<p>It’s aesthetically pleasing to link WordPress sites to one’s Mastodon account by adding a link in the site footer menu to one’s Mastodon profile that’s replaced with the “M” mastodon trunk/word balloon-logo.</p>
<p>Without this plugin, however, this functionality is not <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/57293#ticket" rel="nofollow ugc">expected</a> to work for any Mastodon domains until 6.2, and at that point, only the top-10-by-volume Mastodon domains.</p>
<p>This plugin allows replacing the top-100 (by user) Mastodon domains (as of plugin publication) with the Mastodon logo SVG <a href="https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/twenty-twenty-one/#add-social-icons" rel="ugc">via this mechanism</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>the text label you provide will be hidden, and an icon will be shown in its place.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3>Current Limitations</h3>
<ol>
<li>Currently only works with <a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentyone/" rel="ugc">twenty-twenty-one</a> theme and later</li>
<li>Non-top-100 domains were queried at plugin publishing time (2023-02-18) from <code>instances.social</code>: <code>'https://instances.social/api/1.0/instances/list?count=0&include_closed=true&include_down=false&sort_by=users&sort_order=desc</code></li>
</ol>
<p><a href="https://github.com/ijoseph/mastodon_social_icons" rel="nofollow ugc">I (or anyone else) can work to address these limitations if there is interest.</a></p>
<h3>Example</h3>
<p>See <a href="https://github.com/ijoseph/mastodon_social_icons#2-example" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a> for the example with screenshots inline.</p>
<h4>1. Set up Theme: Twenty Twenty-One</h4>
</p>
<h4>2 Create a Secondary Menu</h4>
</p>
<h4>3 Add custom links</h4>
</p>
<h4>4 Before</h4>
<p>
The <code>mastodon.com</code> logo is (erroneously, as it is not a true mastodon domain) is replaced by the <code>svg</code>, but a <code>mastodon.social</code> link is <em>not</em>.</p>
<h4>5 After</h4>

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>
