![wp: Unexpected a Theme can break redis object cache and debug cross-posting]({"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"Photo by Polina Tankilevitch on <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-person-posting-sticky-notes-on-a-white-wall-7382397/" rel="nofollow">Pexels.com</a>","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"a person posting sticky notes on a white wall","orientation":"0"})
Ok, things seem to be working great, but when I tried to switch from SwipeWP Theme to Pen theme and remove some plugins, I got a redis error, the actual redis object server crashed and even when I rebooted, it crashed again. I’m not sure why, but beware of this, the only way back seems to be to get into the server and remove /var/www/html/wp-config/wp-object.php or to systemctl restart redis.service.
That’s the last time I’m going to change a theme in a while.
Also, I had a chance to debug cross-posting. Right now to keep things free I have:
- Buffer plugin: this cross posts to Facebook, Xitter (private only), and LinkedIn
- JetBoost Social. They allow 30 posts a month, so I dump this on Tumbler (which I never use)
- Mastodon Autopost. This is a simple plugin that posts to my Mastodon account.
I still don’t have a way to automatically cross-post to two places where I would love to:
- Medium. There doesn’t seem to be a plug-in.
- Substack. It would be nice to make an automatic newsletter. The hunt goes on.
