Oddbean new post about login | logout @2d6fed24 The tags I'm adding to my WordPress.com blog posts are definitely showing up on the autoshare to Mastodon.
@3d4b19d1 hmm, OK I'll have another look. I had a scheduled post get shared here earlier which had tags and an excerpt. The excerpt was used but not the tags.
@2d6fed24 Do you add the tags to the 'Share this post' box when autosharing to Mastodon?
@3d4b19d1 no, just adding tags to the scheduled post, in the tags box
@2d6fed24 That's the problem. You need to add them to the 'Share this post' box.
@3d4b19d1 yes so presumably I have to put both the excerpt AND the tags into that box, which I've already set elsewhere Which is the bit that I find frustrating as the text is already in existing fields that Wordpress can read. I shouldn't need to copy stuff between fields.
@3d4b19d1 thanks for the help though!
