Are you an #indieweb #WordPress user? We could use your help testing the latest version of micropub and Indieauth plugins. Drop by https://chat.indieweb.org/wordpress for details or ping me here. Thanks!
Ryan Barrett, who created the Micropub endpoint for WordPress, has turned the project over to the Indieweb repository as he has not been using it or actively working on it. I have been actively working on a major set of changes for it over the last two months. Ryan, despite not using it, has been generous with his time and feedback, despite the occasional WordPress or PHP frustration…and hopefully not too much from me. In his honor, I wrote this post on Indigenous for Android, published via the current release version of Micropub.
People continued working on it. Everything you need using W3C standards like Webmention, Microformats2…give it a try? https://IndieWeb.org/WordPress/Plugins

Great Success with twentysixteen-indieweb Wordpress Theme

Configure Indiepaper with IndieAuth

Just came across this 5 year old post from Pippin about using the_title_attribute instead of the_title and wondering why twentysixteen is using the_title. This very issue has tripped up the IndieWeb community trying to add mf2. https://pippinsplugins.com/use-the_title-and-the_title_attribute-correctly/
But as it stands, with only two minor edits to the mf2 plugin & suite of Indieweb WP plugins I already had installed, I’m using default twentysixteen WordPress theme. I’m syndicating to micro.blog, Twitter (via brid.gy) and Mastodon (via auto-poster plugin). I’m also receiving backfeed from all three. I can also comment and create GitHub issues as post on my site, again, using existing plugins and brid.gy. The work this community has done in the last 2 years is amazing.
So part way through my testing of the State of WordPress in IndieWeb and it really is so far less “broken” than I think a lot of us believed in regards to using the core 2016 theme. Still more testing to do.
A little appropos seeing this quote shared by Matt today after I wrote this last night

“WordPress was orginally about making it easier to put words and pictures on the Internet. Gutenberg and 5.0 is about ushering in a new interface to do that. We should at least fight to make the full IndieWeb experience a little easier to be a part of that change.”

Live Testing the State of Affairs in WordPress & the IndieWeb

I need to keep a list of draft notes to use for testing micropub so I’m not just saying "testing"

How I send webmentions to Micro.blog

If you use Micro.blog completely from the native apps, everything works smoothly. If you communicate via the IndieWeb through webmentions, everything (mostly) works smoothly. But there is a big hiccup that is still being worked out when you communicate via Webmentions to Micro.blog. The current functionality is described here, however it’s not exhaustive and it doesn’t work 100% of the time.

Yes, I use Indigenous on iOS which is what I use 90% of the time. But the benefit of the setup is if I’m on my computer I can use @aaronpk’s Monocle web App. (Although I’m looking forward to UIKit on the Mac so Indigenous can be everywhere). I send a webmention ping to https://micro.blog/webmention for every post I write, that way if the post I’m replying to is in the Micro.blog system, my reply appears here.

I haven’t yet, I should…. but until them my set up is very similar to what @aaronpk wrote about here: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet

That makes sense. That’s how I use it too! Because I use a Social Reader that allows me to post replies to my website and then send a webmention to Micro.blog to alert it of my response, so I get the best of birth worlds, the RSS reader control but I don’t have to open up Micro.blog to reply, I can do it inline.
