chrisaldrich GWG++ for the updated Syndication Links, and even a few additional tweaks after-the-fact!

Loqi GWG has 76 karma in this channel over the last year (145 in all channels)
#
GWG_ chrisaldrich: There will be a 4.2.1 after I give it time to get more feedback like yours. In the interim, the changes you suggested are in the repo

[tonz] anyone here with experience in importing an Twitter messages export into Wordpress? When I search I mostly find plugings that PESOS to Wordpress. As I am (mostly) POSSE’ing to Twitter, I am looking at backfilling my WP site with old tweets. I have a similar question about importing an old Delicious bookmark archive.
[Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose] I am curious as to the answer. I presume someone in the IndieWev community has created a twitter import. I know micro.blog has something for Instagram, maybe they also have Twitter?

[xavierroy] [tonz] Have you check Keyring Social Importers (https://github.com/beaulebens/keyring-social-importers)
#
Loqi [beaulebens] keyring-social-importers: A collection of importers which pull your content back from social networks, and into your own WordPress install.
#
[xavierroy] I haven't used it for twitter, but I use it for Instagram and fitbit
#
[tonz] thanks [xavierroy]! I will take a look if I can make that do what I want.
#
[xavierroy] Hope it works... You can fork that and add the required microformats

GWG_ Morning gang
Ruxton, Oclair, [jgmac1106] and tsrt^ joined the channel
#
GWG_ Moving on to refreshing the icons in Indieweb if anyone has any issues with that plugin
[Rose] and jacky3 joined the channel
#
GWG_ [Rose]: chrisaldrich tested the new micro.blog POSSE option in Syndication Links. He found a few minor issues. Would you try it to see if you have any issues before I push a hotfix?
#
[Rose] I can try it!
#
GWG_ Thank you. Tell me if the instructions on the settings page are clear. I amended them a few times
#
GWG_ They missed you need your micro.blog username in your WordPress user profile
#
[Rose] Ok, there are paragraph tags visible there
#
[Rose] Micro.Blog does not show up as a syndication destination through Quill
#
[Rose] I refreshed the list, and now it has no destinations.
#
GWG_ [Rose]: Did you enable the list in the settings page?
#
[Rose] Yes
#
GWG_ I was asked to switch it from a disable to an enable list
#
[Rose] I have Twitter via Bridgy and micro.blog, neither show up.
#
[Rose] I have two destinations enabled.
#
GWG_ Hmm
#
GWG_ Does it show them in the post editor? Just to check
#
GWG_ You can also uncheck everything, which is the same as checking everything
#
[Rose] It does show them there
#
GWG_ Hmmm
#
GWG_ I wonder why it isn't showing
#
[Rose] Quill says:
#
[Rose] > No syndication targets were found on your site. Your server can provide a list of supported syndication targets that will appear as checkboxes here.
#
GWG_ You might need to refresh again
#
[Rose] I refreshed it a few times
#
[Rose] Wait, I also have no media endpoint
#
[Rose] Something is very very wrong
#
[Rose] https://micropub.rocks/server-tests/600?endpoint=326
#
[Rose] This is not happy
#
GWG_ That should not be related
#
[Rose] I am getting a 404 on my site config though
#
[Rose] I think it may have been looking in the wrong place
#
[Rose] Ok, it was looking in the wrong place, signed in again and it worked, 200. And it has all the right data so Quill just can't find it.
#
[Rose] And signing out of quill and back in got that fixed.
#
[Rose] A lot of fields are not showing in the post editor when I got to edit it
#
GWG_ Which fields?
#
[Rose] Like the Post Metadata that I usually have
#
[Rose] Specifically everything below the editor in that column
#
[Rose] The sidebar widgets still show in the editor.
#
[Rose] So I have no syndication links, custom fields, categories, or Post Meta
#
GWG_ Can you hit screen and add them? Maybe they got disabled?
#
[Rose] No, that dropdown doesn't work
#
[Rose] If I create a new post then it's fine
#
GWG_ Anything in the error log?
#
[Rose] The same things are in the JS console on both pahes
#
[Rose] *pages
#
[Rose] The post didn't syndicate to micro.blog either
#
GWG_ It takes about 60 seconds for that, give or take
#
[Rose] I posted it 7 minutes ago

Loqi [Rosemary Orchard] I may have decorated my office for Christmas! https://rosemaryorchard.com/?p=5187 https://rosemaryorchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/IMG_0864-2.jpeg
#
[Rose] The photo post I did this morning has the same issue
#
GWG_ You updated the feed on micro.blog?
#
[Rose] I added the feed there, I didn't delete the others yet
#
GWG_ Still should work
#
[Rose] Micro.Blog's feed page disagrees:
#
[Rose] *Error:* unknown error ArgumentError
#
[Rose] https://rosemaryorchard.com/feed/json/?microdotblog=1
#
GWG_ Yes, it is picking up the comment feed
#
GWG_ Does Jsonfeed normally work for you?
#
[Rose] Yes
#
[Rose] Trying a note
#
[Rose] https://rosemaryorchard.com/microblog/5189/
#
Loqi [Rosemary Orchard] I do love wrapping presents, so having things arrive which need to be wrapped is filling me with cheer! And chocolate, but that’s because I keep eating the Christmas chocolate supplies I put on my desk for my co-workers… Also posted on: Twitter i...
#
[Rose] The note doesn't have the issue with the broken editor
#
GWG_ I see a potential issue
#
[Rose] It syndicated to Twitter, waiting to see if micro.blog works
#
GWG_ Your Jsonfeed is messed up
#
[Rose] A comment on syndication: usually if I check the box to syndicate (e.g. to Twitter via Bridgy), then it syndicates _again_, I presume micro.blog is either "this is on micro.blog" or "this is not on micro.blog", so you may need to separate those out. You could always turn each one into a button.
#
[Rose] Ok, what's wrong with my JSONfeed?
#
[Rose] I'm using Manton and Brent's plugin
#
[Rose] My json feed has no posts it seems
#
GWG_ It's returning the comments feed, not the main feed at /microblog/feed/json
#
[Rose] This one works: https://rosemaryorchard.com/exclude/kind/like,checkin,favourite,watch,play,eat,drink,bookmark,repost/feed/json
#
GWG_ You are using a subdirectory
#
[Rose] So it's probably the category plugin I have to make things a top level category
#
[Rose] I am not
#
GWG_ I meant in your url
#
GWG_ But it probably is confusing the feed generation to think it isn't an archive
#
[Rose] I am using *FV Top Level Categories*
#
GWG_ Worth figuring out
#
[Rose] Disabling it
#
GWG_ We should open an issue to figure it out
#
[Rose] That did not fix it
#
[Rose] What kind of issue is it? I would think this is a JSONfeed issue
#
Loqi +1
#
GWG_ Yes, but it's a plugin combination issue.
#
GWG_ So I'd highlight it on the Jsonfeed plugin
#
GWG_ The maintainer should be able to figure it out
#
GWG_ By the way, I took over maintaining it
#
GWG_ You finding things like this does help in improving overall
#
GWG_ Found the issue
#
GWG_ In the other plugin
#
[Rose] Which other plugin? 😛
#
GWG_ https://github.com/foliovision/fv-top-level-cats/blob/master/top-level-cats.php#L88
#
GWG_ Add in json manually and save the permalinks page
[LewisCowles] joined the channel
#
[Rose] Wait, what? Where? How?
#
[Rose] Ok, figured it out. Pull request sent, editing my local copy
#
[Rose] But that doesn't explain why it didn't get fixed when I deactivated the plugin
#
GWG_ Edit the line in the version of the top level categories plugin installed on your site.
#
GWG_ It is still showing the comments feed on your top level page
#
GWG_ /feed/json That is a Jsonfeed bug
#
[Rose] I just did the edit
#
[Rose] How can I tell WordPress to clear the cache for something like this?
#
GWG_ Is your site installed in /blog ?
#
GWG_ Because when I do /feed it redirects to /blog/feed
#
[Rose] No, my site is not in /blog. But that is my main feed
#
[Rose] I have a redirect there, removing that
#
[Rose] Redirect disabled
#
GWG_ Wait...now it is working
#
[Rose] I think the redirects may have been a problem
#
GWG_ So, it was somehow confusing it as to what feed to pull
#
[Rose] I guess so
#
[Rose] Trying to re-syndicate to micro.blog
#
[Rose] And re-syndicating fixed my editor issue!?
#
[Rose] But the posts are not in my syndication feed 😞 https://rosemaryorchard.com/blog/feed/json?microdotblog=1
#
GWG_ It's still redirecting to /blog
#
GWG_ https://rosemaryorchard.com/?microdotblog=1&feed=json
#
GWG_ See, query without rewrites works
#
GWG_ Links show on both
#
GWG_ Clearly though, I need to factor in some of the things learned here
#
[Rose] That was me copying the wrong link, I think it's working now?
#
GWG_ Like...check to make sure your feed is working
#
[Rose] https://micro.blog/rosemaryorchard
#
GWG_ Yes
#
[Rose] I have new posts!
#
GWG_ And it linked back

Loqi [Rosemary Orchard] Bookmark: Syndication Links now supports per-post syndication to Micro.blog from WordPress by an author Dit is mooi nieuws zeg. De Indieweb plugin Syndication Links maakt het je mogelijk om op je blog artikelen, notities en andere berichten te plaats...
#
[Rose] Ok, that's a bookmark, not a like.
#
[Rose] No, it;s a like of a bookmark. Confusing.
