In reply to: [ActivityPub] Media attachment is not the expected oneFor the OGP post, there’s a jpg, then an embedded podcast player from Acast, and then (because it doesn’t show up on iOS9) a simple mp3 download link for the episode. It looks to me like it’s the latter that’s been sent to fedi as the attachment.
In the “Float…” post, I used “Add media” to embed a couple of short mp4 videos from my media library. The first one of those was pushed (despite several jpgs coming before it in the post.).
In the “Yo-yo weight loss” post, again, there are 4 jpgs, and then an mp4 video embedded using the html5 embed code from the site it’s hosted on. That video was originally pushed to fedi. That was the first time this happened to me, and I assumed I’d done something wrong, so I went back and tried to edit the post. I can’t remember what edit I made (something minor, I expect), but now the post is showing on fedi without any attachment in moth.social, but with the video on mastodon.social.
I hope that info is helpful!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [ActivityPub] Media attachment is not the expected oneHi, I didn’t select video-post format. In fact, I never knew that option existed, and I can’t see it in either of my site’s post editors. (I use Classic Editor in both.) I just searched and found “If you are using a theme that supports post formats, you can apply the format through the Post editor.”
I’m using Sundance on tlmb.net, and Parament on offgrid.tlmb.net . I can’t see the option to change the post format in either of them, in either the Classic or Block editors.
https://offgrid.tlmb.net/2024/11/24/unique-elvish-limelight-ep-46/?activitypub is showing type = “Note”.
Same thing on those other two posts. I used “Add a new post” in the WP Posts menu to create all three of them. So I don’t know how these posts have been interpreted as video or audio posts. Is that going to happen whenever a post has an audio or video file in it? :-/Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [ActivityPub] Retaining TitleCase (aka CamelCase) in hashtagsMaybe, 4.3 just came out after all. Okay, if it’s not AP, I guess this is closed. Thanks anyway!

In reply to: [ActivityPub] Retaining TitleCase (aka CamelCase) in hashtagsHi. I’ve only used YoYoCollection tag twice: once yesterday, and once today, both times with caps. Do you mean saved in WordPress, or saved in Mastodon? Clicking the (capital-less)tag in my Masto instance shows only my two posts. At the top of the column showing these posts, the tag is both uncapitalised, then capitalised. But the tags in the posts themselves are uncapitalised. (I’ll post a screenshot and tag you on Masto…)
In my WordPress list of tags, the capitals are shown. Clicking the tag in WP loads all (both) posts with it, and the URL the browser loads,
https://tlmb.net/blog/tag/yoyocollection/ , has no caps.
Is any of that useful info? 🙂Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [ActivityPub] The “more” tagThanks Matthias,
I thought that ought to be the case, but it’s good to have it confirmed.
Cheers,

In reply to: [ActivityPub] Webfinger(?/APub?) problem with WP in subfolderHi, I’m back. I made a new blog post on Sep 9th, but I only just realised that I hadn’t seen it anywhere on Masto. I searched for the user on both moth.social and mastodon.social, finding it okay, but not with the latest post showing. Refreshed several times, waited a few hours, but no sign of it. I made another test post on the blog earlier today (Classic “Test, please ignore” 🙂 ), and that didn’t show up either. (I’ve since deleted that one.) I’m pretty sure I haven’t changed anything on the set-up since my post of 12th August, barring updating to 3.2.5.
So I came back here, and saw your post here, Matthias, suggesting the “cheat” of searching for the post’s URL in Masto (moth.social). It worked, yay! But it would be nice not to have to do that every time. It’s not likely to be a very active blog – I don’t know if that would be relevant. Any ideas on why my Sep 7th post didn’t show up?

In reply to: [ActivityPub] Webfinger(?/APub?) problem with WP in subfolderUpdate: After doing nothing else but waiting a while, the account is now showing up in a search for @thebka in my Mammoth app, although not (yet?) via a web interface search. I guess that means the .htaccess rewrite rule did the trick. (I’m still confused though! 🙂 )

In reply to: [ActivityPub] Webfinger(?/APub?) problem with WP in subfolderHi Matthias,
Thanks for the reply. I added the rewrite rule to my root .htaccess fileRedirectMatch "^\/\.well-known/(webfinger|nodeinfo|x-nodeinfo2)(.*)$" /blog/.well-known/$1$2..making sure to change /blog/ to my /b/ (my WP subfolder). My Site Health now no longer has the error message for webfinger. Thanks. But, I still can’t see @thebka via a Mastodon search (either with or without @kendama.co.uk afterwards). Maybe I just need to wait a while, but I want to write out exactly why (still) I’m unclear about things:
1. After installing webfinger, I can see /.well-known/ in my root folder. There’s nothing in it apart from an empty folder “acme-challenge”. (I think acme-challenge is to do with Dreamhost’s implementation of Let’s Encrypt. Actually, maybe the folder root/.well-known/ was already there before I installed webfinger?)
2. Having added the rewrite rule, I expect any requests for the webfinger file to be redirected to look for /.well-known/ in my subdirectory, right? But there is no such folder in my subdirectory. Should I create one manually? Or should I copy the one in my root folder there?
3. I also think there ought to be a file called “webfinger” , with no extension, in the /.well-known/ folder, right? There isn’t such a file in my root/.well-known/ folder. Should there be? If so, why isn’t it there?
4. If there should be such a file, where do I get it? Or do I just create one in a text editor and remove the .txt extension? I can do that, but I don’t know what the contents of the file need to be.
5. Assuming I create such a file, should it go *only* in /subfolder/.well-known/ , or should I put it in root/.well-known/ too? (I assume not, given the re-write rule above.)
Thanks for your patience.,

In reply to: [ActivityPub] Latest post not shown up on fediOh! Well, this is odd. The blog post was made on Sunday, so that would be quite a delay. But yes, you’re right – if I visit mastodon.social, and search for @offgriddervoid, I can see that account’s post for episode 41, including the fact that it has been edited, and that it was boosted by @offgridpod – all as it should be. But it’s not showing up in either of those profiles’ list of posts when I look at them in moth.social . Hmm, I guess that means it’s a moth.social problem, not an AP one? I’ll try boosting that post from my (non-blog) profile in moth.social…
…Okay, after boosting from my personal account, the post shows up under @offgriddervoid’s posts , but not under @offgridpod’s (both when viewed in moth.social). I’ll wait a while to see if the latter shows up. Still a bit of a mystery to me, but at least I now know to search via a different instance before panicking. :-/
Thanks…
