## FAQ

### Will this work if my WordPress installation in not at website root?

Keybase.io requires a `your.domain/keybase.txt` or `your.domain/.well-known/keybase.
txt` to be present, so if your WordPress installation is under some directory, e.
g., `example.com/blog/`, then this plugin will not work for you. Of course you can
set up the server to redirect that URI, but it’s another story and I’m not providing
support for it.
