Hallo @collapsing_os 👋
the error here is, that it can’t be fixed on plugin/wordpress level, because your webserver blocks the request!
Some hosters block the .well-known URLs, because the letsencrypt settings are stored there too.
There might be one workaround:
- Copy the JSON from here https://www.henning-uhle.eu/wp-json/activitypub/1.0/webfinger?resource=acct:[email protected]
- Create a static file in the
.well-knownfolder with the namewebfinger - Copy the JSON into the file
- Re-Check if the request now works
If this will not work it’s only in the hands of your hoster… sorry about that 🙁
Hhm, no change. What’s interesting is that the folder “.well-known” did not exist and I had to create it manually under the root of the blog. When calling the URL of the folder, I get:
{“code”:”rest_missing_callback_param”,”message”:”Fehlende(r) Parameter: resource”,”data”:{“status”:400,”params”:[“resource”]}}
Seems as if something is missing. I doubt your last sentence explains it unfortunately.
Seems to work fine: https://www.henning-uhle.eu/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:[email protected]
It’s funny, because now that you created the URL manually, it seems to forward the request to the API… this is weird 😂
really? Strange Situation
but, you seem to use the same name for the blog and an author and that does not work (I added a check in version 1.0.2, that this does not happen any more). Please rename the Blogs User or disable the Authors and only use the Blogs User.
Done. But I am very happy that it finally works. The manual creation of “.well-known” plus the webfinger file did the Trick.
Thabk you very much.
