Deprecating and Replacing Bridgy Publish for WordPress

        "text": "I\u2019ve decided to take a different direction for the Bridgy plugin for WordPress. I\u2019ve never quite been able to explain to people it doesn\u2019t actually do anything. It\u2019s a user interface for the Bridgy service. I\u2019ve decided that the best thing to do is to is to change the approach radically.\nBridgy is a service that integrates with various sites\u2026Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Github, and sends back comments, likes, etc to the original copies of the same posts on your site. There are a few similar services I\u2019ve integrated with. It also has a feature called Publish where it allows you to syndicate your posts to those services.\nThis is something of an arms race, as APIs change all the time. Sometimes, there is no official established API. Ryan Barrett, the creator of Bridgy, announced in a blog post this week that due to Facebook API changes scheduled to take effect on August 1st, the Publish features of Bridgy for Facebook would be discontinued at the same time.\nI\u2019m writing this partly to lay out my plan in my mind as I\u2019m working on writing this now. I\u2019ve gone through a few different versions of this idea before settling on this.\nThe Bridgy plugin consists of two parts: The first part is a UI that is added to the post editor that consists of a series of checkboxes, and the corresponding code that triggers the same action from a post made over Micropub. The second part was added last summer, and is basically a registration page for registering for Bridgy.\nI\u2019ve opened an issue for discussion on whether I should move the second part into the main Indieweb plugin. Newcomers to the Indieweb could install the plugin, register for Bridgy inside it, and instantly start getting backfeed from other sites.\nThat brings us to the first part. The checkboxes. They will need to be rewritten, if I want them to continue, for the new post editor, Gutenberg, at some point. But, I don\u2019t just want to syndicate via Bridgy. I want to syndicate to anywhere I can or choose to integrate in, both using the WordPress post editor and Micropub.\nSo, I\u2019ve decided to integrate the top level of this, the logic that gets a request for syndication from the post editor or Micropub, inside Syndication Links.\nSyndication Links displays icons which link to syndicated copies of posts. You\u2019ll see them on this post. I keep adding in integrations to other plugins as people ask. I have Mastodon Auto Post, Keyring Social Importer, Medium, Social Network Auto Poster, and a few more. And I\u2019ll likely continue to look at plugins that syndicate to other sites, figure out where they store their data, and display it as part of this plugin.\nBut now, this second part will expand the plugin into this territory of being a middleman for actually syndicating content. This is similar to what I did in Simple Location, where I have a series of providers for weather, location, maps, etc. and anyone could write a plugin(though only I have so far) that adds another provider.\nTo start, the first provider I\u2019ll be including will be a rewritten version of Bridgy Publish, as well as my plan to add Indienews, as both are triggered by sending a webmention to a site.\nAt the point that I finish the alternative with feature parity to the existing code, I will discontinue development on the separate Bridgy plugin. It will mean one less plugin to maintain. Anyone who does not want to use the new features in Syndication Links\u2026they will be off by default to start with.\nIt also means that, if I wanted to, I could add native publishing support for services in future. While there are certainly no end of Twitter/Facebook/etc plugins for WordPress, none of them quite understand syndicating a favorite to Twitter doesn\u2019t mean a new tweet, it means something else. I can continue to write integrations for other plugins, or add new providers myself.\nNot saying I\u2019m going to do that. I\u2019m only committing to what I\u2019ve said above.\nFinally, to all of you who liked the Bridgy Publish plugin\u2026I\u2019m curious to hear your comments on this. Bear in mind, I built the Bridgy Publish plugin to use it, and I still never migrated myself over to it. I would like to finally leave what I am using, and this would mean I could change providers without changing interfaces if I ever add something in future.",

        "text": "This is an update to my 2014 article on how I set up my WordPress site. It was requested I update it.\n\nStandard Plugins\n\n\nCharacter Count for Post Content and Excerpt(Link) \u2013 Because I need to be aware of the 140 character limit of Twitter, one of the services I send my content to, I need to know the character count of what I\u2019m typing. This adds that to my editing screen. No longer using this plugin and could not find a replacement.\nEWWW Image Optimizer(Link) \u2013 It reduces file sizes for images to ensure faster loading\nPushover Notifications(Link)or the forked alternative Pushbullet Notifications(Link) for WordPress \u2013 This plugin sends notifications of site events to my phone. The Pushover version is actively maintained and allows for extensions.\nSimple Local Avatars(Link) \u2013 Overrides the default of using the Gravatar service for profile pictures to storing them locally. However, this plugin hasn\u2019t been updated in years. May look for a new one.\n\nWordPress SEO by Yoast(Link) \u2013 While I\u2019m not obsessive about Search Engine Optimization, I find this plugin assists in my writing by reminding me about the importance of certain elements. While this is still a popular plugin and good for many people, it\u2019s become a bit too aggressive for me.\nThe SEO Framework (Link) \u2013 Sometimes, I think about getting rid of all SEO plugins. I\u2019m not really obsessed with this. This does add non-Indieweb markup for some sites that require it. It isn\u2019t worth it for me to manually add this right now.\nHum(Link) \u2013 This is a simple URL shortener. So for each post, there is an equivalent URL address at di5.us. This allows me to give out easier to enter links to longer post titles.\nJSON Feed(Link) \u2013 Adds a JSON Feed to a WordPress site. This is an alternative to RSS as a feed. I\u2019ve used it to feed my content to Micro.blog more effectively, as the specification was co-created by Manton Reece, who is the creator of that service. The plugin could stand some enhancement.\nSeries(Link) \u2013 Creates a simple taxonomy called \u2018Series\u2019. I added this to my site to allow creating series of articles.\nWP Photo Sphere(Link) \u2013 For the rare occasions that I post 360 degree images. Rare as in I\u2019ve only posted one.\nSocial Network Auto Poster(Link) \u2013 I keep wanting to get rid of this thing. But I haven\u2019t spent the time to replace it. Thinking of doing that soon.\nSimple Location(Link) \u2013 You can call this an Indieweb plugin, but it isn\u2019t specifically an Indieweb technology(although it does use Microformats markup). It adds location and weather awareness to a post. So, you can click to add your location and the current weather conditions at that location to a post.\nHome Assistant for WordPress(Link) \u2013 I use Home Assistant for my Home Automation integration. Since it has an API, I wrote this simple plugin. While at the moment, I hope to add the ability to display information from any sensor and to update a sensor on the Home Assistant side from WordPress, I use it right now as an enhancement to Simple Location. Instead of getting my location from the browser, it gets it from my Home Assistant installation, which tracks my presence.\nThe Indieweb Stuff\nWordPress Webmention(Link) \u2013 Adds webmention support for WordPress. This allows communications between sites.\nSemantic Linkbacks(Link) \u2013 Adds richer content to WordPress comments received by Webmention. For example, interprets them as reply, repost, like, favorite, mention, etc. This allows different displays and actions to be done with them.\n\nSemantic Comments(Link) \u2013 One of my own plugins. It changes the display of WordPress comments based on the information from Semantic Linkbacks. It presents the profile pictures in a Facepile for the various types of mentions with the comments separately below. This functionality has now been rolled into Semantic Linkbacks and is even better than it was.\n\nIndieweb Taxonomy(Link) \u2013 Semantic Linkbacks is all about receiving webmentions for the various semantic types. But this plugin, another one of mine(although I credit several with contributions), adds new terms to WordPress posts for responding to content on another site. So, a post on this site can be a reply to another site, a like, etc. It will automatically send a webmention to the other site, if that site supports it, of course. Replaced by Post Kinds\nPost Kinds (Link) \u2013 This replaced Indieweb Taxonomy. It is a replacement for the WordPress Post Formats which uses Indieweb post types. It allows you to respond to content on other sites, generates previews of those sites for context, allows you to post activity type posts(like watching, listening, reading, etc).\nSyndication Links(Link) \u2013 Another project, which adds fields to a post for the corresponding versions on other networks. It also adds links to same to the post.\n\nH-Card Tools \u2013 Still under development and not yet available for download, this is just the profile widget marked up appropriately, in the sidebar of the site. Some of this was rolled into the Indieweb plugin\nIndieweb Plugin(Link) \u2013 The Indieweb plugin is not only a plugin installer, but it contains tools for adding rel-me links based on your profile, declaring the default author for your site, and adding a simple h-card widget to show off a primary author.\nA Few Choices\nThere is an alternative to my Syndication Links plugin\u2026a plugin called WordPress Syndication (Link). \u00a0It automatically adds the links to the post, and extracts the data from a variety of sources that post to other sites. This includes NextScripts Social Network Auto-Poster(Link) or Mailchimp\u2019s Social plugin(Link), and even Bridgy(we\u2019ll get back to Bridgy in a moment).\nThe theme I use is a custom one I built, but the most popular theme for Indieweb sites is Sempress(Link). My theme isn\u2019t quite refined, but if you want it, a copy can be downloaded here. The version in use on my site is just a colored version of the minimal style the theme offers. I am currently using a fork of the WordPress Twenty-Sixteen theme(link) I modified for Microformats and support of the plugins I use.\nBridgy\nBridgy is not a WordPress plugin, or something you need to install(although you can host it yourself). Bridgy now has a WordPress plugin(link) which acts as a UI for registering and posting to Bridgy. Oddly enough, I wrote the plugin, but don\u2019t actively use it. I need to fix my handling of syndication.\nBridgy is a service that you can link your accounts on places like Twitter, Github and Facebook to, and it will pull in comments, likes, etc from those sites and send them to your site to be integrated. This requires the Webmention and Semantic Linkback plugins to understand what is being sent.\nTo the Future\nI enjoy developing this site as a learning tool. I hadn\u2019t done much WordPress development before this and it is very useful to know.\nFor anyone who comes here considering trying my setup, I\u2019m always available to help. For those who are trying my plugins\u2026they are still being refined, but feedback and contributions(of code) are appreciated.\nThis site is under development, so it does change regularly. I will often summarize some of the changes with a post, but sometimes not.",
