I am testing some IndieWeb plugins and finally decided on how I could go about this. I am going to get the description and all of the features. From there I will test the features if I can. I don’t use the classic theme, therefore there are a few things that I won’t be able to test.

| 5 | IndieWeb Plugin | Suggestion | Suggest making the descriptions correspond. Seeing different descriptions, for a new user, could be confusing. | |||
| 6 | IndieWeb Plugin | Settings | Getting Started Page | WordPress > IndieWeb > Getting Started | Passed: The Getting Started page displayed. | As a new users, this page was a little daunting back when I first read it. I believe that some of the items that I suggest for the FAQ might be beneficial here. |
| 7 | IndieWeb Plugin | Settings | Options | WordPress > IndieWeb > Options | Passed: The settings page opened. | The title of the page is Identity Settings and not Options. The IndieWeb Plugin options page is a little confusing. I understand that it is trying to get to the point of whether the site is for multiple users or a single user. But it might be good to help the user understand why this is important. Also for users that are using a block them, the h-card information isn’t accessible, it might be good to say that. Why does the rel=me matter here? Can this additional informatino be added to the plugin’s FAQ or maybe to the settngs page? |
| 8 | IndieWeb Plugin | Feature | extending the user profile to provide rel-me fields | WordPress > Users > Profile or WordPress > Users > Edit the User | Passed: The additional fields are present. | |
| 9 | IndieWeb Plugin | Suggestion | Suggest adding to the FAQ how to get to the IndieWeb plugin Settings page. | |||
| 10 | IndieWeb Plugin | Feature | extending the user profile to provide h-card fields | Enter information in the extra fields in the User profile such as Twitter username, Mastodon link, add a photo, and description. 2. Test on Indiewebify.me using the h-card validation. | Pass: I was able to enter additional information. | |
| 11 | IndieWeb Plugin | Suggestion | Suggest adding LinkedIn as one of the social media options in the profile settings. | |||
| 12 | IndieWeb Plugin | Suggestion | Suggest adding 3 or 4 additional non-specific fields to the profiles list for additonal sites. | |||
| 13 | IndieWeb Plugin | Feature | optionally adding widgets to display h-card fields | Need Instructioins. | ||
| 14 | IndieWeb Plugin | Suggestion | Suggest adding to the FAQ the name of the widget for classic theme users and how to add. | |||
| 15 | IndieWeb Plugin | Question | If my photo is coming from Gravatar, does the widget h-card pull in that photo in a classic theme? | |||
| 16 | IndieWeb Plugin | Suggestion | Suggest adding to the FAQ a statement that the h-card widget is not available in block themes. | |||
| 17 | IndieWeb Plugin | Feature | optionally adding widgets to display rel-me fields | Need Instructions. | ||
| 18 | IndieWeb Plugin | Suggestion | Suggest adding to the FAQ how someone can use the additional profile fields in their h-card if they are not using a classic theme. I had a typo in my Github username and specifically added to my h-card. When I used IndieWebify.me it pulled both URLs. So I wonder if the information in the profile is actually being used? | |||
| 19 | IndieWeb Plugin | Feature | bundled installer for a core set of IndieWeb-related plugins. | WordPress > IndieWeb > Extensions > Install Each Plugins | Passed: Plugins installed. | Suggest adding the mf2 plugin if it benefits the users |
