I hate to be dense, but is there something I need to do after installing the Webmention plugin so that I can actually send and receive them
#
GWG
scojjac: You shouldn't. How do you know they aren't sending?

And when I tried to connect Bridgy it says I need webmention support
#
GWG
Interesting. I have a few possibilities. What is the URL of the site?
#
GWG
There's no webmention header on your page
#
GWG
The plugin should automatically add it when enabled
#
scojjac
gwg: thanks for taking a look. hm, wonder what's going on ...
#
GWG
The webmention plugin is activated?
#
GWG
Caching plugin maybe?
#
scojjac
It is active, and no caching plugin.
#
GWG
That is strange... something interfering maybe
#
GWG
It is probably one of those things we'll kick ourselves about after we figure o
#
GWG
it out

Prob not best practice, but I ended up manually adding those lines to the home page, since they seem to show on single posts
#
GWG
scojjac: Oh..I know the problem then..
#
GWG
You didn't configure a page to direct your homepage webmentions to
#
GWG
It's a setting
#
GWG
I thought it wasn't on any page
#
scojjac
I initially had them directed to my Archives page but was still having the issue. Or the chain of events in my head is all mixed up
#
scojjac
And unfortunately, when I open up developer tools in the browser to suss out issues, there just seems to be so much cruft in the page structure that I get lost
#

For example, after enabling syndication links and trying to figure out why a post syndicates to Microblog but not Twitter. I *think* Bridgy is finding <body> classed as h-entry and getting messed up
#
scojjac
(as an aside, I might need a real IRC client ha)
#
GWG
scojjac: We also bridge to Slack if you want, and Matrix
#
GWG
Both use different tech
#
GWG
scojjac: We have an HWC meeting on Zoom tomorrow night if you want to come and chat about it also
#
scojjac
thanks very much
