[TMichelleMoore] @gwg Is there anything in particular you are looking for regarding thoughts on improving the WordPress rendering…?
# [TMichelleMoore] [pfefferle] I am trying to create a block pattern that will be a block that has classes on it. In essence trying to use microformats with the least amount of HTML. My first one is an RSVP. Can you translate what they are saying the issue you pointed out here? I would be using classes to do this. But one thing I have seen is that the links, if in a block of text are a little difficult.
# [TMichelleMoore] @gwg One more question, where would they go wrong? In the output posted on the silo or in the syndicated links on the post? Or just check overall?

[snarfed] hopefully interactive preview and https://brid.gy/about#micropub are enough info. specifically, from that link: "One difference from normal Bridgy Publish is that Micropub always posts the text from the content property, even if a name property is also included."
# [TMichelleMoore] [snarfed] My Micropub doesn’t work, I get the 400 error. @gwg Is the micropub actually still an option?
# [TMichelleMoore] @gwg That is an existing issue. Sorry for not specifying. When I go to brid.gy > Mastodon > READY TO PUBLISH > GET TOKEN, click ACCEPT = I get the following error ” HTTP Error 401:
{“error”:“The access token is invalid”}”# [TMichelleMoore] yes
# [TMichelleMoore] So I have been manually fixing them on Mastodon…
# 
starrwulfe[m] Hey [snarfed] I'm getting 404 errors on my webfinger redirects.
# starrwulfe[m] redirected to:
# starrwulfe[m] returned HTTP 404
# starrwulfe[m] not sure why that keeps happening... 🤔
# [TMichelleMoore] So my feedback @gwg - It would be nice if WordPress tags translated into hashtags with the # in front. Not sure if I am using the microformat classes correctly on my posts so that the content shows ([snarfed]). And I would love if the full link showed instead of the one with the number.
# starrwulfe[m] [snarfed]: my redirect:... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/da13350f72e27e17b5b27bfe9823195852bf596c>)
# starrwulfe[m] --> 302 -->
# starrwulfe[m] Its a real head scratcher over here...
# starrwulfe[m] yet another plug-in as I'm on managed Wordpress. But let me see if i can switch something here.
# starrwulfe[m] OK, now I get a 400 error...which is less than 404, so....getting warmer? LOL
# starrwulfe[m] Bingo. I had to point my redirection directly at the full resource -- wildcards only confused my redirect I guess.
# [TMichelleMoore] @starrwulfe[m] What are you using for redirection?
# starrwulfe[m] Ironically, a plugin called "Redirection" LOL

# [tw2113_Slack_] good plugin
# [TMichelleMoore] Oops just saw your answer…
# starrwulfe[m] Yeah, I kinda needed this for when my shortlink plugin was spazzing out so I could redirect the bad links to the proper permalinks while I looked for a fix. (I fixed it earlier today)
# [snarfed] [TMichelleMoore] the difference is that the top post there has a title, the bottom one doesn't. BF handles those differently: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#which-parts
# starrwulfe[m] Anything with a title gets treated as an "article" post type and just gets the title and link posted. The AP plugin does the same thing with the post types locally too.
# starrwulfe[m] Also true. If you see your same posts on Pleroma, Friendica and Hubzilla, the whole thing shows almost as a 1:1 copy of your post.
# starrwulfe[m] (this is why I keep telling my friends who don't want the hassle of IndiewebLife to just go to a nice Friendica instance. Plays nice with mastodon's API for many things but also does Ostatus and Diaspora and shows anything from reactji to whole novel posts!
# [TMichelleMoore] [snarfed] So I can’t override that with a p-summary or something right? That’s just a fallback right? All of my posts have titles. My mind won’t let me add a post with no title. Lol
# [TMichelleMoore] [snarfed] Remember that token you generated for me. Can you delete that? I think you did already, but just in case….
# starrwulfe[m] That's a Mastodon thing [TMichelleMoore] .
# starrwulfe[m] The way I found around it was to use the "note" or "aside" post format. it might work here with BF like it does with the AP plugin
# [TMichelleMoore] @starreulfe[m] OK. I am using 6.1.1 with the default them. I don’t have that from what I am seeing. But will investigate. Thank you!
# starrwulfe[m] I'm using a modified version of Autonomie that included it. All the pre 6.0 themes still have it in there before the big switch to blocks. (this one can do both blocks and classic so I'm hand coding the other stuff into it as I go.)

[pfefferle] ↩️ There is currently no way to add any semantics to links, like for example u-in-reply-to or u-like-of and the issue is about extending the link overlay to have these possibilities.

# [Serena] just wondering what everyone's web host of choice is? I'm using Bluehost and this is the third time I have had to ask them to whitelist Micropub Endpoint (I seem to have to do this every couple of years).
# [Serena] I think it's time for me to look for a new host (that's not too expensive). Any suggestions?
# [Serena] Each time takes a couple of weeks of back and forth before finally they do something in the backend (hell if I know what) and things work again.

# starrwulfe[m] GWG: not sure if it was stated, but syndication plugin isn’t pushing tags as hashtags for Bridgy -> Twitter
# starrwulfe[m] [Serena]: I’m using EasyWP by Namecheap and its just bare minimum Wordpress management on their end. I still have access to database and some minimal terminal access for WP CLI even. $5/month, same as a small DO droplet
# starrwulfe[m] They handle backups and CDN too so that’s why went this route.
# [TMichelleMoore] @serena Namecheap. I do t have EasyWP. I don’t know what a DO droplet is but do have WP CLI and a terminal. I believe I have the endpoint access as Quill does work.
