This may be a dumb question, but I would like to do the same thing as the OP, and I’m assuming the new 1.0 release that I upgraded to has that option, but I can’t find any way to remove the www from my handle. The plugin settings say to edit my profile to “customize username”, but that’s obviously only for the part of the handle that comes before the URL.

I just updated my plugin, as well, but in my case, I still have the same behavior: follow requests from Mastodon remain pending.

@joshisanonymous from what I can tell everything should be working okay – I can make the WebFinger request, I can then request the appropriate author page using application/activity+json, I can send a Follow request and get an Accepted request back, I can fetch old posts – so it all looks good… Trying to follow from an actual Mastodon instance though still gets stuck in the “Cancel Follow Request” prompt. I’ll admit it’s reached the limit of what I can diagnose at the moment, sorry ??

Hi @rbairwell. I tried to make a non-Mastodon fediverse account myself to see if it was a Mastodon issue. (I didn’t succeed because I chose PeerTube, from which you can’t follow non-PeerTube fediverse accounts apparently.)

I’m kind of not surprised that it could be a Mastodon-only issue, though. When I first started there, I saw the same behavior whenever I tried to follow a mastodon.social accounts, which seemed to be a result of that server being hit very hard during Twitter migration activities. My blog is obviously not getting hit hard at all — it’s rarely visited in fact — but maybe as far as Mastodon is concerned, my blog is being overrun or something?

Hi @joshisanonymous : could you let me know what your “Fediverse Profile identifier” is (should be shown at the bottom of your WordPress site’s User page – it’ll be something like “Try to follow “@[email protected]” in the Mastodon/Friendica search field.”. I’ll then run it through a couple of testers I’ve got to see if I can work out what the issue could be.

Sure @rbairwell, it’s @josh@www.joshmcneill.com.

This is the same behavior I’m stuck at, too. Webfinger works, I can find my blog from Mastodon and try to follow, but I’m stuck at “pending approval” for the follow. My site is on HostGator, Apache 2.4.x, WordPress 6.1.1, and the following extensions installed, some of which I deactivated to see if it changed the behavior:

• Akismet
• Disable New User Notifications (deactivated)
• Jetpack (deactivated)
• Really Simple SSL
• ActivityPub 0.13.4
• Ceceppa Multilingua

The last one is for creating two versions of the blog in two different languages, so I guess that’s considered having a “multisite” or whatever as the URL end up being fr/ and en/.

Yes, that fix fixed it. I’m gonna look into why I can’t seem to update to php 5.6, but thanks for working it out!

Ah, weird. Yeah it’s still showing version 5.3.29. I guess the update failed.

The problem is still persisting for me today, despite upgrading my PHP version to 5.6 yesterday.

Just updated it to 5.6 from 5.4.

I’m having this same exact problem, which began immediately after updating the Disqus plugin.

My site: https://www.joshmcneill.com

I have no idea how to write PHP code, so I downloaded the problem file through FTP but I have no idea what’s wrong with the syntax. Every [ I see has a ] that goes with it.

My PHP version was 5.4 but I just changed it to 5.6 a second ago. I’m not sure how long that’s supposed to take but I’m still getting the same error.

I can also say that I use the plugin Ceceppa Multilingua to make my site multilingual. I’m not sure if that means my site is “multi-site” or not, but it seems worth mentioning.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I don’t actually have any line like that in my index.php. Here’s what I do have in that file:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="wrapper section-inner">

	<div class="content left">

		<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

			<div class="posts">

				<?php
				$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
				$total_post_count = wp_count_posts();
				$published_post_count = $total_post_count->publish;
				$total_pages = ceil( $published_post_count / $posts_per_page );

				if ( "1" < $paged ) : ?>

					<div class="page-title">

						<h4><?php printf( __('Page %s of %s', 'hemingway'), $paged, $wp_query->max_num_pages ); ?></h4>

					</div>

					<div class="clear"></div>

				<?php endif; ?>

		    	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

					<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

			    		<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>

		    		</div> <!-- /post -->

		        <?php endwhile; ?>

			<?php endif; ?>

		</div> <!-- /posts -->

		<?php if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>

			<div class="post-nav archive-nav">

				<?php echo get_next_posts_link( __('&laquo; Older<span> posts</span>', 'hemingway')); ?>

				<?php echo get_previous_posts_link( __('Newer<span> posts</span> &raquo;', 'hemingway')); ?>

				<div class="clear"></div>

			</div> <!-- /post-nav archive-nav -->

		<?php endif; ?>

	</div> <!-- /content.left -->

	<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

	<div class="clear"></div>

</div> <!-- /wrapper -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

The custom flag exists in two sizes:

/wp-content/uploads/ceceppaml/tiny/fr_FR.png
/wp-content/uploads/ceceppaml/small/fr_FR.png

And the regular French flag is in a different location with the same filename:

/wp-content/plugins/ceceppa-multilingua/flags/tiny/fr_FR.png
/wp-content/plugins/ceceppa-multilingua/flags/small/fr_FR.png

All image files have 0644 for permissions. Read and write for the owner and read for everyone else.

No worries.

Yes it is checked.

Yes, that seems to allow me match posts with their translations again and I no longer get the error I was originally getting no longer shows up.

Thanks.

This workaround is no longer working. I have been away so haven’t been posting over the last month. When I went to post something today, I found a draft of something already published in my list, along with the published version, and the 2nd language of the post had completely disappeared, which was visible before. After fighting with that post for a while, I found the 2nd language version and got them to both show up correclty (the 2nd would either not show up, or would show up as its own post, visible regardless of the language the user selected).

I then attempted to write the 2nd language version of a post that I had just created, using the workaround described above, and it would only fill the box next to the (+) symbol with the title of the post I was currently on, and would not allow me to edit it. If I go back to the list of posts and click on the either flag for this new post, it brings me to the same exact post, but changes which language the post was made under to whichever flag I had selected.

I then noticed that even older posts, from long ago, were now de-synced, meaning I now have to go back and wrestle with every post I can find to figure out how to make them show up as two versions of one post, and to show up correctly based on the language the user is in.

This is pretty much destroying my site right now and there hasn’t been an update in a month. Is there something that can be done? Thanks.
