[Michelle_Moore] Hello, I am experimenting again with WordPress - WebMentions and Syndication. This time I have created a post (https://www.tmichellemoore.com/blog/onestream-xf-project-2018-12-2022-12/) and added all of the tags in it to get the h-entry validation to work. I have the following plug-ins installed: IndieWeb, WebMentions, Semantic-Linkbacks, Syndication Links, and IndieAuth. Someone on Mastodon liked the post and that came
#
[Michelle_Moore] back to the original post.
#
GWG Having a look
#
[Michelle_Moore] Hit enter to soon… My question - I have an hidden div on the post for most of the attributes validator is looking for including the syndicated links. Do I need to keep the Syndication Links plugin installed? Is it doing anything more than showing where the content is syndicated?
#
GWG [Michelle_Moore]: It allows for triggering Bridgy Publish, but if you don't want the syndication links to be displayed, or to display them yourselfs, you can remove it
#
[Michelle_Moore] Thank you GWG!
#
GWG Both of those things can be done manually.
#
GWG Also, looked at your markup. You have two h-cards for yourself on the page.
#
[Michelle_Moore] @GWG, I haven’t gotten Brid.gy to work yet. I wanted to figure out these classes first. That is my next step. Since I am totally unsure of what is doing what, I think I will leave it there for the time being. But I do feel that I have a reasonable solution to making a WordPress post that has almost all microformat classes on it. For some reason I can’t get the image to show up, but that is ok. Thank you for your ans
#
[Michelle_Moore] GWG, what is your @name?
#
GWG Well, IRC I have a different username than Slack
#
GWG But, when you type GWG, it triggers alerts on my dside
#
GWG I'm working on a rewrite of Syndication Links on and off.
#
GWG Trying to clean up some things
#
GWG I keep hoping someone will do the Block Editor work on it, but I've never got much into that sort of thing myself
#
GWG I'm an old school PHP person
#
[snarfed]2 GWG does the rewrite merge it with the Webmention plugin?
#
GWG [snarfed]2: What does it have to do with Webmentions?
#
[snarfed]2 oh sorry, I misread, thought you said Semantic Linkbacks, nm
#
GWG [snarfed]2: You know I want that. Still stalled

#
[snarfed]2 remind me on what?

#
GWG [snarfed]2: Mostly pfefferle and I just finding time to sit down and figure out the last step.
#
GWG In my opinion, there are two blockers
#
GWG 1 has a PR, the other does not.
#
GWG 1 is presentation of the new code.
#
GWG The other is migration of old data to the new format
#
[snarfed]2 sounds like you all need to schedule a call
#
GWG Also, that's minimal, there are some things that we wanted to add back in later.
#
GWG [snarfed]2: I know.
#
[snarfed]2 do it! 😁
#
GWG I have 8 days I'm taking off this month.

#
[Michelle_Moore] @gwg Thank you! I feel good about the blocks that I added and will see if I can make Brid.gy work soon.
#
GWG [Michelle_Moore]: Tell me if I can assist in any way. Or if there is anything for consideration to be merged upstream
#
[Michelle_Moore] @gwg Can you tell me this…with the IndieWeb plugin setup, do I need to signup for or setup anything on the Brid.gy site? The instructions seem to say no if you have the plugin installed.
#
GWG [Michelle_Moore]: You always have to sign up for Bridgy. I had proposed bringing back the register link in the plugin to directly send you to where to register.
#
GWG But that would just be a button that redirected you to the registration flow
#
GWG Bridgy won't send you things without your consent

#
[Michelle_Moore] @gwg I am working on the Brid.gy setup. I have to admit, I am confused. If you had the WordPress IndieWeb plugin installed on your site. What are the second and third steps you would take to signup for and use Brid.gy. Is there a particular order?
#
[Michelle_Moore] @gwg Do I need to have JetPack installed for this to work?
RasAlGhoul, gRegor, gRegorLove_ and doug_c_im joined the channel
#
[snarfed]2 [Michelle_Moore] no, jetpack is unrelated
#
GWG The Indieweb plugin was meant to be the jetpack of the indieweb
#
[snarfed]2 You've signed up on https://brid.gy/ ?
#
[Michelle_Moore] @gwg Thank you! I think I was getting stuck where it says if you installed the plugin don’t use this (I forgot the step). I will try it again.
#
GWG Install Webmentions and Semantic Linkbacks, sign up for Bridgy and go
#
[Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] and @gwg maybe I am just a little slow. Or maybe I just don’t know what I am seeing. Am I only adding my WordPress URL? Or should I add Twitter and Mastodon also, for example?
#
[Michelle_Moore] Sorry about the message at 2:42, that was actually sent earlier.
#
[snarfed]2 ah. add the social network(s) you want to connect. so you don't need Wordpress, but you do need Twitter or Mastodon or whatever you want to cross-post/backfeed
doug_c_im and jamietanna joined the channel
#
[Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] Ok, so confirming, just add Twitter or Mastodon to Brid.gy and do not add the WordPress link right?
#
[snarfed]2 Right!
#
GWG [snarfed]2: How do you unhook a connection from one domain and move to another?
doug_c_im, gRegorLove_ and gRegorLove__ joined the channel
#
[snarfed]2 Make sure the new site is in your silo profile and then log into Bridgy again with that silo
#
[Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] It worked for Twitter! I had already published it to Mastodon. My web site URL is in the “profile” so I am not sure if that is correct based on one of your answers above. But it works so I will leave it alone. Thank you!
#
[snarfed]2 Welcome!
