blindnerd Question... Is there a way to add all the HEntry data to a page in Wordpress without cluttering the page with a bunch of links, say for example using meta tags in the page header? Basically I'd like to add eveything needed for my guestbook page, but without making such data visible to a human visitor yet still readable to another machine. Is that possible?
# blindnerd sorry I meant classes. The last time I tried it, it appeared as links within the page, so that's why I referred to them as links. Of course, I hand coded the classes into the page, since a page doesn't get the automatic treatment a post would. If there was a way to add the classes but keep that invisible to the human reader, that would be preferred.
# blindnerd Still getting used to the terminology, my apologies
# blindnerd Having a hard time explaing this... When creating a post, the classes get added automatically but for a page, that isn't the case. The last time, I had to cwrap pre-existing links on the page with the needed classes inside of pre-existing HREF statements. I'm wondering if there's a plugin that would allow me to move the classes to someplace like the meta section of the page header instead of the way I've done it previously. T
# blindnerd hink of as hidden links I suppose. Sorry I can't explain this better, as I don't code for a living.
# blindnerd Sorry for the typos... half awake myself
# blindnerd would custom fields allow me to do that?

[TMichelleMoore] @blindnerd I have been experimenting with classes on blocks and when necessary jus adding them in a custom html block. None of your classes should be visible, could one part of your code be missing or have an extra “<” or “>” or some other item that is making the code invalid?

starrwulfe[m] Still trying to get to the bottom of why some of my posts are just a link and some are the whole content when seen in AP/mastodon. (Friendica and Hubzilla notably show the entire content.)

# starrwulfe[m] This is the AP plugin. BF is doing as expected (very well!)

GWG I've been thinking about redirecting the /author/username to show a user page over an archive, because ActivityPub makes that the profile page, and I am a single user site.
# GWG Similar to aaronpk's https://aaronparecki.com/aaronpk

# [tw2113_Slack_] make more use of those user profile fields in the admin
# GWG [tw2113_Slack_]: Yes, the idea is putting it at the /author/username URL because I'm not using that page anyway

# starrwulfe[m] Me too.
# starrwulfe[m] Really the Author page should be the "front page" of the site with a few current posts and archives/categories available... At least that's how I'd want it.
# starrwulfe[m] I made an "about" page the top of starrwulfe.xyz to mimic what's seen there, but de-duping it would also be nice.
# starrwulfe[m] Kinda embarrassing the way my site looks right now, but feel free to check it out and offer suggestions for me to work on in the next week BTW.
# starrwulfe[m] I'm thinking of how I can merge things seen at Aaron, Dave and Andres sites. I really just need to be able to sit down unencumbered for 5 hours and get it done but I'm a dad so its out the window half the time...
# starrwulfe[m] But [check this post](https://starrwulfe.xyz/day-14-of-working-on-my-indieweb-site/) to kinda see where I'm going

# dronerdud I need help with a wp_login action... I dressed the script down completely but cannot get it to trigger (I get nothing in the console). Please see: https://pastebin.pl/view/28056687
# dronerdud I suspect it's something really simple that I'm overlooking

# [TMichelleMoore] @gwg @starrwulfe[m] Is there any reason my h-card, which is in the footer, doesn’t appear when I test any other page or post on indiewebify.me? Could it be something about the footer loading after other things? I can add one in the page template, but just wanted to possibly figure out what is actually happening.
