UPDATE: Seems it already happened. Content from 2014-2023 has already been shared. So your opt-out will just be honoured going forward. If and how already sent content will be handled by the receiving 3rd party after you opt-out remains a mystery
WordPress now offers official support for ActivityPub - The Verge
The ActivityPub plug-in is now available for all WordPress.com plans, allowing users to communicate with each other across other federated platforms like Mastodon.
#WordPress nerds - I've a tricky problem that I can't find the answer to.
I want to patch a single PHP file inside a 3rd party plugin.
I can overwrite the file, and my new code works.
But when the plugin is updated, the original file replaces my patched version.
I've tried changing the permissions of the file to read-only, but that doesn't work.
Is there any sensible way to make my changes permanent?
Any #WordPress core peeps here? My RSS feed's guids have an extra forward slash in them on my local development site. E.g. <guid isPermaLink="false">http://cdevroe.local//2023/12/19/activitypub</guid>
I don't know where that slash is coming from. And I want to be certain it won't be present when I push to my live site.
Side note: The default guid in WP-powered RSS feeds seems to be ?p=INT -- this seems like a bad idea if the site uses cruft free URLs. Also, isPermalink should be true, no?
You can now have this post federated to your social media site by following @blog If you're on Mastodon, it should look something like this: You should be able to follow it on Lemmy, kBin, PixelFed, and some cool social network I've never heard of.

Until Wordpress lets us handle their data the way they want, I fail to see that WP can call itself a CMS platform. Main point of consternation is date and future date handling. If I have posts that are set to a future date, maybe I still want to display those on the public area (events anyone?) without needing to install a special plugin for dates. You’re welcome to try and change my mind.

If an actor provides an outbox URL, but not an inbox URL, it means that it cannot receive Follow activities and it can not push content to the followers. In such cases, the follower's server should switch to periodic polling like RSS.
This will enable statically-built blogs ( #jekyll#hugo etc) to appear in Mastodon network.
Out of curiosity, I tested the Mastodon Autopost plugin on Wordpress with my Sharkey test instance, and well it works with their version of the Mastodon API. I can authorize with it and send a test post. This is something that does not work on Firefish, so at least there is one working autosharing plugin.
Sadly, the one built into Jetpack still doesn't work, probably has to do with their implementation of OAuth.
Are you a #php developer or a WordPress/Laravel/Symfony/Drupal developer?
Understanding the underlying language will make you more effective and considerably more flexible/employable.
Understanding the language helps you read the framework code and make sense of complex things. It lets you adopt new tech. And it empowers you to switch from one project to another without fear.
