[Michelle_Moore] @gwg and [chrisaldrich] Although I NEVER EVER plan on moving my blog again, I currently have about 400 posts which was very painful to migrate and combine back into one blog. A baby site compared to you all’s and lots of you here. But just imagining all of the shorter form content posts combined with the longer form all together worries me. I could see that content being voluminous. I think I read someone here had
# [Michelle_Moore] 40,000 objects, maybe it was a Tweet archive. I could totally keep them in a specific category, but want to exhaust all possibilities. (Today I saw that the Syndication-Links field is working with the custom post type. And will test brid.gy tomorrow morning to see if it works with the custom post types.)

# [Michelle_Moore] @gwg and [chrisaldrich] Regarding the detection of short content up above, would there be a way to specify which type of post is used vs letting characters determine this? If I had a choice, I would want to specify that myself.
# [Michelle_Moore] @gwg Which HWC do you attend? And is this David Shankse? :-)
# [Michelle_Moore] @gwg I will try to make one of them, most likely the Europe one. I look forward to it.
# [Michelle_Moore] @gwg I am usually falling asleep on the sofa during the Pacific time. But on vacation also.

# [snarfed]2 indieweb generally calls long form posts "articles" and short form posts "notes," and distinguishes them by the presence of a p-name (ie title). articles have p-names, notes don't
# [snarfed]2 [Michelle_Moore] the easy way to do that in WP is just to omit the title on short form posts. no plugins or custom post types or kinds needed

# [Michelle_Moore] [snarfed] That would be why I would want them to be separate post types. Let’s say I become as prolific at updates as you all, I would want the title-less posts in their own custom post type. So maybe my question is, can all of the micropub indieauth posts from Quill be directed to one specific custom post type and not the regular post post type?
# [Michelle_Moore] @gwg and [snarfed] (Separate but related topic)…I did try the shortnotes and indieblocks plugins. I just decided that I wanted to create my own custom post type and eliminate my reliance on one more plugin. Although I do have to rely on pods.io to create the block, I know that it could also be done using PHP and the pods.io plugin can have additional use one day.

# [Serena] I've filled in my user name in my profile on wordpress, so I'm not sure what else I'm missing

# [Michelle_Moore] Hi [Serena], Did you setup everything at https://brid.gy?
ben_thatmustbeme joined the channel
# [Serena] [Michelle_Moore] Yes, I've gone to brid.gy signed in using both Twitter and Mastodon to give authorisation
# [Serena] when I post on my wordpress, I want a copy to be posted on both Mastadon and Twitter, and the "syndication link" field in wordpress auto-populate with the direct link to the Twitter/Mastodon posts.
# [Serena] I'm not sure I understand the question, isn't it just "post on wordpress" and it'll post a copy to Twitter and Mastodon?
# [Serena] oh, yeah. I've checked both Twitter and Mastodon. I tried both the micropub and the webmention option
# [Serena] oh, I don't think so -- how do I do that?
# [Michelle_Moore] [Serena] Mastodon has an issue with publishing but not the “backfeed.” I was able to setup the “Backfeeding Responses” (left side of the screen) but there is anMastodon issue waiting for a fix on the (right side of the screen) Mastodon publishing. So when you click it, it won’t publish to Mastodon. + [snarfed]
# [Serena] cool cool, I generated and copied the token, and I'm trying to find the correct settings page to paste this
# [Michelle_Moore] [Serena] - @gwg and @snarfed are your experts for this but I have just been setting up Mastodon and have experienced this issue over the last few days.
# [Serena] [Michelle_Moore] ah dang, so what was your work around? Or have you not been able to set up publishing for Mastodon?
# [Serena] and I can't find where to paste the Twitter token in wordpress
# [Serena] ah, thank you!

# [Serena] [Michelle_Moore] I'm on writing.exchange
# [Serena] When I used the syndication link plugin, the post was published on Mastodon correctly, however the syndication link field in wordpress did not auto-populate with the syndicated post's url
# [Michelle_Moore] So maybe the error is server specific! That’s good to know! Back over to @gwg. I just thought you had to manually add the link in the field. lol
# [Serena] and [Michelle_Moore] I've looked at the Mastodon Autopost plugin, it doesn't seem to be integrated with the Syndicated Links plugin ie. it doesn't auto-populate the syndication link field.

GWG [pfefferle]: Can you look at https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieauth/pull/239 - It is minor, but I want to push something that shows WordPress 6.1 compat and fix those three minor bugs. I'll do something more major another time.

# GWG One of these days, https://wordpress.org/plugins/tempus-fugit/ will get more appreciation than it does now. Less than 10 installs. Oh, well.
