beko[m] My webmention endpoint vanished from DOM. This worked just fine minutes ago. I did a Posts Bulk Edit and set Pings to ALLOW. It's like this since. It's enabled for Posts/Media/Pages, Comments are ON, Pingback is ON. Disabling/Enabling plugin didn't help, there is no error in my php error log with DEBUG enabled. It is there for new posts again so I guess mass edit killed something in the DB.

Loqi GWG: [snarfed] left you a message 37 minutes ago: just fyi beko is looking at adding bridgy mastodon to the wp synd links plugin: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/893
# beko GWG: bridgy mastodon Works like a charm with syndication-links plugin: https://beko.famkos.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/gnome-shell-screenshot-KNX99Z-768x487.png (now that the WebmentionGetHandler listens on publish/mastodon :D)

# cambridgeport90[ How hard is it to create an automatic syndication point for the syndication links plugin? I know enough PHP to define a variable and could possibly work off a template for now providing I knew what I was looking at.
[chrisbergr] joined the channel
# cambridgeport90[ I can't words, apparently LOL. You know how the syndication links plugin has some things it supports where you don't have to enter the link manually? I am trying to see how complicated it might be to add another plugin's support for it. It currently supports both Bridgy and SNAP. We need more.
# cambridgeport90[ The WP To Twitter plugin has everything except for that feature. I was wondering how to add it to syndication links.
# 
[chrisbergr] You mean because I mentioned you earlier? I was surprised that there is no Sparkline plugin available for WordPress yet. With post kinds support like https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitysparks/
# [chrisbergr] But I don't want you to do this, just let me do something 🙂
# cambridgeport90[ If it is quick enough, I might be able to pull one of my people off of our main project.
# cambridgeport90[ Is that a visual thing?
# cambridgeport90[ Same here. Being blind has a lot to do with that.
# [chrisbergr] As I said, let me try to build this spark line thing as a independent plugin. Or do you want to integrate it to post kinds as a widget?
# [chrisbergr] I guess it's "an independent"...
# cambridgeport90[ I try.
# cambridgeport90[ I'm not surprised. A lot of people don't know what they're looking at.
# cambridgeport90[ You guys do absolutely fine. It's some other random ones that I've encountered where I've had issues.
# [chrisbergr] Now I've read Interdependent for the first time. But yes, that's what I meant. New plugin, interdependent with post kinds.
# [chrisbergr] @ accessibility: It's a shame, I always have it in my mind, but if I'm honest it's always way down on my priority list. I have to apologize and to do better! 😞
# [chrisbergr] @cambridgeport90[ Is it intentional that you have 2 times "about me" in your main menu at https://cambridgeport90.net/, both linked to the home page?
# cambridgeport90[ <[chrisbergr] "Now I've read Interdependent for"> It is not intentional at all that I have two of the same link on my home page. Just haven't figured out how to fix it.
# [chrisbergr] I guess the wordpress customizer is not the most accessible tool for that.
# cambridgeport90[ Has nothing to do with accessibility in that case. I just don't know where the option is. Friend of mine told me that it will show up like that because I used an existing static page as the home page.
# [chrisbergr] Ah you have the static homepage link an the dynamic link to that page.
# [chrisbergr] I guess you just have to remove the first item.

[chrisaldrich] cambridgeport90[ you might check /wp-admin/nav-menus.php where you'll find that setting. It's possible that you had one done manually and then WordPress has a toggle that automatically adds new pages to your menu and that doubled it up (unless you have your about page as your home as well.)
# cambridgeport90[ How do I get rid of the duplicate page without removing the content?
# [chrisaldrich] It's likely not a duplicate page, just a duplicate menu item...
# [chrisbergr] If you remove the menu item you don't remove the page. Don't worry.
# [chrisbergr] As [chrisaldrich] said, you can access the menu editor via https://cambridgeport90.net/wp-admin/nav-menus.php?action=edit
# cambridgeport90[ Sounds like I just need to then remove it from the actual menu. I also need to do something with the colors, as well; was shooting for the rred and light gray look, though I don't know CSS at all. At the moment looks like a cardinal shed everywhere.
# [chrisbergr] There is no red on the page.
# cambridgeport90[ Dang. There should be.
# cambridgeport90[ I haven't figured out theme customization, that's for sure.
# [chrisbergr] May I ask you how you imagine red? if I have understood correctly, you are blind since birth? I hope the question isn't inappropriate.
# cambridgeport90[ One thing I am lucky enough to have is color recognition in good lighting, particularly sunlight or Philips Hue lighting. My favourite colors have been red and blue mainly.
# [chrisbergr] These are the two colours that give the most temperature. Warm and cold.
# [chrisbergr] Are you able to inspect the source code of your website? -To find classes and ids of elements to modify their color via css?
# cambridgeport90[ If I know what I am looking for. I do have access to the PHP files.
# [chrisbergr] in the customizer you have the option "additional css" (typically the last item).
# [chrisbergr] There you can add definitions like
# [chrisbergr] .entry-title
{ color: red; }# cambridgeport90[ Ah. So that is for the end-user facing pages?
# [chrisbergr] exactly
# cambridgeport90[ Don't you need the color codes, though?
# [chrisbergr] If you tell me what you want to define, I can provide you a list of classes if you wan't to do it yourself. Or if you want, I can create the whole css for you, than you just copy and paste it there.
# [chrisbergr] you can use different color declarations. there is hex like #ff0000 or #f00; there is rgb rgb(255,0,0) there is hsl and others.. But if you don't look for an exact red value, you can just use the name red. There are a lot of color names
# cambridgeport90[ I am actually trying to learn how to do this, so I think just the classes will be more beneficial. I am going for light-gray text on a red background. In shades where the contrast is there but it doesn't kill the eyes.
