Finally properly testing @pfefferle's #WordPress / Fediverse integration and genuinely impressed at how smoothly it works. Not only basic posting, from multiple users, each with their own @name@blog.example handle – but commenting from my masto client onto the blog, and replies from the blog back to the fediverse. It's so good I no longer know why every WordPress blog doesn't implement it beyond a) it took me this long; b) the blog seems a little slower? Am curious if there's new resource demands.
@pfefferle only issue I can see is that publishing/unpublishing/republishing a post seems to result in it appearing multiple times in my feed.
@nicol on mastodon? how do you "unpublish"? WordPress is a bit special, because it has different states on posts than for example mastodon.
@pfefferle change to draft?
@pfefferle NB I noticed if I edit the post then it changed the content of the post to alert the reader a change is coming, and then changed it back when I saved – which was really slick!
@nicol that is how it should work! but it should not duplicate stuff!
@nicol @pfefferle grump, I’ve been “admin@“ my blog for jeepers, two decades, going to need to figure out how to actually fix that
@luis_in_brief @nicol the "easiest" way is to replace the login name in the db.
I think there are also plugins for that.
@pfefferle @luis_in_brief yup, I used https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-edit-username/. And 'One User Avatar' plugin to be able to choose the avatar image, rather than go thru Gravatar.
