Dizze plugin **is net hifke mei de lêste 3 grutte releases fan WordPress** . It 
kin net langer wurde ûnderhâlden of stipe en kin kompatibiliteitsproblemen hawwe
as it wurdt brûkt mei resinte ferzjes fan WordPress.

## Beskriuwing

Provides a General Settings menu option to define a rel=\”me\” in metatags for the
whole site and also individual contributors.

#### Admin verification

The plugin will add a field at the bottom of the _General Settings_ 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 _not_
accept Mastodon addresses (@user@domain.tld)

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.

#### Author verification

If an Administrator enables the “Verify Authors’ profiles” option on the _General
Settings_ page (Admin Dashboard > Settings>General Settings), a field labelled “
Mastodon URL” will be added to users’ profile pages (under “contact info”).

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 _only_. 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.

#### Plugin Development

_Simple Mastodon Verification_ 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.

## Ynstallaasje

Install the plugin from the WordPress store and enable in the Plugin menu. Configure
on the General Settings page, then on User profile pages.

_Note for WordPress.com users_
 1. Installing this plugin on WordPress.com requires
a paid subscription. 2. Configuring and enabling this plugin requires entering ‘
Classic View’ from the dashboard Screen (top right). The ‘Default View’ is Auttomatic’s
in-house UI and is not compatible with many WordPress plugin APIs.

_Note on fediverse:creator meta tags_
 Mastodon v4.3 added support for Open Graph(“
Twitter Cards”) by adopting a `<meta name="fediverse:creator"...` tag. I initially
intended to support this tag in SMV v.2 but will not be doing that. Doing so requires
implementing Open Graph support, and that takes this plugin away from the “Simple”
philosophy I promised in the name.
