[jgmac1106] !tell beko love to talk strategies of trying to get a WP site rebuilt with a site download without a database...seems manual only option for me
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
[Grant_Hutchins] I’m tweaking my Wordpress syndication links and I have a question:
#
[Grant_Hutchins] I’m reading the part at the bottom of the syndication links settings page under the Micro.blog section and it says:
#
[Grant_Hutchins] ``````
#
[Grant_Hutchins] > Micro.blog requires you to add a feed under your account settings. Micro.blog polls that feed and uses it to create posts on the service. In order for you to use the syndication feature in this plugin, you need to remove all feeds and replace them with the one below and *set your micro.blog username in your WordPress user profile*. By default this using the JSONfeed if installed, otherwise RSS. This feed is generated by the same
#
[Grant_Hutchins] triggers used by the other providers. Please check to make sure the feed is working properly. A few seconds after publishing the plugin will poll micro.blog to get the link.
#
[Grant_Hutchins] How do I do the bold part? What does that mean?
#
[Grant_Hutchins] I also posted my question at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-set-micro-blog-username-in-your-wordpress-user-profile/#new-topic-0
#
[Grant_Hutchins] OK I figured it out: I need to go to my site wp-admin (not WordPress.com) and click on “Users” and edit my user. The field was there.
#
GWG [Grant_Hutchins]: Would you suggest we edit the text?
#
[Grant_Hutchins] I think so… I don’t think of editing my user as my “profile”
#
GWG It never occurred to me that someone might look in the WordPress.com user profile
#
[Grant_Hutchins] But I also understand that other people might think that way.
#
GWG [Grant_Hutchins]: The link says Your Profile
#
GWG But will have to think on alternative text
#
[Grant_Hutchins] “Users > Your Profile”
#
[Grant_Hutchins] I was looking in the sidebar for “profile” but didn’t know to look under Users.
#
[Grant_Hutchins] Of course it all makes sense now!
#
GWG I wonder if I can do a hyperlink
#
[Grant_Hutchins] Yeah that was what I was hoping would be possible
#
[Grant_Hutchins] Linking to `[wp-admin-path]/profile.php`
#
GWG Should be
#
GWG I use that feature
#
GWG [Grant_Hutchins]: How is it working for you otherwise?
#
[Grant_Hutchins] I think it’s working well so far. I haven’t posted much since setting it up so I will see how it goes.

GWG [Grant_Hutchins]: Feedback always appreciated
#
GWG I maintain a few of the Indieweb plugins
#
GWG Many of the best ideas came from people asking

#
[jgmac1106] gwg little lost with deprecation of Bridgy on how you set up POSSE
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: I folded the feature into Syndication Links
#
[jgmac1106] ...though may do apaid micro.blog account and do all POSSE through that as an engine
#
[jgmac1106] yes but like where do I go to set up the POSSE? connect Twitter? I don't see the box asking me
#
[jgmac1106] found it
#
GWG [jgmac1106]: I never moved the registration feature though. Everything else is there
#
GWG No auto post
#
[jgmac1106] the user needs to go to Brid.gy and connect their account yes?
#
GWG Yes. I used to have links for that in the plugin.
#
GWG But I didn't move them because it didn't add much.
#
[jgmac1106] Yeah that was the only place I fell down in the install knowing how to set up POSSE through syndication links
#
GWG May need to note in the settings page

#
[jgmac1106] just can't get the h-event to show up.....
#
[jgmac1106] I can't do it but [Michael_Beckwith] if you need another hack project I think adding mf2 to the events calendar plugin is quite doable...I just need the h-event in the post id...best I can do is a child of the h-entry
[Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
#
[Michael_Beckwit hmmm. h-event in events...have to believe it's doable somehow, just need to find the right ways in 😄
#
[jgmac1106] yeah I got the venue and datetime all working
