IndieWeb

<p>The IndieWeb Plugin for WordPress helps you establish your IndieWeb identity by extending the user profile to provide <a href="https://indieweb.org/rel-me" rel="nofollow ugc">rel-me</a> and<br />
<a href="https://indieweb.org/h-card" rel="nofollow ugc">h-card</a> fields and optionally adding widgets to display this. It also includes a bundled installer for a core set of IndieWeb-related plugins. It’s<br />
meant to be a one-stop shop to help WordPress users quickly and easily join the growing <a href="https://indieweb.org" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieWeb</a> movement (see below).</p>
<p>Some of these plugins allow you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>send and receive comments, likes, reposts, and other kinds of post responses using your own site</li>
<li>allow comments on others’ sites to show up as comments on your posts</li>
<li>help make IndieWeb comments and mentions look better on your site</li>
<li>allow support for webmentions</li>
<li>add location support to your posts</li>
<li>more easily syndicate your content to other sites to take advantage of network effects and other communities while still owning all of your original content</li>
<li>link to syndicated versions of a post so that comments on your content in silos like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram can come back to your original post as comments there</li>
<li>set up a MicroPub Server to use other posting interfaces. (You could potentially use services like Instagram, Foursquare, and others to post to your WordPress site.)</li>
<li>Use your site to log into other services with <a href="https://indieweb.org/indieauth" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieAuth</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The IndieWeb</h3>
<p><strong>The <a href="https://indieweb.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieWeb</a> is a people-focused alternative to the ‘corporate web’ that allows you to be the hub of your own web presence.</strong> It’s been written about in <a href="http://www.wired.com/2013/08/indie-web/" rel="nofollow ugc">Wired</a>, <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/08/the-new-editors-of-the-internet/378983/" rel="nofollow ugc">The Atlantic</a>, <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/04/25/indiewebcamps_create_tools_for_a_new_internet.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Slate</a>, and <a href="https://gigaom.com/2014/09/03/dont-like-facebook-owning-and-controlling-your-content-use-tools-that-support-the-open-web/" rel="nofollow ugc">Gigaom</a> amongst others.</p>
<h3>The IndieWeb, like WordPress, feels that your content is yours</h3>
<p>When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.</p>
<h3>The IndieWeb is here to help you be better connected</h3>
<p>Your articles and status messages can be syndicated to all services, not just one, allowing you to engage with everyone in your social network/social graph. Even replies and likes on other services can come back to your site so they’re all in one place.</p>
<p>Interested in connecting your WordPress site to the <a href="https://indieweb.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">IndieWeb</a>? Let us help you get started.</p>


A totally unappreciated plugin

Nice job on this David. Thanks for all your hard work.

This is great

<p>The plugin turns WordPress into an IndieAuth endpoint. This can be used to act as an authentication mechanism for WordPress and its REST API, as well as an identity mechanism for other sites. It uses the URL from the profile page to identify the blog user or your author url. We recommend your site be served over https to use this.<br />
 measure then updates must be made.You can also install this plugin to enable web sign-in for your site using your domain.</p>


IndieAuth

Works perfectly! Guides you on how to setup your .htaccess too.

Easy to setup

IndieAuth is a way to allow users to use their own domain to sign into other websites and services.
