Dave's WordPress home in the Fediverse :-)
The exceptional test post

I don't like to write test posts on daveverse.org but it's the only WordPress site I have that has the site and post id feature. I want to be sure FeedLand is processing this stuff correctly, so that requires a test post here. I will add more information so it's not entirely a test post. 

The question I wanted to answer was this: If I post something new to daveverse, will it have the site id and post id in the item record for the post. Answer — it did. 

The next question is this: After I update the post will it retain the site and post id in the item record. Let's find out! The answer is yes. Whew. That says the code I had suspected of being wrong was probably right all along. It's just that I was testing with feeds that didn't have the elements that make this work. 

So now the question is how to get along?

  • Is there another way to get the elements into the feed? (Probably, going to check with Scott.)
  • Can I get the site and post id's from the URL of the post? (Pretty sure I can do that, but it'll further complicate the software.)
  • Whatever gave daveverse the magic ability to have these elements in its feed could be applied to one of my other test sites?

Update: A comment from Jeremy Herve says this is a bug and will be fixed. Well I did not foresee that possibility, but that's the easiest option for me. Happy.
