[chrisbergr] Thank you for letting me know. @gwg I tried to test this and received the following error on the pingback. “Not enough data.” When I used Webmention.rocks last week, I was able to receive a webmention. And I can directly enter a comment. So it appears to relate to the pingback. I tried to use the Tools > Webmention - Webmention Testing Tools but wasn’t sure which URL’s went into the text boxes. So I

it both ways and received these 2 errors: 1 Critical Error, 2 Circular Reference. Do you have any hints for how I can troubleshoot this?

[TMichelleMoore] [chrisbergr] it checks for at least author name and content
#
[pfefferle]
so it does not seem to get your name and/or the webmention content from your site.
#
[pfefferle]
the test works fine, so no issue on the site of [chrisbergr]
#
[pfefferle]
do you use the latest version of the plugin? v5.0.0? and no semantic linkbacks?

Hello [pfefferle] I have 5.0.0. Could it be that I have an h-entry on the content and didn’t add an e-content? That’s one thing different about my reply. The post should have that. (That’s one thing in the background…) Oh and I removed the multi site last week but didn’t change anything in htaccess. (Just thought I would mention since these are two differences in my site since last week.)

Without e-content, there would be no comment on your reply...it can't detect it. Unless you have a fallback
#
GWG
The Tool can show you what it finds from a source+target though
#
GWG
I added it for manual debugging purposes
#
GWG
I have a similar one in Post Kinds so I can see what mf2 comes out

@gwg I will try with an e-content class.
#
GWG
[TMichelleMoore]: But you were the receiver
#
GWG
The markup issue I thought was the sender of the reply
#
GWG
Maybe I was confused.
#
[pfefferle]
[dshanske] is right, but I added a test with [chrisbergr] markup and it worked fine
#
[pfefferle]
Maybe another 5.0.0 glitch
#
GWG
[pfefferle]: I think it would be one 4.x had too..we didn't change it that much
#
[pfefferle]
But as I said, the test works fine! See my last pull request

@gwg I tested it myself with another post.

[pfefferle] @gwg [chrisbergr] I just tried it the e-content class on one reply, no e-content from another website and then again on another post and it worked (the two from the sandbox had the Webmention plugin deactivated and I guess that is why they are listed as pingbacks). But entering a URL in the ping me field didn’t work and came back with an “not enough data availalble. That seems odd. And then I copied the
#
[TMichelleMoore]
reply that successfully “webmentioned” and posted the same html in my sandbox and used it’s url in the ping me field. I received the error “Cannont find target link.” Is there anything special about that ping me field?
#
GWG
[TMichelleMoore]: What did you fill in?
#
[TMichelleMoore]
@gwg I used the Ping Me text box.
#
GWG
Yes, what URL did you put in the box?
#
[TMichelleMoore]
@gwg Oops my webmention one had the wrong link. Give me a second.

So, you are trying to test mentioning your site from your sandbox?
#
[TMichelleMoore]
Yes, I tried it from my website and then moved to the sandbox.
#
[TMichelleMoore]
When I entered this comment the webmention worked as normal through the commenting system. https://wpsandbox.tmichellemoore.com/testing-webmentions/
#
GWG
Maybe you need to reexplain from the top. I may have lost the thread

@gwg I think in it’s simplest form it is that when you reply to my posts using that ping me text box and enter a URL, you get an error (that’s what I did and I believe [chrisbergr] originally saw). Alternately, when I used the microforms h-entry and e-content with a u-in-reply-to, the webmention plugin did what it normally does and added a comment for me to approve.
#
GWG
So, is the problem [chrisbergr]'s microformats then?
#
[TMichelleMoore]
I suspect it could be the pingback feature. Because I got the same result. And then I added the microformats to my posts and got the same result.
#
GWG
Which is strange, as your post isn't the one it looks at. It should be looking at his. I'll have to check the code
#
[TMichelleMoore]
@gwg And then [pfefferle] made this comment which seems like [chrisbergr]’s is fine.
#
GWG
Exactly.
#
GWG
His post parses correctly, and it does so using your site as the target
#
GWG
So, the question is, what triggered the error?
#
GWG
I may have some time on the flight.
#
[TMichelleMoore]
What does that pingback text box do differently?
#
GWG
Nothing. The testing just shows what was found. The pingback box does the whole webmention process, which means source verification
#
[TMichelleMoore]
@gwg And don’t forget, the majority of the webmention.rocks tests passed last week on this site. (Actually probably all, I don’t think I tested deleting.)
#
GWG
[TMichelleMoore]: And to [pfefferle]'s question, you have V5 of Webmention and you got rid of Semantic Linkbacks?
#
GWG
So, I need to analyze the code that matches, and also the return
#
[TMichelleMoore]
I had waited to test the Webmention plugin because I was waiting for the update and the automatic deletion of Semantin Linkbacks. And found out that it didn’t autodelete on Multisite. I deactivated and delete it. And then removed multisite. (The one thing I didn’t do was make all of the htacess file updates, it looked to complicated. :-)) Don’t know if it is related, but I don’t want to leave that out as I have
#
[TMichelleMoore]
experience of someone leaving out the good parts while I tried to fix something and that was the one thing…)🙂
#
[chrisbergr]
@GWG I got a “forbidden” message on the receiving page after using the ping me form with my url on [TMichelleMoore] s original post.
#
GWG
Forbidden sounds like an auth issue
#
GWG
But the Webmention endpoint has no auth
#
[chrisbergr]
Yes, thought this is strange, so that’s why I started the discussion here.
#
GWG
I'll have to read closely while I travel and see... but that code didn't change in version 5
#
[chrisbergr]
Hope you’ll have a good flight :)
#
GWG
We'll see.

Yes @gwg Safe travels!
