@khurtwilliams Kudos for your tenacity! I just saw your notes on my site. The first http://boffosocko.com/2017/10/28/content-bloat-privacy-archives-peter-molnar/#comment-37986 appears to have been sent first as the webmention. The second two (http://boffosocko.com/2017/10/28/content-bloat-privacy-archives-peter-molnar/#comment-37984 and http://boffosocko.com/2017/10/28/content-bloat-privacy-archives-peter-molnar/#comment-37985) appear to have been input manually in the comment section of my site.

I'm guessing you didn't see (or possibly get the webmention--unless you're careful WordPress can often put webmentions into your spam queue) my other reply the other day that explained the issue. You can find it here (http://stream.boffosocko.com/2017/kh%C3%BCrt-ive-figured-it-out-then-id-seen-the-issue or here threaded into the commentary http://boffosocko.com/2017/10/25/your-licenses-frankly-my-dear-cogdogblog/#comment-37780), but I'll also manually syndicate my replies to you as well. Hopefully the explanation will solve your mystery.

By the way, once you fixed the URL on your first original webmention, it did come through and is listed in the Mentions subsection at the bottom of the comments: http://boffosocko.com/2017/10/25/your-licenses-frankly-my-dear-cogdogblog/#comments It shows up as a mention instead of a reply, because the URL that fed through was the raw one (i.e. without a class in the body of your response). If you fix the emoji portion and click save that URL will have a u-in-reply-to which should cause your response to show up and be parsed properly as a reply instead of just a vanilla mention).

If you'd like to discuss the subtleties of any of this in person, feel free to catch me on my phone number on my homepage. :)

@lpachter @YangKevinK That's totally befitting a computational biologist! Can you share the \LaTeX\ file? ;)

@Paul_Kinlan and here I thought thou were misspelling Perl...

@benwerd Quit taunting me... Perhaps next time?!

Khürt, I've figured it out then. I'd seen the issue I initially thought you were having a few dozen times.

Your actual issue is far more subtle, but is a known issue with WordPress. Because the title of my original post contains the glasses emoji 👓 (indicating it's a "read" post, or something that I read and made some sort of comment on), WordPress "eats" or filters out all of the data you're trying to save. If you put the URL in again and then retrieve the data, but this time delete out just that pesky emoji, it should save properly as you expect it. Let me know if that doesn't work.

I've noticed the issue before and reported it officially here: https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/issues/117

Aaron, I suspect that the visible code <span class='p-author h-card'>Aaron Davis</span> which appears on your byline on your site is the result of the uf2 plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-uf2/ conflicting with your theme, which already has microformats baked into it. You should be able to disable that plugin without any ill effects for any other functionality while simultaneously getting rid of that visible span. If that's not the case, you might want to file an issue at https://github.com/pfefferle/SemPress.
