JohnBeales I added the webmention plugin to my WordPress site, but when I send a webmention from one page to another the avatar doesn't get picked up properly. Does anyone know how I make it so that webmentions include the correct avatar data, or if the avatar comes from the receiver going and fetching it, where I need to put the data so it can be fetched?

[snarfed] JohnBeales that probably depends on your theme supporting microformats2. https://indieweb.org/WordPress#Themes
#
JohnBeales It absolutely doesn't, but it's something I'm planning on adding. I wonder if a valid h-card on my homepage would be enough, or if I should have author markup, with an h-card, with a picture/avatar element, on the post, (the sending side of the webmention).
#
[snarfed] both should work, but even for the former, you need a minimal h-card per post that points to it. https://indieweb.org/representative_h-card , https://microformats.org/wiki/representative-h-card-authoring
#
gRegor The h-card validator on https://indiewebify.me should help
#
JohnBeales Thanks, I'll set up the h-cards & do some testing.
#
gRegor * h-card and h-entry validator. Latter is probably more what you want.

JohnBeales I'm getting an HTTP 406 Not Acceptable from the indiewebify.met h-card validator. I remember this happening before too. Is there a way to debug that?
#
JohnBeales It looks like it's pretty simple PHP, I'll debug on a local install for now.
#
[snarfed] JohnBeales which page are you testing it with?
#
[snarfed] 406 usually means it's unhappy with the Content-Type you're serving

JohnBeales However... it goes through cloudflare, so it's possible cloudflare is doing something else, like returning a 403.
