WordPress, feeds and titles: colinwalker.blog
@colinwalker I have a note in my book to link to your title plugin. Decided not to include it in the "getting started" section just because I think it's more approachable if people start with the basics. WordPress config can quickly get overwhelming, but good for people who are ready for it.
@manton I completely agree. If keeping things as simple as possible works then that’s obviously the way to go. Still, it’s good to have options should we need them 😉 Really looking forward to the book.
@manton I definitely make things more complicated than they need to be but that’s just because of how I want to operate.
@svenseebeck @colinwalker I didn't realize there were options for that screen, either! Some excerpts leave a bit to be desired, though….
I keep meaning to file an issue in the WP Trac about making titleless posts appear distinct from each other on the posts screen, given WP supports stuff like status post format and the P2 theme (which Automattic uses heavily, IIRC)—something like "(no title) [post 1234]"…
@manton Just a thought: is it worth mentioning pinging micro.og from WP in the Setting up WordPress guide? People are going to wonder early on if posts don’t come through quickly.
@colinwalker Maybe. I left it out because it's optional and is mentioned on the Feeds help page. I also have a chapter of my book about real-time feeds that I may try to bring into the help site in some form.
@clreed87 Cool, thanks for the feedback. As I'm reviewing the documentation, it is not very prominently linked. Should be on the WebSub page and maybe other places.
@clreed87 They’re both fine just different syntax. I use other get functions elsewhere so it’s just a consistency thing.
@clreed87 Just worked for me. You’re talking about add_filter( 'title_save_pre', 'filter_title_save_pre', 10, 1 ); yeah?
@colinwalker This and your other posts & code snippets have been very helpful towards setting up my micro.blog and Wordpress. Many thanks!
