#
cambridgeport90[ Well... My site is for now back on Wordpress. It's the easiest for me to work with at the
#
cambridgeport90[ moment considering I need a place to blog while I develop features elsewhere, but I need everything to already be implemented for what I'm doing, and Wordpress does that for the time being.
#
GWG cambridgeport90[: Welcome back.
#
GWG Your dreams are your ticket out
#
Ruxton dreams a world full of indieweb wordpress themes :P
#
GWG Ruxton: I just did a ton of work on my theme
#
GWG Still working on it
#
Ruxton I'm always trying to talk to theme devs about it in hope i'll hook one of them and they'll retrofit their stack of themes :P
#
cambridgeport90[ I am going to get my instance off of Plesk, though... I wouldn't be surprised if that's what caused things to break all the time beforehand, though.
#
cambridgeport90[ Also... I noticed a removal of some of the post kinds from the official plugin since they are covered by others; notes, for instance, and check-ins. I am using SimpleNotes for notes as a separate post type.
#
GWG cambridgeport90[: Removal? I'm not sure what you mean. I didn't remove any of them.
#
GWG I could stand to iterate on Post Kinds. [tonz] wrote an article I agree with on that point.
#
cambridgeport90[ I think it's probably the theme I'm using, then, because I think only certain themes support certain ones? Need to return to Autonomie, me thinks... like it, just need to do a better job of customizing it this time than I did the last time.
#
GWG Tell me if I can help, doing a bunch of style tweaks right now as part of an attempt to rebrand a bit
#
cambridgeport90[ What are you working on, currently? My issue is figuring out how to set the background and make all colors look good, while also complying with WCAG. For instance, I would love to have some red somewhere, but that's not a compliant color, so I think I will probably do something with blue and white. I don't know the CSS language though for crap. LOL
#
GWG cambridgeport90[: I just finished switching my theme to adaptive dark mode. So it can change color based on browser preference
#
GWG I wonder if I can add a high contrast version.
#
GWG I'm horrible at CSS
#
cambridgeport90[ Which one are you using?
#
GWG cambridgeport90[: https://github.com/dshanske/iw26
#
GWG It's a heavily customized fork of the WordPress Twenty Sixteen theme
#
Loqi [dshanske] iw26: IW26 is an Indieweb Fork of WordPress Twenty Sixteen Theme
#
cambridgeport90[ I think I'm probably going to make a child theme based on Autonomie. If you look at my GitHub profile, you will see I forked it. That's why.
#
GWG pfefferle does good work
#
GWG I wonder if I can add this. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-contrast
#
cambridgeport90[ And... IW26. I forgot about that one... I might go back to it then in that case. Just need to make sure that all of the plugins I use work with it... I even installed custom types UI... hopefully I can use that for something somewhere. I also did the ActivityPub plugin, as well.
#
GWG cambridgeport90[: I'm working on IW26 right now. Did a lot of tweaks.
#
cambridgeport90[ I might have to go look at it again... maybe uploading it won't exceed my file size... LOL did that earlier... while I was at work working on my site.
#
GWG cambridgeport90[: Tell me if you like it.
#
cambridgeport90[ I definitely will... If I remember right, it's the only one that seems to allow OwnYourSwarm to work right and display all webmentions. Also seems to have lots of available colors to choose, as well. I could probably do the blue and white thing fairly easily. And this is without being able to see what I'm doing, mind you.
#
GWG cambridgeport90[: I took out the available colors in favor of light and dark mode, but I may put some choices back in.
#
cambridgeport90[ That will definitely give it a different look. Will have to fool around with it.
#
cambridgeport90[ Another thing I seem to be having issues with is getting ThreadReader App to work with IndieAuth over Wordpress. I used to use the /author syntax, don't I?If so, then I keep forgetting about that.
#
GWG cambridgeport90[: You have a choice.
#
GWG You can set it to use root or /author
#
cambridgeport90[ My problem is figuring out how to troubleshoot errors from IndieAuth. Is there a log of errors somewhere that I seem to be missing?
#
GWG In the server logs. There is also a test for it in the Site Health screen
#
cambridgeport90[ Ah. I keep forgetting about the server logs. Will be easier I think once I move to my own server. I'm not right now.

GWG What is lurking?
#
Loqi Lurking is the quiet watching and listening that many people of the web do in chat rooms in order to begin gauging the culture, learning the jargon or lingo, and other community norms or unspoken principles before diving in to interact on a more direct level with other participants https://indieweb.org/Lurking
