Simple fediverse:creator

Provides a General Settings menu option to define a fediverse:creator in metatags for the whole site and also individual contributors.

Admin fediverse:creator

The plugin will add a field at the bottom of the General Settings page (Admin Dashboard > Settings>General Settings), labelled “Site fediverse:creator”. The field should accept any valid mastodon username up to three sub-domains deep. i.e [email protected] to [email protected] The plugin does not accept Mastodon addresses (https://domain.tld/user)

When a valid username has been saved, a name="fediverse:creator" meta tag for that username will be added to the site’s metadata (between elements). When a link to the WordPress instance is posted to Mastodon, the Mastodon (should) include the username in the link profile.

Author fediverse:creator

If an Administrator turns on the “Enable Authors’ fediverse:creator” option on the General Settings page (Admin Dashboard > Settings>General Settings), a field labelled “fediverse:creator” will be added to users’ profile pages (under “contact info”).

When a valid URL has been saved, a tag containing a name="fediverse:creator" meta tag will be added to the metadata (between elements) of every pose authored by that Author. When a link to the WordPress instance is posted to Mastodon, the Mastodon (should) include the username in the link profile.

Initial commit to WP store.

1.0.4

WP standards require adding CSS to the head instead of inline. Rather than enqueue a .css containing only input:invalid{}, I have removed the style.
