cambridgeport90 Has anyone seen a post published from wordpress published to Twitter trying to show the number of likes when the Jetpack module for that is enabled? I have that issue; see https://twitter.com/Cambridgeport90/status/1302755326127636480
#
@Cambridgeport90 I have changed to the custom domain used for shortlinks, let’s see if it registers, or whether I really did forget to do something. We’ll see. ### Like this: Like Loading... (twitter.com/_/status/1302755326127636480)

cambridgeport90 The tweet was made via Bridgy this time. Does not happen with the WP to Twitter plugin.

#
[chrisaldrich] cambridgeport90, that's a relatively frequent issue and it's the result of the microformats markup of your particular theme. Brid.gy decides what to publish based on what it parses and by default Jetpack is putting that code into the_body where bridgy finds it and presumes you want to publish it.
#
[chrisaldrich] This part of the frequently asked questions section of bridgy will give you a bit more guidance: https://brid.gy/about#microformats
#
[chrisaldrich] I also suspect its the sort of subtle thing we may cover in the upcoming theme pop up session: https://events.indieweb.org/2020/09/making-indieweb-friendly-wordpress-themes-8fs9gAVX3OkV
#
[chrisaldrich] From what I can tell it's definitely not something a custom domain for shortlinks will fix.

[tw2113] i feel accomplished today. I added my 2 typed out reviews from GoodReads to my apiratelifefor.me posts, but also added easy front-end review forms to the site that will post to custom comment types 😄
#
[tw2113] zero user-facing changes other than 2 reviews as comments

#
[tw2113] i need to actually type out thoughts on books more than i do
#
[tw2113] and of course mark them up with appropriate review microformats 😄
#
GWG I wrote a new mini-plugin to add a rewrite redirect for my profile picture
#
GWG Wondering if it is worth publishing
#
[tw2113] i vote yes, even if you don't get instant praise for it
#
GWG [tw2113]: I just don't know if it is enough to publish, as opposed to just putting on Github
#
GWG If I should refine it more
#
[tw2113] putting on github = publishing

#
[chrisaldrich] GWG++ for fixing something WordPress should have had from the start
#
Loqi GWG has 31 karma in this channel over the last year (139 in all channels)
#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: Not sure what else I'll do with it.
#
GWG I have other avatar ideas.
#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: If you have any ideas. It should work with anything.
#
[chrisaldrich] What do you mean by work with anything?
#
GWG Any avatar plugin as it does just redirect the URL

#
[tw2113] i should make a digital garden plugin for WordPress
#
Loqi I agree
#
[chrisaldrich] I'd +1 that too Loqi.
#
[chrisaldrich] [tw2113] I always thought that Michael Caulfield's Wikity was an interesting implementation for WordPress, but unfortunately he designed it as a theme instead of as a plugin.
#
[chrisaldrich] You can use both internal and external Webmentions to get backlinks the way Roam Research and some of the other platforms are doing them. Though you may want to have a slightly different display of them from a UI perspective.
#
[chrisaldrich] What is Wikity?
#
Loqi Wikity is a custom WordPress theme that adds wiki functionality to the WordPress platform https://indieweb.org/Wikity
#
[tw2113] i'll need to read and do some research on functionality needed/desired and how to make use of what comes with WP already that would help
#
GWG [tw2113]: What do you need to do?
#
[tw2113] dunno yet, i'm great at ideas, not always as great at completing the ideas
#
[tw2113] so many notes to myself
#
[chrisaldrich] sounds like you could use a wiki/digital garden to collect them all? 😉

GWG [chrisaldrich]: Do you run Jetpack?
#
GWG It occurred to me that it has a built in auth functionality and its conflicted with my work before

#
GWG Bingo
#
[chrisaldrich] I do but don't use it for much.
#
[chrisaldrich] Did you find a conflict.

#
GWG Maybe
#
GWG Why is it always Jetpack
#
GWG Definitely JetPack
#
GWG I turned every setting off, and it still disables my work
[tantek] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich] Did you have a workaround before?
#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: I have to go into the manual module control panel, now hidden by default, to figure out which module it is. Likely the rest/2fa stuff
