[Will_Monroe] @GWG I updated without any problem, added my Pinboard token and published a `bookmark` post with the radio box checked for Syndication Links > Pinboard. After waiting a few minutes, the post has not appeared in Pinboard yet. This leads me to believe that I may not have provided valid information in the WP post interface. Are there fields that must be populated?
#
GWG Only URL. So no
#
GWG Have you used Syndication Links before?
#
[Will_Monroe] I have posted to Micro.blog and Twitter via Bridgy using Syndication Links.
#
GWG That is interesting.
#
GWG Let's see what happens on my live site, as opposed to my test site
#
[Will_Monroe] Am I supposed to use the "Syndication Links" text box in WP in addition to the "Syndicate To" checkbox? Sorry this is so elementary.
#
GWG No, that should happen automatically.
#
GWG This is strange. Something triggered on my test site but not on the live one.
#
[Will_Monroe] Here's what the WP post interface looks like: https://www.screencast.com/t/vx3Z5XSC
#
[Will_Monroe] But note that the Syndication Links checkbox for Pinboard is deselected when I open the post a second time to edit. That box is always selected when I Publish.
#
GWG [Will_Monroe]: That is what always happens
#
GWG It never stays selected. Intentionally
#
[Will_Monroe] Got it. Just wanted to be clear that I had checked it when I made the post.
#
GWG On my site, something isn't triggering. Will have to look into that, but it is a problem with my site it seems.
#
[Will_Monroe] Okay, I'll follow the updates and test again if you make changes.
#
GWG https://wpdev.gwg.us/2020/10/13/20900/ - See this worked perfectly. Odd
#
Loqi Testing posting a bookmark again.

#
GWG [Will_Monroe]: Try updating Post Kinds. I just pushed a fix.
#
GWG I need to look at surfacing errors in Syndication Links, but the problem was a bug fix I did for Post Kinds.
#
GWG Yes, that fixed it. I did find a different problem I need to work on, a missing $, but.
#
Ruxton i've been working on that missing $ problem for 25+ years ;)
#
GWG Without a $, it is seen as a constant.
#
Ruxton makes lame joke about getting paid
#
[Will_Monroe] @GWG updating Post Kinds did the trick!
#
[Will_Monroe] The text I added to the WP body didn't end up in Pinboard's description but the link and title (from Parse This) came through. It also defaults to private.
#
GWG [Will_Monroe]: That might be a setting in your account. I don't set visibility. As for the text in the body, it's using the text in the summary field of the bookmark.
#
GWG Found another bug. If the author property is a URL, then my parsing code was not properly handling the return.
#
[Will_Monroe] @GWG I have text in the Summary/Quote/Caption field of the Response Properties interface but that didn't make it to Pinboard. Not sure if that's related to the bug.
#
GWG That is the field I'm looking at. Will look as well. Fixing a Twitter parsing bug I found.
