What is „ActivityPub for WordPress“
-
ActivityPub for WordPress extends WordPress with some Fediverse features, but it does not compete with platforms like Friendica or Mastodon. If you want to run a decentralized social network, please use Mastodon or GNU social.
-
What are the differences between this plugin and Pterotype?
-
Compatibility
ActivityPub for WordPress is compatible with OStatus and IndieWeb plugin suites. Pterotype is incompatible with the standalone WebFinger plugin, so it can’t be run together with OStatus.
Custom tables
Pterotype creates/uses a bunch of custom tables, ActivityPub for WordPress only uses the native tables and adds as little meta data as possible.
-
What if you are running your blog in a subdirectory?
-
In order for webfinger to work, it must be mapped to the root directory of the URL on which your blog resides.
Apache
Add the following to the .htaccess file in the root directory:
RedirectMatch "^\/\.well-known(.*)$" "\/blog\/\.well-known$1"Where ‚blog‘ is the path to the subdirectory at which your blog resides.
Nginx
Add the following to the site.conf in sites-available:
location ~* /.well-known { allow all; try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/?$args; }Where ‚blog‘ is the path to the subdirectory at which your blog resides.
