The Whet

...among other innocuous tags like bold, blockquote, and so forth.

This patch implements Daniel P. Barron's simple fix. Also included is a revision of the trilema-specific database interaction in wp-comments-post.php to the default wp_comments table as pointed out by diana_coman.

*Edit March 26th 2019: My first regrind was still fucked up, as Daniel P. Barron graciously pointed out yet again. I've reground again using correct syntax. So then:

The secondly-reground patch:
mp-wp_html-comments-regrind.vpatch

The corresponding sig:
mp-wp_html-comments-regrind.vpatch.hanbot.sig

---fuxed files, for posterior---

*Edit March 25th 2019: I've reground this patch based on Daniel P. Barron's catch of my incorrect use of a default rather than a variable table name. The reground versions are:

Reground patch:
mp-wp_html-comments-fixed.vpatch

Reground sig:
mp-wp_html-comments-fixed.vpatch.hanbot.sig

The old patch:
mp-wp_html-comments-enabled.vpatch

My old sig:
mp-wp_html-comments-enabled.vpatch.hanbot.sig

Cause for this regrind consists of the lack of a proper manifest file as per the official Republican spec, along with the incorrect directory structure, both of which have been addressed in this new genesis vpatch.

The recently-released patch for comments has been included, as has a minor cosmetic/derpatic change to image files, the names of which no longer contain spurious remnants of their pre-svgization filetypes.

Files:
* mp-wp_genesis.vpatch
* mp-wp_genesis.vpatch.hanbot.sig

Note: this genesis was built and press-tested with phf's vtools, via its keccak head.

Previously, fresh installs of MP-WP required a fair amount of futzing¹ before comments would work.

This vpatch modifies /blog/wp-comments-post.php and the comments.php files in both themes' subdirectories such that commenting should work without any configuration requirements upon instalation, keeping MP's antispam functionality intact, naturally.

Files:
mp-wp_comments-fix.vpatch
mp-wp_comments-fix.vpatch.hanbot.sig

This patch is just shy of three weeks late, the fact of which is about as embarrassing as why: I still retain certain cockroaches. Three weeks' worth of "dude I still haven't made that patch" sessions is how long it took me to realize the only way this was getting done, by me anyway, was with a fucking pen and a sheet of paper, and writing out a "stupid" "unnecessary" graph of the problems and the attempted solutions, with their results. 'Cause I oughta be able to just do it, right? Harr.

Anyway, next up is MP's request for a mass file uploader.

1. Copy-pasting the $suffix string between one of the two included themes' comments handler and the top-level post file in the case of the "Default" theme, and modifying both said string and comment field variables when using "Classic". [↩]

If you'd like to use Mircea Popescu's modified Wordpress (as used on Trilema, here, and many blogs of the Republic), I've made a V genesis to be maintained in perpetuity, with patches shortly to come.

Available files:

* mp-wp_genesis.vpatch
* mp-wp_genesis.vpatch.hanbot.sig

Mosey over to the about page if you need my pubkey.
