@BipolarArtist
Just to make sure. You dropped to code into your website but when you use the live link on your site to link back to coso it doesnt bring you back?
Does the link buffer? Do you get an error code?
Before you answer, 1 common issue is not copying full code. Did you make sure that you copied everything in the box by using short keys rather than mouse?
Not trying to insult your skill, its just a common error and im going down the list of possible trouble shooting steps.
This is the mobile version of the landing page. The link from your website will take folks to a viewing page outside of coso that sort of looks like this (without the edit profile button). If you're on mobile it takes you back inside to coso not the landing page. On desktop it does take you to the personal landing page
@Bliss @BipolarArtist
Got ya. So there should be an indication on our profile that it's working.
Everything is fine from my perspective. It takes me to your landing page. This is what non-coso folks and coso desktop subscribers will see when they click on your website link. You're good.
BTW, beautiful artwork on your landing page.
@BipolarArtist @Jeber I on't know what green check you're referring to. I don't have a green check either on my landing page if that's where its supposed to be. Is that something indicated in the user guide?
@BipolarArtist @Jeber I see what you mean. I'm going to tag @phase and @MrGoat so they can let you know about the checkmarks next to the pro subscriber names/handles.
Glad at least we were able to fix your webpage. I subscribed to your site because you do beautiful work.
@Bliss @BipolarArtist @phase @MrGoat
Got them all fixed up except Medium. It doesn't seem to like HTML.
@Jeber, nicely done. How/where did you add it to those pages?
@BipolarArtist If you can't change the code then you do not own the site ? @Jeber
@BipolarArtist You should be able to edit in code view as well as a GUI view. >.> @Jeber
@BipolarArtist With any web builder there should be the option to see the code and edit that way. I can't remember one that didn't allow me to do so. I've used wix and other things like angelfire in the past. @Jeber
@MrGoat this is what I have already done. If you check out my website https://damienkanerigden.com at the bottom is this href link to counter social. That was added using the method in this instruction.
@BipolarArtist Your link need to be like this
<a rel="me" href="https://counter.social.com/@BiPolarArtist">notex or text doesnt matter</a>
@BipolarArtist copy from < to > and paste in place of your current link.
@BipolarArtist it should work as so
@MrGoat ok, bummer. Well at least I did it right but it would be nice if it worked.
@MrGoat I do really appreciate you trying to help me with this though!
@BipolarArtist I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Maybe try to put it in the header if you can. It can be hidden from view
@MrGoat I can’t put it in the header, only in between body tags. The code is on my website still but there is no text in the link so you can’t see it. I thought it may be that I needed to delete the website from my profile and reload it, but that didn’t work either. I did everything on that mastodon post you sent but no luck still.
@BipolarArtist Hmm @th3j35t3r might be able to quickly throw a chime in on it.
Trouble with REL=ME on his website.
Damien, I will be looking into this for you. 👍
@th3j35t3r @MrGoat thank you so much! I tried to figure it out without bothering you, but I appreciate the help.
@MrGoat @th3j35t3r hahaha damn straight
@BipolarArtist This for mastodon but should be the same for here as well or any other place as far as REL=ME goes. https://opensource.com/article/22/11/verified-mastodon-website
@MrGoat @BipolarArtist
Good point. I wasn’t thinking about ownership. That makes perfect sense. Thanks.
@BipolarArtist You could put the rel link in an image >.> @Jeber
@BipolarArtist You can make a page called VerifyRELME.html and use that with only that line of code make it hidden page. @Jeber
@MrGoat @Jeber ok thanks. Unfortunately I can’t directly change the html of the website. I am guessing that when I add the snippet it is getting buried in another level and not neatly in the “body” tag.
