# TeeBaggage I'm wondering how to disable Wordpress' moveForm functionality for comments. I'd like to have a separate form for a main reply and reply to comments

# cambridgeport90 I haven't been at this for a bit, but how does one troubleshoot http 500 errors in auth endpoints? Some clients work with my site, others don't. Quill does something weird; post actually succeeds, but gives a failure message. Big long one. Needless to say, I have the latest versions of Wordpress, and all of the IndieWeb plugins. error is as follows: Micropub Response Below is the response from your Micropub endpoint. This may contain

[grantcodes] Most classic and easy of all wp testing methods is to disable all other plugins and move to a default theme and try again. Then you might be able to get an idea of where it came from at least\

# 
[jgmac1106] ^^^ is a major reason I left WP
# [jgmac1106] nothing more infuriating then every plugin customer service advice starting with "turn off all other plugins, then turn them on one by one, when you find the plugin (that you really need) that conflicts with ours delete it
# [grantcodes] The perils of an open ecosystem. People write bad code 😄
[Michael_Beckwi] joined the channel
# [Michael_Beckwi] I do quite my fair share of WP support as my dayjob, and the part about “find the conflicting plugin and delete it” is…not the right advice
# [Michael_Beckwi] yes, find the conflicting item, but at that point everyone involved should be seeing what can be done to help resolve while retaining both
# [Michael_Beckwi] I’ve seen cases of say “headers already sent” with ajax/http requests that are caused by unrelated plugins having basic “php notice” errors output.

[chrisaldrich] Most times I've run into plugin conflicts both sides have almost fallen over each other in a race to make it easier first. Sometimes it depends on whether it's a paid product or someone's side-hustle or hobby, but generally it gets resolved as long as one has some patience.
# [chrisaldrich] If you stick with any particular project long enough, you're going to run into issues. It's the "how problems are handled" that make some projects better than others. Just because you get a bad response from one person may just mean they're having a bad day.
# [chrisaldrich] hatesec, I remember waiting a beat or two on upgrading for some tweaks relating to IndieWeb things to catch up, but otherwise I didn't have any issues. Is there something particular you're worried about? Have you tried it on a local or test server?

# bishop_bautista is it ok to ask wordpress questions here?
[Michael_Beckwi] joined the channel
# [Michael_Beckwi] generally yeah, though i think it’s ideal to be questions focused on working within the indieweb, rather than general support questions. I may be wrong though

# cambridgeport90 So looks like I'll be taking out plugins one by one ... this is going to be fun. I keep looking for a server error of some kind, though this could very easily be something with PHP, couldn't it?
