    Hi there,

    I created my page, spieltagsgedichte.de to have my own web presence, in accordance with my understanding of the Indie Web. Now I would like to use POSSE to post from my site to Twitter and Mastodon. I want to use brid.gy for that.

    However, brid.gy keeps saying that I need “webmention support”. I installed and activated the latest IndieWeb plugin and its extensions. I believe I have all the settings right, still no joy.

    Please can you help.

    Many thanks

    Felix

  • It appears that webmentions are enabled for your homepage, but not for individual posts. Perhaps your discussion settings (Settings << Discussion) have pingbacks/trackbacks turned off on posts? It’s been a while, but I think having these off on posts will also prevent webmentions from coming through. See: https://wordpress.com/support/comments/pingbacks/ for details about turning these on/off. Some comment related plugins may also potentially block the code snippet that allows this to work.

    When done properly you should see the following two lines in the source of your pages:

    <span><<span class="start-tag">link</span> <span class="attribute-name">rel</span>="webmention" <span class="attribute-name">href</span>="https://spieltagsgedichte.de/wp-json/webmention/1.0/endpoint" <span>/</span>> <span id="line128"></span></span>
    




    <span><<span class="start-tag">link</span> <span class="attribute-name">rel</span>="https://webmention.org/" <span class="attribute-name">href</span>="https://spieltagsgedichte.de/wp-json/webmention/1.0/endpoint" <span>/</span>></span>

    Thank you very much for your response. I really don’t know what I did, but the message from brid.gy is now gone, so we can close this.
