Description

Description

This was originally reported on core trac: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59739
and the support forum https://wordpress.org/support/topic/separate-webmention-types-from-comments/

Because it concerns feature parity between the comments block and the classic comment type filters, I am moving it here.

With the new comments template for Twenty Twenty-Three, webmentions are not properly filtered: they appear both as comment and like or repost…
Expected result: if a comment is a like/repost webmention, the comment is hidden, but the like/repost webmention is shown accordingly.
I use the Webmention plugin by Pfefferle (+ IndieWeb and Syndication Links plugins). This means one of these plugins might probably have to handle all or part of the styling/behavior.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the Twenty Twenty-Three comments template and the Webmention, IndieWeb, and Syndication Links plugins enabled, since no reproduction steps are provided. Compare the comments block behavior with the classic comment type filters; done means like/repost webmentions are hidden from comments and shown in their corresponding views.
