• Adding this plugin adds handling for the WebFinger protocol for your existing users.

    For example, when someone searches for you on Mastodon, your server will be queried for accounts using an endpoint that looks like this:

    GET ${MASTODON_DOMAIN}/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:${MASTODON_USER}@${MASTODON_DOMAIN}

    So, if you have a WordPress blog with the URL blog.domain and that blog has a user (you can see users in the Users admin panel) named user1, then the webfinger URL for that user would be:

    blog.domain/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:user1@blog.domain

    This plugin implements handling for such requests for any user on the WordPress site without any additional configuration.
