[xavierroy] [dshanske] Looks nice... Does it play well with post kinds?

#
GWG_ [xavierroy]: Does what?
#
[xavierroy] Simple location. Just found that I've to add kind/something/?map to display the mao
#
GWG_ There is no rewrite.
#
GWG_ I will probably add one to Post Kinds in future.
#
GWG_ I also pushed a refresh of Syndication Links to fix a missing icon

[Will_Monroe] I'm think I'm having trouble with Post Kinds on my WP 5.3 instance with the IW26 theme. I think that I used to see different content options when I switched between different Post Kinds and/or Categories. But now all I see is the text editor and a title option. Surely I've misconfigured something but I'm not sure what. I would be grateful for advice about what to troubleshoot.

[Will_Monroe] I think I've just realized that [dshanske] is updating the Post Kinds plugin now. My mistake for updating to WP 5.3 without double checking.
#
GWG_ I am?
#
GWG_ I am always updating, but didn't do anything on the last week
#
[Will_Monroe] [dshanske] maybe i misunderstood! I've lost the Post Properties options in my Classic Editor interface. I don't see any way to add URLs that auto-populate fields on that interface. I hope that this makes sense.

GWG_ Click screen options
#
GWG_ It should be there unchecked
#
[Will_Monroe] [dshanske] I see response properties but not post properties.
#
[Will_Monroe] am i missing any options?

#
[asuh] [Will_Monroe] it looks like the checkbox is ticked, which means they’ll be below the Categories.
#
[asuh] also, fyi, for those on IRC, you might want to upload a pic to a image host and provide a link so IRC users can also see that image, not just Slack users
#
[Will_Monroe] [asuh] thanks for the tip about images 👍
#
[asuh] I have a test setup on 5.3 and I can see the Kinds widget on the right side below Categories
#
GWG_ Same thing..
#
GWG_ I can go into Slack
#
GWG_ Check the response properties box
#
GWG_ I don't know how it keeps getting unchecked, but I will not be likely to redesign it again
#
GWG_ Sorry for the delay, was stuck in traffic and now waiting for an appointment
#
[asuh] I remember losing the response properties before as well, having to recheck that box up there to get that to show up
#
[asuh] after a previous upgrade
#
GWG_ Yes, annoying isn't it?
#
GWG_ I wish I could poll my users to learn some things
#
GWG_ If I added an alternative editor for notes and simple content, would that be worth it?
#
GWG_ I don't think I can trust the Classic Editor forever
#
[asuh] I get that frustration. At some point, you’ll also have to find a way to introduce this inside of Gutenberg too
#
GWG_ Yes, but I still don't get how to turn this into blocks
#
GWG_ Also dislike how they did blocks
#
[Will_Monroe] [asuh] [dshanske] here's what I have https://imgur.com/a/XI5dJvQ
#
GWG_ Yes, check response properties
#
[asuh] awesome, good job Will!
#
[asuh] GWG’s got the solution
#
GWG_ [asuh]: I am going to do some bug fixes and then will try to return to webmentions
#
GWG_ But I need a hack day project for 2 IWCs
