<p>Add a rel=”me” link to the head of an author page, if the author has a website set in their profile.</p>
<h3>Author rel=me Link</h3>
<p>This plugin, when activated, will add a <code><link></code> to the <code><head></code> of an Author page with <code>rel="me"</code>, if that author has set a “Website” in their profile.</p>
<p>This can be useful for things like Mastodon URL verification.</p>
<h3>Example</h3>
<p>If an author has set their website to <code>https://www.example.com</code>, this plugin will add the following HTML to the <code><head></code> on their author page:</p>
<pre><code><link rel="me" href="https://social.example/@evelyn" />
</code></pre>
<p>To verify with Mastodon etc., the author would need to use the URL to their Author archive page, typically something like <code>https://www.your-site.example/author/evelyn</code>.</p>

<h3>Privacy notice</h3>
<p>When embedding a post from a fediverse server, the content of the post needs to be fetched from that server, which is then stored in your site’s database. Based on the way you configure the plugin, additional requests will be made periodically to refresh the cached data.</p>
<p>When making requests to a third party server in general, the server will receive and may record the IP address of the server hosting your website. Please consult the privacy details and terms of use of each server you are embedding content from. (Example for mastodon.social: <a href="https://mastodon.social/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">About Mastodon</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy policy</a>)</p>
<h3>Development</h3>
<p>The complete source code for this plugin, including unminified JavaScript and SCSS files, is publicly available on GitHub:</p>
<p>https://github.com/stefanbohacek/fediverse-embeds-wordpress-plugin</p>
<p>To build the plugin from source you will need Node.js (v18+) and npm. Run the following commands from the plugin root:</p>
<ol>
<li>npm install</li>
<li>npm run dev</li>
</ol>
<p>The build process uses Gulp with Browserify and Babel to bundle and minify the JavaScript files located in the src directory, and compiles SCSS to CSS. The compiled output is placed in the dist directory.</p>
