[dshanske] Had to switch services temporarily
#
[dshanske] You should be able to change the permissions to not need ftp

#
Kolev [dshanske]: changed permalink to /1970/01/01/hello-world/
#
GWG Okay, I think I fixed that
#
GWG Someone was flooding my IRC bouncer server
#
GWG To allow uploads, change your file permissiosn to...
#
GWG Here are the recommended file permissions that you can set for your WordPress site:
#
GWG Root directory (usually public_html): 755
#
GWG wp-admin: 755
#
GWG wp-includes: 755
#
GWG wp-content: 755
#
GWG wp-content/themes: 755
#
GWG wp-content/plugins: 755
#
GWG wp-content/uploads: 755
#
GWG .htaccess: 644
#
GWG index.php: 644
#
GWG wp-config.php: 640
#
GWG Got that from the WordPress install instructions
#
Kolev GWG, here's what my dir looks like. https://paste.debian.net/1363185/

#
Kolev GWG, here's waht I did. https://paste.debian.net/1363187/
#
GWG Can you now upload using the wordpress admin?
#
Kolev https://share.csh.snikket.chat/upload/hN_nqQGLGSfpHV709s1ofCA9/2025-03-14-template-unavailable.png
#
Kolev GWG, it still asks for FTP. Let me grab my Nginx config.
#
Kolev GWG, nginx.conf: http://dpaste.com//GVK9FCW87
#
GWG Who owns the WordPRess directory?
#
Kolev <https://calebh.top/2025/03/14/hello-world/> still unavaialble.
#
Kolev GWG, I sent the listing of the dir. https://paste.debian.net/1363185/
#
GWG Where are the site specific files? Can you show me the site file in sites-enabled for this site?
#
GWG Yes, for the whole directory, do chown -R www-data:www-data
#
Kolev http://dpaste.com//G25EL4TRM /etc/nginx/sites-available/calebh.top
#
Kolev caleb@farnsworth:/var/www/calebh.top$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
#
GWG Your location / , it should be try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
#
Kolev GWG, changed. Restart Nginx?
#
GWG Reload is fine, but yes
#
Kolev <https://calebh.top/2025/03/14/hello-world/> now works.
#
GWG And the upload?
#
GWG Try adding a plugin or a theme? You don't have to activate it
#
Kolev Activated theme SemPress.
#
Kolev (I assume SemPress is needed for max. IndieWeb compat.)
#
GWG Kolev: Not necessarily. I have a theme I created for my site, and there are a few more
#
Kolev Taking a break. RelMeAuth not complete.
#
GWG Why do you need relmeauth?
#
GWG The indieauth plugin handles most auth
GWG joined the channel
#
Kolev Which feature should I set up, now that I have WordPress, IndieWeb, and IndieAuth installed? I filled put my profile for IndieWeb but Mastodon doesn't recognize me.
#
Kolev Oh, and SemPress theme. I have that installed too.

#
GWG I'd add webmention as well and look at Bridgy
#
GWG You want to bridge your site to an existing account, right? Not make your site communicate with Mastodon?
#
GWG I'm doing my periodic Simple Location what did they break.
#
Kolev GWG: You are correct. Thank you.
