<p>This WordPress plugin is super simple. It just adds something like this <code><link rel="me" href="https://your.mastodon.instance/@yourusername" /></code> to your website’s <code><head></code>.</p>


Link Verification for Mastodon

An unofficial WordPress plugin to quickly verify a link on your Mastodon profile.

OpenDNA

<p>Provides a General Settings menu option to define a rel=\”me\” in metatags for the whole site and also individual contributors.</p>
<h4>Admin verification</h4>
<p>The plugin will add a field at the bottom of the <em>General Settings</em> page (Admin Dashboard > Settings>General Settings), labelled “Verify Mastodon URL”. The field should accept any valid mastodon user URL up to three sub-domains deep. i.e. https://mastodon.social/@user to https://my.mastodon.del.icio.us/@user The plugin does <em>not</em> accept Mastodon addresses (@user@domain.tld)</p>
<p>When a valid URL has been saved, a tag containing a rel=”me” link pointing to the Mastodon user profile will be added near the top of the site’s metadata (between  elements). If a link to the WordPress instance is added as one of that user’s profile metadata, the Mastodon instance will validate the ownership of the URL and add a green “verified” banner to the URL.</p>
<h4>Author verification</h4>
<p>If an Administrator enables the “Verify Authors’ profiles” option on the <em>General Settings</em> page (Admin Dashboard > Settings>General Settings), a field labelled “Mastodon URL” will be added to users’ profile pages (under “contact info”).</p>
<p>When a valid URL has been saved, a tag containing a rel=”me” link will be added to the metadata (between  elements) on the Author’s archive page <em>only</em>. If a link to the WordPress Author archive is added as one of that’s user’s profile metadata, the Mastodon instance will validate the ownership of the URL and add a green “verified” banner to the URL.</p>
<h4>Plugin Development</h4>
<p><em>Simple Mastodon Verification</em> development is managed on GitHub, with official releases published on WordPress.org. The GitHub repo can be found at https://github.com/mckinnon/simple-mastodon-verification.</p>
