jeremycherfas I'm going to abuse my friends here and ask (for a friend) if there is a recommended plugin to supply opengraph information in WP.

beko that's weird.. a reply to a comment of mine resulted in a Webmention only because it's missing a reply-to url. I wonder why. May be Jetpack related.
#
[jgmac1106] beko are you using the jetpack share buttons?
#
beko [jgmac1106]: I think she does. There's some Like button and markup has jetpack all over it
#
beko [jgmac1106]: sorry, was afk for food
#
jeremycherfas !tell [xavierroy] I saw that one, but it struck me as odd that it was identical logo and description to one by Marcin Pietrzak which makes both of them suspicious in my mind. So, which to use, or neither?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
jeremycherfas Isn't will on here from time to time? I should just ask.
#
jeremycherfas Who is will norris
#
GWG He has been involved with the IndieWeb community.
#
jeremycherfas Yes.
#
[jgmac1106] beko, the jetpack share buttons often break mf2 markup
#
[jgmac1106] jeremycherfas also ask abotu the theme, many WP themes just include OG

#
jeremycherfas Yoast, Jetpack, all-in-one are all way more than I need for this.
#
[jgmac1106] yep I avoid them , just sharing popular options,

#
[Michael_Beckwi] to their credit, in general, they allow for toggling features off, but it’s mostly a question of how much do they load by default with which most people don’t really even touch settings once activated
#
jeremycherfas Thanks [jgmac1106] Popular options are easy to find, which is why I was looking for personal recommendations. :)

jeremycherfas FWIW I had a great reply from Will Norris and installed his plugin. So far, It does a great job, inserting `OG` meta data that seems entirely appropriate. If my friend needs to extend, which I doubt, the plugin looks great for that.

andysylvester GWG, I was able to log into Indieweb.com using IndieAuth.com and the Micropub plugin after disabling the IndieAuth plugin. I added a short edit on the IndieAuth page on the wiki to document this problem. Thanks again!
#
GWG I prefer the self-hosted. But doesn't work fro everyone
#
GWG AndySylvester: In the next version of IndieAuth the plugin, I'm bringing back remote IndieAuth as an option.
#
GWG If I get someone to review the PR

#
andysylvester I would be willing to take a look at it when it is ready.
#
GWG AndySylvester: Been ready for a few weeks now. PR reviewers are limited on the bigger PRs
