chrisaldrich wonders when I passed the 4 digit post ID threshold as I sit somewhere around https://boffosocko.com/?p=55763441 right now....
# chrisaldrich I've had a handful of sites where I started from scratch. I actually think mine is somewhat artificially high at the moment because I imported a bunch of stuff from another platform a few years back and that bumped the number up.
# chrisaldrich My current number of posts is above 18,000 at the moment, but with drafts and revisions it would naturally be about 2 or 3x that number based on how WP increments.
# chrisaldrich When you own all of your social posts, the number climbs pretty quickly as I've discovered.
# chrisaldrich GWG, did you fix your whitelist issue or does it need more testing?

GWG https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-zones/ - I'm thinking the question suggests the person is looking for a different sort of plugin. Trying to figure out if there is anything I might do here

[xavierroy] Looks like he wants some posts to be displayed only when the reader is within a geofence. The idea is cool. Someone visiting my home can see only posts that have the location set to my home.
# [xavierroy] Isn't that an usecase for Vouch?

# Suw Hiya. I'm a friend of Kevin Marks, who suggested I post here. I am going to be moving a bunch of blogs onto a single WP multisite installation.
# Suw Is there a better way to copy over the blogs than WP export and import? Or is that the easiest way to do it?
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
# 
[jgmac1106] you can try the WP2Static plugin, they have an export tool I find works better
# Suw Thanks! I shall take a look!
# Suw Project is a little delayed as I realised I'd forgotten to change the nameservers over... doh!

# billbennettnz What do you do if a web mention link breaks? I have a few web mentions from Twitter where the commentor has switched to a new @handle I can leave them as broken links... that's cool, but is there a better way to deal with them?
# billbennettnz Yes, they come via bridgy, will look there
# [Ian_Forrester] Hi there... just trying to get to the bottom of my IndieAuth problems
# [Ian_Forrester] Hitting this problem with my site - cubicgarden.com - "In order to ensure IndieAuth tokens will work please visit the settings page to check: Visit Settings Page"
# [Ian_Forrester] Authorization has Failed
# [Ian_Forrester] Yes click the json links
# [Ian_Forrester] Me and the WPengine dev update my htaccess and I added defines to my wp-config.php as describe here - https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-micropub#frequently-asked-questions
# [Ian_Forrester] We tried both - `SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1`
# [Ian_Forrester] and `RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%
{HTTP:Authorization}]`# [Ian_Forrester] In my PHP we added
# [Ian_Forrester] this ...
# [Ian_Forrester] define('MICROPUB_AUTHENTICATION_ENDPOINT', 'https://indieauth.com/auth');
# [Ian_Forrester] define('MICROPUB_TOKEN_ENDPOINT', 'https://tokens.indieauth.com/token');
# [Ian_Forrester] # Define a custom authentication endpoint. Can be overridden in the settings interface
# [Ian_Forrester] # Define a custom token endpoint. Can be overridden in the settings interface.
# [Ian_Forrester] define('MICROPUB_NAMESPACE', 'micropub/1.0' );
# [Ian_Forrester] # By default the namespace for micropub is micropub/1.0. This would allow you to change this for your endpoint
# [Ian_Forrester] # Disable notices for insecure sites
# [Ian_Forrester] define('MICROPUB_DISABLE_NAG', 1 );
# [Ian_Forrester] define('MICROPUB_LOCAL_AUTH', 1 );
# [Ian_Forrester] # Disable built in AUTH in favor of your own plugin.
# [Ian_Forrester] Ok will do
# [Ian_Forrester] Can I add the # to stop them working for now
# [Ian_Forrester] Oh whoops
# [Ian_Forrester] Ok so I should put
# [Ian_Forrester] // define('MICROPUB_AUTHENTICATION_ENDPOINT', 'https://indieauth.com/auth');
# [Ian_Forrester] // define('MICROPUB_TOKEN_ENDPOINT', 'https://tokens.indieauth.com/token');
# [Ian_Forrester] Done
# [Ian_Forrester] Ok cool
# [Ian_Forrester] so they are disable for now
# [Ian_Forrester] Ok need to find it a sec
# [Ian_Forrester] Sorry bit slow connecting the sftp
# GWG If you go to that link, and put https://cubicgarden.com/wp-content/plugins/indieauth/authdiag.php in the URL box, it runs this.
# [Ian_Forrester] Sorry its taking a while to show the directory structure
# [Ian_Forrester] Ok I might need to get the admin to edit the HTaccess because I can't find it via sftp
# [Ian_Forrester] Ignore that found it
# [Ian_Forrester] of course its hidden 🙂
# [Ian_Forrester] Currently includes - RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%
{HTTP:Authorization}]# [Ian_Forrester] Ok cool
# [Ian_Forrester] This is where I can use # right? as the htaccess actually has
# [Ian_Forrester] #RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%
{HTTP:Authorization}]# [Ian_Forrester] #SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
# [Ian_Forrester] # IndieAuth
# [Ian_Forrester] RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%
{HTTP:Authorization}]# [Ian_Forrester] Ok
# [Ian_Forrester] Support tried a few times in combination
# [Ian_Forrester] Ok its trying to get my wordpress.com account...
# [Ian_Forrester] Yes
# [Ian_Forrester] Secure Connection Failed
# [Ian_Forrester] An error occurred during a connection to cubicgarden.com.
# [Ian_Forrester] The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
# [Ian_Forrester] Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.
# [Ian_Forrester] Ok to share?
# [Ian_Forrester] I wasn't trying to decide if the State="" was useful or not
# [Ian_Forrester] Shoot
# [Ian_Forrester] I'm logged in with my login details for my site (not my Wordpress.com)
# [Ian_Forrester] I can login in with that if needed
# [Ian_Forrester] I have two users cubicgarden = WP.com and ianforrester = local login for my WP
# [Ian_Forrester] I'm using the google one
# [Ian_Forrester] I can login with both if that helps, right now I'm using ianforrester user
# [Ian_Forrester] yep the local login does have 2fa on it too
# [Ian_Forrester] but currently logged in to wp with firefox which I'm using for blogging and trying to get indieauth working
# [Ian_Forrester] I could temp turn off 2fa?
# [Ian_Forrester] temporally?
# [Ian_Forrester] Ok its off now, yes I am using that one
# [Ian_Forrester] Should I log out of WP and then back in again?
# [Ian_Forrester] Ok sorry I tried with and without
# [Ian_Forrester] Any idea where the problem lies?
# [Ian_Forrester] Ok
# [Ian_Forrester] turning back on 2fa
