[John_Eckman] Made some progress on an Instagram->WordPress importer. Takes the json file from instagram export and imports all the posts as WordPress posts with images attached and inserted into them. https://github.com/jeckman/wp-insta-import

#
[TMichelleMoore] [John_Eckman] Shawn Hopper created a plugin to import Tweets. Providing the link just in case it might be helpful to you with ideas on your Instagram plugin. I used successfully. And then Shawn helped me identify the post types and fields so that I could move them to a custom post type that I created. I want to reduce my reliance of plugins, if possible, which I know is impossible. :-)
#
Loqi [preview] [shawnhooper] twitter-archive-to-wp: Import Twitter Data Archive using WP-CLI
#
[John_Eckman] Nice - he did all the framing to make it a full wp-cli command (package) which would also be useful
#
[TMichelleMoore] [John_Eckman] Oh yeah, I had to learn about the WP-CLI. lol After figuring out where to access that, getting a key, then not needing a key because my hosting provider actually had a terminal I could just open, and figuring out commands, learning the WordPress table structure, finding out everything isn’t a table. THEN I successfully moved Shawn’s designated post type to my custom post type. lol

[TMichelleMoore] [snarfed] I occasionally got to brid.gy and click the Get Token button. Today, I did that an got a token!! But then I went to WordPress and @gwg I didn’t see the place to enter the token in Syndication Links. It use to be there. Does this token go anywhere now?
#
GWG Token for which? It was there last I checked... although I did somehow hide Bridgy Fed
#
GWG Need to fix that
#
[TMichelleMoore] @gwg On the Brid.gy Mastodon settings.
#
[TMichelleMoore] @gwg But…all of the tokens are not showing in WordPress (Twitter, Mastodon, GitHub).
#
[TMichelleMoore] @gwg All of the token settings…

#
[snarfed] GWG I'm seeing the same thing, on v4.4.4. no token text boxes, even when I have all of the providers enabled
#
[snarfed] also oddly Bridgy Fed is back now, not sure why
