Ok I have tried to get the new 1.0 version of the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress working, but unfortunately it still has the same bug as 10 months ago when I last tried this (ref wordpress.org/support/topic/we). @pfefferle not sure if you have any further suggestions, but it seems like WP sites hosted on Hostinger still cannot use this plugin on Mastodon :(

@ricmac I already had contacted hostinger and the last message I received was "we are working on it". sadly this is an issue that I can't solve on plugin level and WebFinger is something that is required at least from Mastodon.

Buuut... if you want to use only one account, maybe this will help with your issue: wordpress.org/support/topic/pi ?!?

@pfefferle the problem is I can't find a folder named "/.well-known/". I seem to recall having the same issue last time and that Hostinger just doesn't allow people on shared servers to access it. Anyway, thanks for looking into it!

@ricmac Can you try to create a .well-known folder inside your webroot?

@ricmac 🎉

you can now decide what identifier you would love to use... the admin (author) account or the blog account.

@pfefferle so the blog a/c would be ATricmac.orgATricmac.org ? I couldn't find that one on Mastodon.

@ricmac because you have created a static webfinger file, you have to decide how you want to be found on the fediverse and use the JSON of that identifier as content for the webfinger file.

@pfefferle ok thanks. Just one more question :) If I change "admin" in my webfinger file to "blog" then will that change my Mastodon name to blog AT ricmac.org?

@pfefferle ok after a bit of futzing around I think I have it how I want it now :) mastodon.social/@ricmac@ricmac Thanks so much for your help!
