Stopped working in my install after update to 1.2.2

[iamwebrocker]

after the recent update (which reversed the description(and the logic?) of the omit/show backlink per post option), now it won't publish thru bridgy, because "Bridgy Error: Couldn't find link to brid.gy/publish/twitter" dunno if related to the above changes, but before the update it worked without adding a manual link in the post to brid.gy/publish/twitter (i thought this is what the plugin is all about - else my blog would send a webmention to brid.gy anyways if i'd add the link in the post.

It didn't invert the logic, just what the UI said, due massive confusion. So show will do nothing, etc. What do your settings say?

[iamwebrocker]

it is set to "show", which also is set as default in the general plugin settings.

so, "omit -> never" is the same as "show -> always", "omit -> always" is "show -> never" and "maybe" is "maybe" ;-), ok. Just wondering if bridgy may has changed the logic, too? (not 100% sure, but I think on their site was "omit backlink", where now it says "Include link: yes no if shortened" (else I'm wondering where the "omit always/never/maybe" labeling came from ;-) )

will follow with bridgy's log, here's one of a successful test some weeks ago:

here's the log from the failed one right after the update: https://brid.gy/log?start_time=1487004042&key=aglzfmJyaWQtZ3lyXwsSDVB1Ymxpc2hlZFBhZ2UiOGh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LndlYnJvY2tlci5kZS8yMDE3LzAyLzEzL2JyaWRneS1wdWJsaXNoLXRlc3QvDAsSB1B1Ymxpc2gYgICAgICAgAoM

On the other hand, even when no backlink is desired, a "webmention" link for bridgy should be inserted for it to work, so my issue cannot be related to the labeling changes… hmm.

[iamwebrocker]

I just remember, I had some issues with the recent update of the webmention plugin which were resolved by simply de- and re-activating the plugin (after a suggestion by the author) -- will try this here as well and come back. Update: the off/on trick did not work.

[iamwebrocker]

It seems that the wp-postmeta will not be updated with the _bridgy_options: the recent test:

an older test (I just re-checked; there's no link to brid.gy/publish/twitter/ in the post):

only difference I see is the mf2_syndication/mf2_syndicate-to meta… there is only one "mf2_syndicate-to" meta in the database, from the latest test.

[iamwebrocker]

Just poking in the dark… in

https://github.com/dshanske/bridgy-publish/blob/master/includes/class-bridgy-postmeta.php#L206 ff

there are checks on "mf2_syndication", but in the rest of the file (fe. https://github.com/dshanske/bridgy-publish/blob/master/includes/class-bridgy-postmeta.php#L147) "mf2_syndicatate-to" is used… could this be the problem?

[dshanske]

mf2_syndication is the returned link. mf2_syndicate-to is the request to syndicate.

[dshanske]

Let me look again. It seems like I break one person's fixing the other. I am not sure why.

[iamwebrocker]

thanks! I'm using the current 4.7.2 wordpress. the "indie web" plugins are: bridgy-publish (1.2.2), semantic linkbacks (3.3.0), syndication links (3.1.1), web actions (1.0.0dev), web mention (3.1.0), web mention form (1.0.0dev) If you need additional info let me know.

[iamwebrocker]

looking at #25 I notice that in my general settings I neither have shortlinks or "post from excerpt" enabled. Will try this, and come back. Update: Changing those settings didn't change the error in my install.

[iamwebrocker]

If I include an empty link to brid.gy/publish/twitter in the post it works as expected. Just to make sure; this should not be needed, right? (asking because in #21 @snarfed mentioned a similar thing - plugin should add the link if neccessary) so I'm not sure if it once worked without the added link?

[iamwebrocker]

the _brigy_* meta values are still not saved, it seems

[iamwebrocker]

Another idea - if the meta data is now inserted via wp-footer (not in the content - see #24) - will brid.gy pick up the "publish" intend if it now may be outside of the h-entry / post wrapper?

[snarfed]

@iamwebrocker yes, the brid.gy/publish/SILO link can be anywhere on the page. thanks for the nudge, i've updated the docs: https://brid.gy/about#publish-backlink

[dshanske]

The storage location was moved several revisions ago to support Micropub

[iamwebrocker]

@dshanske ok, then it seems that I haven't used the publish option since I updated to the 1.2.0 version a while ago. thanks for the info. :-)
