GWG What do I need to do to POSSE from WordPress to Mastodon?
#
GWG
capjamesg[d]: Few options
#
GWG
Sorry, getting up now, long night
#
capjamesg[d]
No worries.
#
capjamesg[d]
Do you have any docs I could read?
#
GWG
I should spend some time with the wiki
#
GWG
But your choices are the Activitypub plugin, which makes your entire site talk Activitypub...Bridgy Fed, which does the same....if you want to posse traditionally to an existing account, and Syndication Links + Bridgy...or a dedicated posse plugin for Mastodon

@gwg I installed the Activitypub plugin, but I cannot see how can now cross-post to Mastodon aka publish it under my own Mastodon account
#
Askan
and I cannot connect with bridgy to my bonn.social Mastodon account
#
GWG
ActivityPub doesn't cross-post, Askan. It makes your site an ActivityPub instance.
#
GWG
So, it wouldn't work to connect to an existing account
#
GWG
With Bridgy and your bonn.social...what does it say?
#
Askan
It says: "Client authentication failed: Client unknown, no authentication provided, or authentication method is not supported."
#
Askan
with the Plugin "Share on Mastodon" I do not have authentication problems with my Mastodon
#
GWG
You may have to ask [snarfed] about the authentication failed with Bridgy. He supports that.
#
Askan
[snarfed] I tried to connect with Bridgy to my mastodon account at bonn.social, and I got this answer:"Client authentication failed: Client unknown, no authentication provided, or authentication method is not supported."
#
GWG
He may not be up. It's 5:40AM where he is. But he'll get back
#
Askan
OOOh, I am very sorry, thanks a lot for your support [GWG]
#
GWG
Askan: Not a problem, I've sent him a message and he's responded a few hours later
#
GWG
Askan: Anything I can think of, please ask

GWG
Migrated a site to ClassicPress. No problems with the Indieweb plugins. Time to start declaring them as compatible

ClassicPress is a community fork of WordPress that emerged due to resistance to the introduction of the Gutenberg visual editor https://indieweb.org/ClassicPress

[Askan] sorry for the trouble! not sure what's going on there, that error is on Mastodon's/bonn.social's side, but I've nudged something in Bridgy that might help, feel free to try again
