[chrisaldrich] GWG, it used to work properly on the twentysixteen theme though, so I'm curious what the difference/problem is?

# 
[pfefferle] [chrisaldrich] As far as I know, we never implemented facepiles for the RSVPs...
# [pfefferle] [chrisaldrich] I had a look, it should work! if you enable facepiles for rsvp, do you see them as both? facepiles and comments?

# [pfefferle] [chrisaldrich] do you have an example link for me?

beko GWG: got an example. https://php.microformats.io/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flostinawesome.wordpress.com%2F2020%2F07%2F14%2Fblogstoeckchen-narbengeschichten%2F looks just fine but I get nothing parsed in the WordPress backend. Comes back all empty but claims "Your URL has been successfully retrieved and parsed". This worked before for this very specific blog.

# 
[Erik] So, my question for when I have spare time again, how hard would it be to use webmention.io on a wordpress site?
[pfefferle] joined the channel
# [pfefferle] not that hard
[tw2113] joined the channel
# [pfefferle] 1. add the header
# [pfefferle] 2. find a place to show the comments (perhaps above/below the “real” comments)
# [Erik] I like that first line a lot. I hope you're right!
# [Erik] What would be your first/#1 source be?
# [Erik] (I'm gonna stream about my static wordpress setup on thursday. Really hope I can fix it before then!)
# [pfefferle] it depends if you are using classic wordpress with hooks or really a static thingy using gatsbyjs
# [pfefferle] or something similar
# [Erik] I run a very normal wordpress setup on my own network. Not reachable from "outside". It generates static pages that I push to github/netlify.
# [Erik] So classic ánd static
# [pfefferle] so the static sites are generated using the theme you have installed?
# [Erik] Yep
# [Erik] (Thanks for the help already)
# [pfefferle] simply replace `get_webmention_endpoint()` with
# [Erik] I'm not used to building extension for WordPress but you're making it look very manageable
# [pfefferle] otherwise you have to add it to the html code
# [pfefferle] of your theme
# [pfefferle] but that is a bit hacky
# [Erik] Working with the extension would be very nice. Storing it in the DB like it does
# [pfefferle] or you have to include it in the statify process
# [Erik] Being able to treat them like "normal" comments is really nice
# [pfefferle] but it will not really work in your static site env
# [pfefferle] because you have to reverence the dynamic endpoint and you have to regenerate the static files on every mention
# [pfefferle] another “problem” is, that the urls does not match the urls of your dynamic wordpress instance, or it might even not be publicly accessible
# [pfefferle] so it also wouldn’t help [Erik] at all ;)
# [Erik] Somewhere in the next few days I'll dive in. Thanks a lot!

# [chrisaldrich] [pfefferle] Thanks for taking a look at the RSVP piece. Here's an example using a child theme of TwentyFifteen (modifications for the most part only extend to microformats): https://boffosocko.com/2020/07/11/a-domain-of-ones-own-meetup-july-23-2020/
# [chrisaldrich] I know that the facepiling of the RSVPs used to work for the TwentySixteen theme a year or more ago, but I've just switched back and noticed that they don't facepile with it anymore either, which leads me to think it could potentially be a change in the code sometime in the last year or so (I'm presuming in Semantic Linkbacks?)
# [chrisaldrich] I tried changing some of the options in the Webmention settings page and re-saving to see if there was an issue there. I also tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling, but neither of these fixed the problem.
