Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about host-meta

Open https://yoursite.com/.well-known/host-meta in your browser (with your own domain). You should see a short XML file with some links. I get a "Page not found" error WordPress probably did not pick up the new address yet. Go to Settings > Permalinks and click Save Changes. Then try again. If your permalinks are set to "Plain" (addresses like ?p=123), the file can't work. Pick any other option there, for example "Post name". If it still does not work, your web server might block addresses that start with a dot (like /.well-known/). Your hosting provider can help with that.

No. Your pages, posts and theme stay the same. The plugin only adds the file.

Yes, with the host_meta filter. The data uses the JSON format (JRD), the plugin creates the XML version from it. function custom_host_meta( $host_meta ) { $host_meta['links'][] = array( 'rel' => 'lrdd', 'type' => 'application/jrd+json', 'template' => 'https://example.com/.well-known/webfinger?resource={uri}', ); return $host_meta; } add_filter( 'host_meta', 'custom_host_meta' ); For the XML version only, there are two more actions: host_meta_ns adds namespaces to the root element and host_meta_xrd adds elements right before the closing tag. Both expect you to echo your output: function custom_host_meta_ns() { echo ' xmlns:foo="https://example.com/ns"'; } add_action( 'host_meta_ns', 'custom_host_meta_ns' );
