Simple Mastodon Verification

Описание

Provides a General Settings menu option to define a rel=\»me\» in metatags for the whole site and also individual contributors.

Admin verification

The plugin will add a field at the bottom of the General Settings page (Admin Dashboard > Settings>General Settings), labelled «Verify Mastodon URL». The field should accept any valid mastodon user URL up to three sub-domains deep. i.e. https://mastodon.social/@user to https://my.mastodon.del.icio.us/@user The plugin does not accept Mastodon addresses (@user@domain.tld)

When a valid URL has been saved, a tag containing a rel=»me» link pointing to the Mastodon user profile will be added near the top of the site’s metadata (between elements). If a link to the WordPress instance is added as one of that user’s profile metadata, the Mastodon instance will validate the ownership of the URL and add a green «verified» banner to the URL.

Author verification

If an Administrator enables the «Verify Authors’ profiles» option on the General Settings page (Admin Dashboard > Settings>General Settings), a field labelled «Mastodon URL» will be added to users’ profile pages (under «contact info»).

When a valid URL has been saved, a tag containing a rel=»me» link will be added to the metadata (between elements) on the Author’s archive page only. If a link to the WordPress Author archive is added as one of that’s user’s profile metadata, the Mastodon instance will validate the ownership of the URL and add a green «verified» banner to the URL.
