The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the ActivityStreams 2.0 data format.
|
|
|
|
== Description ==
|
|
|
|
This is **BETA** software, see the FAQ to see the current feature set or rather what is still planned.
|
|
|
|
The plugin implements the ActivityPub protocol for your blog. Your readers will be able to follow your blogposts on Mastodon and other federated platforms that support ActivityPub.
|
|
|
|
The plugin works with the following federated platforms:
|
|
|
|
* [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/)
|
|
* [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/)
|
|
* [Friendica](https://friendi.ca/)
|
|
* [HubZilla](https://hubzilla.org/)
|
|
* [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org/)
|
|
* [SocialHome](https://socialhome.network/)
|
|
* [Misskey](https://join.misskey.page/)

= What is "ActivityPub for WordPress" =
|
|
|
|
*ActivityPub for WordPress* extends WordPress with some Fediverse features, but it does not compete with platforms like Friendica or Mastodon. If you want to run a **decentralized social network**, please use [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/) or [GNU social](https://gnu.io/social/).
|
|
|
|
= What are the differences between this plugin and Pterotype? =
|
|
|
|
**Compatibility**
|
|
|
|
*ActivityPub for WordPress* is compatible with OStatus and IndieWeb plugin suites. *Pterotype* is incompatible with the standalone [WebFinger plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/webfinger/), so it can't be run together with OStatus.
|
|
|
|
**Custom tables**
|
|
|
|
*Pterotype* creates/uses a bunch of custom tables, *ActivityPub for WordPress* only uses the native tables and adds as little meta data as possible.
|
|
|
|
= What if you are running your blog in a subdirectory? =
|
|
|
|
In order for webfinger to work, it must be mapped to the root directory of the URL on which your blog resides.
|
|
|
|
**Apache**
|
|
|
|
Add the following to the .htaccess file in the root directory:
|
|
|
|
RedirectMatch "^\/\.well-known(.*)$" "\/blog\/\.well-known$1"
|
|
|
|
Where 'blog' is the path to the subdirectory at which your blog resides.
|
|
|
|
**Nginx**
|
|
|
|
Add the following to the site.conf in sites-available:
|
|
|
|
location ~* /.well-known {
|
|
allow all;
|
|
try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/?$args;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Where 'blog' is the path to the subdirectory at which your blog resides.

|
|
|
|
* If you wish to control the placement and the process of installing a WordPress Plugin.
|
|
* If your server does not permit automatic installation of a WordPress Plugin.
|
|
* If you want to try the [latest development version](https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-activitypub).
|
|
|
|
Installation of a WordPress Plugin manually requires FTP familiarity and the awareness that you may put your site at risk if you install a WordPress Plugin incompatible with the current version or from an unreliable source.
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
* Download your WordPress Plugin to your desktop.

|
|
* Download from [GitHub](https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-activitypub/releases)

|
|
* Go to [Plugins screen](https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Screens#Plugins) and find the newly uploaded Plugin in the list.
|
|
* Click **Activate** to activate it.
