Hmmm, must admit that adding the ActivityPub to a WordPress site is officially slick. First effort with our @oeglobal podcast site voices.podcast.oeglobal.org

First changed all old posts ti a new user named "voices", enabled plugin, and boom! Off the races. Follow @voices

Waiting for first post to appear

@cogdog @oeglobal @voices oh nice, do you use a podcast plugin?

I am curious, how we can make the audio more prominent!

@pfefferle @oeglobal @voices I'm honored to hear from the cook behind the plugin!

We use Blubrry PowerPress, my first test was just a post, not an episode, but getting ready to publish one ASAP. I was curious to see if an audio link is rendered in the post.

If you use the post format audio, it should set the focus on audio, but I am not sure how Blubrry is setting the audio to the post… do they use normal audio blocks?

@pfefferle @oeglobal @voices

My parent theme does not have an audio post format, but would be easy to add in my child theme.

Does not look like an audio block in source, but there is metadata in an "itemscope" div (swimming outside my tech level here) .

Have a new episode to post today will see how it federates out. Thanks

@cogdog @oeglobal @voices there is a setting in the new version that comes out next week, that tries to best format the activity based on the post format. If this setting is enabled, the activitypub plugin will add the needed post formats settings 🙂
