Jan, I published a “Note” with the IndieBlocks plugin, but it is not showing up on my home page. When I click on the View link for the post in the Dashboard, I get an error message saying that the page does not exist. Any ideas?
This weekend, I tried out the IndieBlocks plugin for WordPress websites. In 2019, WordPress moved to a new editor for weblog posts called Gutenberg, which uses “blocks” to insert different types of post formats (text, formatted text, video, embeds, etc.). IndieWeb developers had developed a plugin to support different post types, but it used the Classic Editor (now called), and did not support the Gutenberg editor. I played with the “Context” block, and was able to create bookmark, like, and reply posts. I did have a problem with creating a standalone Note using the IndieBlocks plugin (I created it, but it did not appear on the home page). However, the developer said that he is working on the issue.
Aargh, so sorry about that! There’s likely an issue with the plugin’s registering of new permalinks. A simple visit to Settings > Permalinks should solve your second problem.
As to notes not showing on the homepage, that is “somewhat” intentional. (I mean, IndieBlocks is obviously still built around my personal use case.) While it is possible to include them, that would currently require some custom PHP code.
The next version of the plugin, however, will already make it possible to include notes into your main RSS feed; I may extend that to the homepage.
