I am eager to see custom comment types and statuses…I’ve been following those tickets since the beginning
The approve and whitelist functionality in webmentions broke. It does need to be renamed, but the issue at the moment has to be traced through execution of both plugins to figure out why it is causing issues. Since some functionality is being moved from one plugin to the other, it is waiting on that. If you update a webmention it does work, but it isn’t triggering on initial creation.
Good to hear! I’ll dig for the problem in a different way now. ?
I opened a PR on the Webmentions plugin, I’m happy to start helping with that transition and can spend some time focused on why things aren’t working as well. I’ll take a look at some of the other PRs to get a bit familiar.
I have a hope that we can do some cool newer things with comments, though I think the focus will remain on Gutenberg for the long-near-term. I’ll admit not actually diving into things to see how hacky I can get yet, but I’m reaching that point.
Help is always appreciated.
