@pfefferle I have a question re: the ActivityPub plugin dev workflow. Do you commit minified files to the repository? If so, why?

@cdevroe there are some reasons:
1. I have not yet had the time to update the GitHub runner, that releases the code on WordPress.org
2. It is possible to install the script through composer, so it should include all code that is needed to run it without an extra build
3. It is easier to run/test the latest version if you do not have to run npm stuff -

@pfefferle These were my guesses as to the reasons! Thank you for letting me know. When I looked at the diff to see how you implemented the fix, I was surprised is all. TY! And TY for taking care of that very simple improvement so quickly!
Btw, I _think_ I fixed my site by turning off my author profile, enabling the blog profile at @colin , and turning ON the @stupid profile. I'm still learning. I just didn't want my username to be cdevroe.

you turned authors OFF and one author ON? How is that possible?

@pfefferle Sorry. First, I only had blog profile. Then, I wanted additional accounts - so I turned author profiles on. However, that gets weird because my main author is me but the username is cdevroe. And I didn't want that. So I disabled ActivityPub on my main author and created an additional author.
I'm still unsure if this is a good idea. Because then posts get split between authors (which makes sense). But it may not make sense for a single person website? Again, I'm still learning!

@cdevroe ah, I see!
this has some history... I originally started with only author profiles, but the most requested feature was the single user mode (blog-profile). So we added that afterwards and I thought it might be a nice idea to have them also combined.
I plan to simplify the settings a bit and to add some more explanation. I also think about a way to change usernames, but for this we need ActivityPub IDs that do not include the username.

@cdevroe I also use both by the way!
I have the blog-profile enabled @notiz.blog and my author-profile: @[email protected] ️

@pfefferle I think how the settings are makes sense. Because each “account” requires a profile, I think tying them to authors in WordPress is the best approach. I had thought about tying them to categories - but that doesn't make sense.
It would be up to me to figure out how best to display, or not display, the author information on my site - while the content is federated under each author.

@pfefferle @notiz.blog @[email protected] Totally! This is great. I would have too, but my WordPress author is cdevroe rather than colin. And changing it isn't trivial.
