Tried again after rebuilding the EC2 server and it is no longer hanging.

Apparently this had something to do with the Cloudflare cache. I turned on development mode and was able to sign in.

That helped. There is a customizer setting called “enable multi-author mode” which worked to add the correct author URL.

Thanks!

Ah ha. That was it. I’m using the Independent Publisher theme which appears to be modifying that. I switched to Automattic’s Twenty Twenty theme and it is now working in Mastodon, so I’ll have to adjust that filter in my child theme. Thank you!

if ( ! function_exists( 'independent_publisher_single_author_link' ) ) :
	/**
	 * Returns the author link; defaults to home page when not using multi-author mode
	 */
	function independent_publisher_single_author_link() {
		return get_home_url();
	}
endif;

That’s an interesting observation about the author URL. Do you know where that value comes from in the webfinger tool, or do I need to reach out to the WordPress folks?

Thanks,
Mike

I disabled all plugins except for ActivityPub with no effect. But… now I’m wondering if Cloudflare might have something to do with it. I originally saw entries in my nginx access log from an IP with “Mastodon” in the user agent, so I didn’t think Cloudflare was blocking anything, but now I’m not sure about that. I just switched Cloudflare from “proxied” to “DNS only” and now Mastodon is showing “503 data could not be fetched”, so I’m going to have to experiment with Cloudflare settings a bit more.

I don’t currently, although I did have it installed years ago and I’m still on the same database… so maybe it left some data behind when I uninstalled it.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks!

I’ll do that. Thanks.

Seconding this. Doesn’t work in Safari or Chrome. JS is enabled in both. I’ve used this feature previously, so it did work up to the latest update.

php-xml fixed it.

Thanks.

It is. It’s running on EC2 (Amazon Linux). I removed the user from the group and applied the S3 full administrator policy, but still the same result. Here is the entry in the Apache error_log:

PHP Fatal error: Class 'XMLWriter' not found in /var/www/mikedunn.me/wp-content/plugins/amazon-web-services/vendor/aws/Guzzle/Service/Command/LocationVisitor/Request/XmlVisitor.php on line 198

Looks like 0.2.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks. I’m just allowing full S3 access to the user’s group:

{
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "s3:*",
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}

Still an issue in the latest version. Anyone else able to delete images from the Media Library?
