Advice Needed: Thinking about moving from #Blogger just because the text editor is barely functional. I'm not the biggest fan of #WordPress I just find the UI too confusing and has a tonne of options that I'll never need.
Looking into #Medium and #Ghost but am open to other options. I just need a basic text writer and maybe the ability to put the odd image in.
#WordPress question here… What is the best, free #WordPress duplicate post/page plugin out there? I am not looking for any fancy features, just something that simply duplicates the post/page as is.
Really just not looking to manually copy and paste the content.
@davew I don't think #Mastodon can catch up to #twitter as a "global townhall" or a and I think #BlueSky is more likely to be a challenge long term to Twitter solely because of the Right People gravitating there, along with Founder cred.
But I'm casting my lot with #ActivityPub. Especially #wordpress.i want to return to the blogsphere of old rather than social media silos and I think we have the tools for this now.
@tim ... I'm trying to get activitypub working on my blog and I'm getting issues with webfinger and loop backs. I am self hosting so in control of everything, but haven't got a clue where to start. I'm using cloudflare CDN with aggressive custom caching rules so I be suspect that might be part of the problem.
Have you got some links I can use to troubleshoot? I remember you also had some caching issues.
@chrisshaw ah, yeah, if you are using #Cloudflare with aggressive caching you are more than likely going to have an issue with #ActivityPub on your #Wordpress site working right. Currently Cloudflare doesn't properly respect the need to serve HTML to normal visitors and JSON to ActivityPub requests. Here are a couple of resources from @dustinrue that will be helpful:
🇬🇧 I started an experiment with a plugin for #Wordpress called #IndependentAnalytics and after just one day I can say that not only is it better for readers' privacy it is not as blocked by #AdBlock as #Jetpack (shows higher numbers).
🇵🇱 Zacząłem eksperyment z wtyczką dla #Wordpress o nazwie #IndependentAnalytics i już po jednym dniu mogę powiedzieć, że nie dość, że jest lepsza dla prywatności czytelników to nie jest tak wycinana przez #AdBlock jak #Jetpack (pokazuje wyższe liczby).
With Google recently announcing “The beginning of the end of the password” I started thinking about #WordPress and what plugins are available that allow for #passkey support for #authentication. Using only your username you can use the passkey system to use your computer or mobile device to perform the rest of the login sequence.
I'm looking for a simple #Wordpress Cache plugin but after staring at the dozens of available candidates, I must admit I have no idea where to turn. I don't need an All-in-One SEO/PageSpeed/etc..., I just need a simple server-side cache that I can set up and forget. Memcached support is a plus as it's already available on my machine.
I currently use a free #WordPress dot com site because I am lazy and don't really want to spend any money on a blog that, let's be honest, no one really cares much about (which includes me most of the time).
But I'm wondering if I should try to make a dot org site. I just don't know anything about, well anything. Any suggestions for doing so on the cheap (is bluehost really the best bet for hosting?) or about doing any of this because I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm many kinds of writer - novelist, journalist, activist, editorialist, screenwriter - but at core, I'm a #blogger. Every bit of interesting stuff that crosses my path gets turned into a blog post, which gets lodged in both a #WordPress database and my mind, where it rubs up against other interesting stuff and crystallizes into longer, more considered pieces:
Anyone help with a #linux question?
Installing a plugin on my self hosted Wordpress site and it keeps baulking and saying 2 directories do not have the required 644 write permission set.
But they do.
It's for SSL certificate and the path is /var/www/ssl/ with the 2 directories in question being within the ssl directory and called 'keys' and 'certs'.
I am am stuck.
Do I need to make all the parent directories 644 too?? All I can think of but then might that affect 'other things'? 😜 #wordpress
Many here have been pushing the idea that #RSS has been neglected for far too long. I tend to agree.
If you're a #WordPress user, here's a plugin you should try: Friends by @alex described by @pfefferle as "A federated network based on RSS!".
It doesn't use #ActivityPub, but can be "enhanced" by it.
I recently switched the #WordPress spam filter on @blendernation from #Akismet to the free Antispam Bee and it works like a charm. Added privacy bonus: ASB runs locally and sends no data to some cloud service.
