• I’ve been using ActivityPub for a while, and, to my knowledge, it’s been working fine so far. However, yesterday I was browsing Mastodon, and saw that there was a reply to the linked post that has not been pulled in by WordPress.

    Here is the reply in question: https://mastodon.social/@peterkal/112718523180729726

    What would cause WordPress to miss this reply? And is there a way to “pull” it in, so that I can show it on my site and respond to it?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Have you changed something with your hosting environment lately? Or have you added caching?

    It seems that your site does not reply to ActivityPub requests properle:

    curl "https://lars-christian.com/@blog" \
    -H 'Accept: application/activity+json'

    Nothing’s changed in the setup, to my knowledge. I’m running Surge, with content negotiation set up, and it’s been working just fine up until I noticed the missing reply. I’ve tried disabling it as well, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

    Only “change” I can recall recently, is the recent upgrade of the ActivityPub plugin.

    No idea what the response to that curl request should look like, so I can’t really add any info.

    Additional info: Replies seem to come through just fine on this post: https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/112673026752773024 — but anything later than that, and it doesn’t seem to work. Whereas it’s not working on posts from yesterday/today.

    Edit: Never mind, doesn’t seem like the post age is the culprit. Tested this one https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]/112666271115729274 which is older, and it’s not working there. Not finding a clear pattern between posts it’s working for and posts it isn’t working for.

    Another update: WordPress is missing delete comment calls as well. Posted a bunch of test replies via Mastodon now to test. Deleting worked fine for one of the comments, and then it suddenly didn’t for the next ones. Absolutely no idea what’s going here.

    I will have a look, thanks for the details!
