Kolev Hi all. How is WP treating you? Heavily considering setting it up on Nginx.
#
GWG Treating us in what context? It has pros and cons
#
Xander Kolev: I recommend it, but depends what you actually want to do
#
Kolev GWG: I'm just considering it over Known or hand rolled solutions.
#
Kolev Xander: I want to do POSSE really easily.
#
GWG I use a mix of ClassicPress and WordPress on various sites

#
Kolev ClassicPress?

#
GWG ClassicPress is WordPress without the Block Editor...iterating on the Classic Editor experience
#
GWG So, lighter weight
#
Kolev Ah.
#
Kolev I'll go full fat WordPress.
#
GWG Block editor is not something I use, so...it interested me
#
Kolev Gotcha.
#
GWG But anything I do, I make sure if works with both
#
Kolev Is there a way to add 2025/ and 2025/03/ indexes to WordPress?
#
GWG They should happen automatically if you configure the default date archives
#
Kolev GWG: OK, nice. Thanks.
#
GWG No posts, no index though
#
Kolev GWG: Huh?
#
GWG The page only gets generated if you create posts dated in March of 2025
#
Kolev Well sure.
#
Kolev I don't expect to have a 1970/01/ index.
#
Kolev GWG: Can I see an example IndieWeb WordPress?
#
GWG https://david.shanske.com
#
GWG Let me pull some others
#
GWG https://snarfed.org
#
GWG https://indieweb.org/WordPress/Examples
#
GWG Not sure if we've gone through this in a while
#
GWG I know I'm seeing dated stuff there
#
GWG Maybe that's a project... quickly remove old info or mark it
#
Kolev Nice. Thank you! David's site looks really nice!
#
Kolev Looks like something I wanna emulate.
#
GWG That's me. GWG is my old irc handle from Freenode... never bothered to change it in here
#
Kolev GWG: Cool! Thanks.
#
Kolev GWG: What kind of hat are you wearing in your portrait ?
#
GWG Homburg...the hat of maturity
#
GWG Or so Eisenhower said
#
GWG Seriously.... I had some coworkers who would dress up in 3 piece suits every time people from the home office visited
#
GWG I told them they were making me look underdressed so next time I'd outdress them
#
Kolev Nice. I'd like to get a proper hat.
#
GWG Try Hats in the Belfry
#
GWG Good selection if you are in the US
#
Kolev GWG: Can your setup POSSE to Mastodon?
#
GWG Yes, but my site speaks the same protocol
#
GWG There's a plugin
#
GWG Alternatively other options
#
Kolev So you Fedi directly from WordPress.
#
GWG Yes, using pfefferle's Activitypub plugin
#
GWG Others use Bridgy or Bridgy Fed
#
GWG So many options
