
shrysr hmm I just installed eddie;s app indigenous and connected the website. I got the error that no microsubs detected
#
GWG Microsub or Micropub?
#
GWG Microsub is for feed reading
#
GWG Micropub is for posting
#
shrysr no microsub detected. So i installed the yarns microsub plugin. Now I can post ONLY a note. But i still see the same error - no microsubs detected
#
shrysr then after installing the microsub plugin - I have tried to post from iOS >> it popped up as a note on the website.
#
GWG Wonder why it is only allowing a note
#
shrysr from the app itself it appears one can only post a note. but when sharing from other apps - it can be a bookmark, like, reply repost
#
GWG I've never used it, but people like it

#
shrysr GWG: how did you modify your h-card?
#
shrysr i have an index.php and not an index.html ... where do I look for it and add links to linked in / mastodon ?
#
shrysr how do i syndicate feeds to mastodon ?
#
shrysr https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started_on_WordPress#Identity_2 >> this seems to have the answer.
