Invalid URL/ActivityPub Configuration Help

Hi there,

I’m getting the “WebFinger endpoint is not accessible” message on my dashboard and this is the output I receive when I look up:

teebeeart@teebeeart.me:

Request Log

21:51:11 Looking up WebFinger data for acct:teebeeart@teebeeart.me
21:51:11 GET https://teebeeart.me/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct%3Ateebeeart%40teebeeart.me
21:51:11 Error getting JRD: 404 Not Found
JSON Resource Descriptor (JRD)

null

and teebeeart@teebeeart.me/author/teebeeart:

21:36:01 Error getting JRD: parse https://teebeeart.me%2Fauthor%2Fteebeeart/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct%3Ateebeeart%40teebeeart.me%2Fauthor%2Fteebeeart: invalid URL escape "%2F"
JSON Resource Descriptor (JRD)

null

How do I address this?

My site is on a shared WordPress plan on Hostinger so the path to my endpoint file is at public_html/.well-known/acct:teebeeart@teebeeart.me.json. The file reads:

     {
       "subject" : "acct:teebeeart@teebeeart.me",
       "aliases" :
       [
         "https://teebeeart.me/author/teebeeart/"
       ],
  "links" :
  [
    {
      "rel" : "http://webfinger.net/rel/avatar",
      "type" : "image/jpeg",
      "href" : "https://teebeeart.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/teebeeart.jpg"
    },
    {
      "rel" : "http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page",
      "href" : "https://teebeeart.me/author/teebeeart/"
    }
  ]
}

And the .htaccess file for W3TC is set up like:

...
# BEGIN WTC Page Cache core
<IfModule mod_rewrite. c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule .* - [E=WTC_SSL:_ssl]

RewriteRule .* "/w-content/cache /page_enhanced/S<HTTP_HOST}

:WTC SLASH}S{ENV:WTC SSLI%{ENV
:W3TC_PREVIEW}.html%{ENV:WTC_ENC}"
[L]
</IfModule>
# END WTC Page Cache core
...

I’m pretty new to configuring servers/websites and I’ve spent the last few days going through forums trying to troubleshoot this on my own, so any suggestions are appreciated! 🙏😭
