Excerpt not copying properly · Issue #7 · meitar/wp-crosspost https://github.com/meitar/wp-crosspost/issues/7

When I do this:
Post something on my self-hosted WP blog without anything in the "Excerpt" field

This happens:
The crosspost that appears on WordPress.com seems to have cut and pasted a portion of the body of the original along with the notice about the original post into the excerpt field.

Complicating things somewhat is that I'm using the 2016 theme which utilizes the excerpt as a magazine-like "kicker" or subtitle, so it publishes the excerpt as a teaser line between the title of the post and the traditional body of the post. With most themes this "bug" isn't as problematic as the excerpt is used as metadata, but in my case it's publishing content in a duplicative fashion.

Example:
Original post: http://boffosocko.com/2016/06/04/55673397/
Syndicated post: https://chrisaldrich.wordpress.com/2016/06/04/55673397/

As an aside, given your personal philosophy and the motivation behind this particular plugin and your tumblr crossposter, if you're not already aware of them, I thought I'd mention the [IndieWeb movement](http://indiewebcamp.com) which is firmly behind people owning their own data (as opposed to corporate silos like Facebook, Twitter, et. al. owning it) as well as their online identities. (It's also part of the reason I've been using this particular plugin). I suspect you'll appreciate their mission and potentially be able to use portions of their opensource code and related work.

Call to undefined function extract_domain_name() · Issue #24 · dshanske/syndication-links https://github.com/dshanske/syndication-links/issues/24

After updating IndieWeb plugin and Syndication Links I get the following:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function extract_domain_name() in /wp-content/plugins/syndication-links/includes/class-syn-meta.php on line 52

This shows up in the page display where the content is usually otherwise output, so I still get the featured image, but no content and the error appears instead.

If I check the box for "Disable Syndication Links in the Content" the error disappears, but of course then the links don't show up on the page.

Cannot redeclare class RelMe_Widget · Issue #36 · indieweb/wordpress-indieweb https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieweb/issues/36

Just updated to the newest IndieWeb plugin and got:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class RelMe_Widget in /wp-content/plugins/indieweb/includes/class-relme-widget.php on line 87

I hadn't gotten a chance to do the update to Syndication Links yet. Could that be related? Do they both need to be updated simultaneously?

@Bradamante in re: #IndieWeb life http://etherpad.indiewebcamp.com/indieweb-life with regard to Twitter from this afternoon

I keep a primary site at www.boffosocko.com for longform and usually more substantive (whatever this means...) content while I use the Known platform through www.stream.boffosocko.com for shorter form content, checkins, status updates (Twitter), etc. Keeping my Twitter content is easier here because I don't expect any/many to subscribe to my stream site, so I'm not worried about spamming the world that may want to follow the more substantive stuff. I've tried to make using twitter with my stream as easy as possible by using a simple bookmarklet on desktop () and a simple sharing tool on mobile (http://indiewebcamp.com/Posting_from_mobile_devices)

One day, perhaps when I've over-configured my WordPress install to do things exactly the way I want them, perhaps I'll post it all to one site, but for now, it seems to work pretty well for me without being onerous for my (percieved) audience (hi mom!) :)

Fortunately there's a million ways to do all of this, you just have to find what works best for you.

B0RG, if you need it you can read some of the details I've sketched out at:
https://github.com/chrisaldrich/wordpress-indieweb/blob/ee1cfb72203f1feef05b9225c4bb465abc82e094/readme.md

Let us know if you need any additional help!

Mostly I'm just thinking about this from the IndieWeb "Own Your Own Data" perspective, so if I'm reading this all correctly, the way the plugin is handling things, it's relying on Twitter's long term existence to serve up the physical content of the tweet?

I would suggest that using the blockquote method with the associated .js may be preferable for IndieWeb users as it saves the content of the tweet as a blockquote with the associated metadata. At worst, if Twitter disappeared, then one would at least "own" the text of the original which would minimally fallback to display as a simple blockquote rather than the fancier embedded Twitter card.

Embed for Tweets versus Blockquote (html/js) with Text? · Issue #10 · pfefferle/wordpress-indieweb-press-this https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-indieweb-press-this/issues/10

I've noticed that the IndieWeb Press This bookmarklet uses something like [embed]https://twitter.com/ChrisAldrich/status/707313378268618752 [/embed] in the main body of the content rather than the Twitter html/js embed method
(a la: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"> etc... )

I suspect that WordPress is doing some processing on the back end with the [embed] short code to fetch and display the twitter card and thus isn't technically saving the actual content of the tweet the way the blockquote embed method does. In the event of a Twitter silo death, this could spell trouble for users losing the data.

Rich Embeds for silos like Twitter might actually be somewhat useful when using post kinds "like" and "repost" as the Twitter card would then display in the post in a nice visual fashion. The tougher question, however, is: Is the actual content of the Tweet being copied over as a blockquote with the full text (similar to what one would cut/paste from Twitter when clicking on their "embed" option within a Tweet) or is it using something like [embed]https://twitter.com/ChrisAldrich/status/707313378268618752 [/embed] which happens with the [IndieWeb Press This](https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-indieweb-press-this) plugin? If this is the case, then I imagine that if Twitter experienced a site-death then the proverbial "backup copy" of the plain text of the original liked/reposted tweet would be gone and the [embed] portion would be utterly useless thereafter, no?

Scott, I love the concept of your bookmarklets and how they work!! I particularly like the way that WP blockquotes the original and copies over the actual text of the tweet. Sadly after configuring it for use, when I cut and paste I don't get the actual tweet, but end up with a blockquote that literally reads "+document.title+" instead of the text of the tweet. I'm also using it in Chrome, but not sure what is going wrong that I'm seeing this quoted text instead of the actual tweet. Is there something else I need to configure?

I like the way your bookmarklet works compared to the https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-indieweb-press-this bookmarklets which work fine, but rather than do a full embed of the actual text in blockquote style, it puts in something like `[embed]https://twitter.com/ChrisAldrich/status/707313378268618752[/embed]` which WordPress then processes to display the tweet. I'd worry that if Twitter experienced a site death, that the content on my site would no longer show the original content of the tweet!

The third potential method of doing all this could be to use David Shanske's Post Kinds plugin https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds which provides the ability to create a bookmarklet that supports URL parameters using the URL http://www.YOURSITE.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?kind=like&kindurl=@url or http://www.YOURSITE.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?kind=repost&kindurl=@url where the variable "@url" is the permalink of the tweet. The post kind is then set appropriately as well as the referenced URL which then does the embed, but I suspect it's using the [embed] method, which again doesn't seem like it will work sustainably in a possible post-Twitter world.

@TechLifeWeb Not sure if you'd run across it yet, but are you attending #IndieWeb Camp in LA this year? http://indiewebcamp.com/2016/LA
