SpencerDub A question for anyone familiar with the Autonomie theme: is there any way to change colors in the theme without creating a whole new child theme? I've tried adding CSS via WordPress's "custom CSS" tool, but it doesn't seem to override the theme's defaults.
#
SpencerDub I don't mind making a child theme, but I'm uncertain what all I'd need to enqueue in the child theme's `functions.php`.

#
[pfefferle] What color do you want to change?
#
Loqi [pfefferle]: GWG left you a message on 2020-01-19 at 3:58pm UTC: I feel like I am flooding you with PRs. Do you want me to try to find another reviewer for the projects under the Indieweb repo?
#
[pfefferle] should make a demo child theme
#
SpencerDub Oh hey, pfefferle. You're the person to ask. :)
#
[pfefferle] ☺
#
SpencerDub I want to play with background colors for both light and dark versions. And link highlight colors.
swentel left the channel
#
[pfefferle] Background of the whole site or only for paragraphs?
#
SpencerDub Whole site.
#
SpencerDub Though now that I'm saying this, I also want to tweak the theme to add support for featured images in categories, so maybe it'd be more useful to just get a child theme running anyway.
#
[pfefferle] !tell GWG I will try to review as much as I can, but feel free to add other reviewers if you trust them
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[pfefferle] I think loqi blocked some of my answers 😞
#
GWG [pfefferle]: I just fear overloading you, especially when I'm stuck in a hotel for 2 months and have nothing better to do than code
[Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
#
[Michael_Beckwit honestly, as long as the CSS selector matches or is stronger, and loads last, you should be able to override any CSS property
#
[Michael_Beckwit Customizer "Additional CSS" panel and all
#
[Michael_Beckwit hi Matthias, btw
#
[pfefferle] @SpencerDub I will try to add a demo child theme to my github profile later today, so you have a starting point!
#
[pfefferle] And I will have a look if it is possible to add some more settings to make the background color customizable
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Either way, I invited [Michael_Beckwit to be a reviewer on some projects as appropriate to his comfort level
#
[pfefferle] 👍
#
[pfefferle] Have you add him to the wordpress group?
#
GWG I think I still have some IndieAuth and Webmention stuff
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Yes
#
[pfefferle] Then you can simply require a review from the group and everyone in the group will get a reminder
#
[Michael_Beckwit :thumbsup_all:
#
GWG Right now, trying to fiddle with automatically generating forms for a post UI using a simplified schema like array
#
SpencerDub @pfefferle That would be awesome, thanks!
#
[pfefferle] thinks about adding negative margins to be more error resistent with Autonomie 😏
#
[pfefferle] GWG the IndieAuth merge requests are very big and it’s hard for me atm. To find the time to review it properly
#
[Michael_Beckwit pets his Autonomie child theme
#
Ruxton [pfefferle]: negative margins are a nightmare space, be careful
#
GWG [pfefferle]: I know. The same with the mf2 stuff for webmentions. I couldn't figure out how to break them up
#
Ruxton hits his Autonomie teen theme
#
[pfefferle] But there are so much plugins that do not add proper containers or some weird css so they stick to the left 😞
#
[pfefferle] GWG I will review the wm for sure!
#
[chrisaldrich] Loqi, Autonomie or Sempress?
#
SpencerDub One last question: How could I make the h-card on my WordPress blog reflect the h-card at my dedicated bio page? Right now I have two different h-cards.
#
Loqi I'm pretty sure sempress
#
GWG [pfefferle]: The mf2 webmention stuff is waiting to see if it can merge, then I can see about some unit tests as well. I find writing them a challenge though
#
SpencerDub (this is a very newbie question, I'm still wrapping my mind around mf2 stuff)
#
[chrisaldrich] What is authorship?
#
Loqi authorship is how to indicate who the author is for a post, and an algorithm that determines the author of a post https://indieweb.org/authorship
#
GWG SpencerDub: You can only have one h-card per se
#
GWG So, where do you want it... homepage or about page?
#
[chrisaldrich] SpencerDub, there are some ideas on that link ^^
#
GWG You have one direct to other
#
GWG [pfefferle]: That's why I am waiting..if you don't like the direction, no point in adding tests
#
[Michael_Beckwit i'm mostly just glad that i'm regularly-enough blogging again, long-ish form and everything
#
SpencerDub Thanks for the link, that page gives me a place to start.
#
[chrisaldrich] SpencerDub, I was doing the same thing a week or two back. Using indiewebify.me can be helpful for testing.
#
SpencerDub @chrisaldrich Yup, it's in my toolbelt!
#
[chrisaldrich] There are also some useful parsers listed at /tools
#
[pfefferle] Isn‘t it also possible to add a rel-me link to the profile page?
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Yes, but no consumer looks at that
#
[pfefferle] That’s not very DRY
#
[pfefferle] What consumer uses the „global“ h-card atm.?
#
GWG I know we discussed the idea of a property in an h-card that represented where to find an expanded card, but it never went anywhere
#
[pfefferle] And why do I need a global h-Card?
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Global meaning?
#
[pfefferle] An h-Card on my homepage
#
GWG [pfefferle]: The idea being your h-card represents you and your homepage is your identity
#
[Michael_Beckwit bed time for me, catch y'all later.
#
[pfefferle] Ok, but is there any usecase?
#
[pfefferle] A real consumer?
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Of the split h-card, not at the moment. It was mostly discussed as a clutter issue
#
[pfefferle] Hmmm
#
[pfefferle] I ask, because it is so often discussed but I never saw anything consuming it
#
[pfefferle] I have none on my site and never had issues
#
[pfefferle] Otherwise I would love to add it to Autonomie if it is required
#
GWG The only thing I know that everyone consumes is a basic h-card linked on the consuming page.
#
[pfefferle] Like webmentions?
#
GWG Yes, or Microsub readers
#
GWG So, name, url, photo
#
GWG And if just url, most will retrieve the URL to get the other.
#
[pfefferle] Yes, but that is no problem, because of the h-entry author
#
[pfefferle] I just think about why/how to add a homepage h-card
#
GWG [pfefferle]: For person tagging
#
[pfefferle] And that is done by?
#
GWG aaronpk, for example, tags my URL all the time when we are at the same Indiewebcamp
#
GWG He's not alone
#
GWG chrisaldrich person tags me
#
GWG Webmention to homepage
#
[pfefferle] Hmmm
#
GWG Also, nickname caches would have to get their data from somewhere
#
GWG So a minimal h-card might be needed
#
[pfefferle] Ok, thanks for the explanation
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Hope I was clear/right
#
[pfefferle] 😊
#
[pfefferle] Sure

stefanos82 greetings everyone.
#
stefanos82 what's the WordPress topic of the day?
#
GWG stefanos82: Not sure...slow day. Anything on your mind?
#
stefanos82 custom tables for WooCommerce?
#
stefanos82 so many metadata that should have been in their own tables
#
GWG stefanos82: Haven't followed it much, to be honest.
#
stefanos82 no worries
#
stefanos82 right now, I'm facing a rather peculiar issue with woocommerce
#
stefanos82 I have a product that expires tonight local time at 23:59 and for some reason it considers it expired and shows its regular price
#
stefanos82 weird...
#
GWG Do you have a personal website?
#
stefanos82 not a personal, but one that I have worked for, for a couple of months
#
stefanos82 I worked on customizing it as much as possible
#
stefanos82 for a customer
#
GWG A lot of our discussions in this channel are about personal sites
#
stefanos82 I see
#
stefanos82 well, you could say this website feels like a personal one, at least to me
#
GWG stefanos82: Just curlu
#
stefanos82 what's curlu?
#
GWG Just curious..
#
GWG Sorry, mobile
#
stefanos82 ah lol
#
stefanos82 you can visit it if you want to
#
stefanos82 it's frescomarket.com.cy
#
stefanos82 the problem is visible in https://frescomarket.com.cy/en/on-sale/
#
GWG Cy is Cypress, right?
#
stefanos82 Cyprus
#
stefanos82 Cypress is a tree lol
#
GWG Sorry, typo
#
GWG Autocomplete again
#
stefanos82 the products that do not display red "Sale!" on their upper left corner display their regular price
#
GWG But the #wordpress room might have some Woocommerce experts
#
stefanos82 but when I go to the product in dashboard, I can see the expiring sales date is today
#
stefanos82 they don't talk at all, I have tried
#
GWG We're #indieweb-wordpress
#
GWG Odd.
#
stefanos82 they have moved to slack
#
stefanos82 that's why
#
GWG We might have someone here who uses Woocommerce.
#
stefanos82 that would be very helpful
#
GWG I personally don't, not sure I can help
#
GWG You might need to watch the room
#
beko hm? don't they bridge to Slack?
#
GWG See if someone reads the scrollup
#
stefanos82 beko: I have no idea as I don't use Slack myself
#
beko I won't until the pidgin plugin works again. Damn legacy tokens ._.
#
stefanos82 the wordpress channel has 13 users, wordpress-dev 13, and woocommerce 15
#
stefanos82 so...
