[Kupietz] Has anyone got a shortcut for syndicating WP posts to Bridgy Fed without having to manually add the `<a class="u-bridgy-fed" href="https://fed.brid.gy/" hidden="from-humans"></a>` to every post? Right now I have the webmentions plugin, and I wrote a shortcode to give me that <a> so I don't have to remember it, but the webmentions plugin doesn't send mentions to links included via shortcode, only ones included explicitly in
#
[Kupietz] the unprocessed content body. So now every time I post, I'm like, _"What was that URL I need to include in the post again"?_

[snarfed] I do this:
#
[snarfed] ?>
#
[snarfed] ```function bridgy_fed_as2_link( ) {
#
[snarfed] if ( is_single() && get_post_type() == 'post' ) {
#
[snarfed] <link rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json" href="https://fed.brid.gy/r/<?php the_permalink(); ?>" />
#
[snarfed] <?php
#
[snarfed] }
#
[snarfed] }
#
[snarfed] add_action( 'wp_head', 'bridgy_fed_as2_link' );```
#
[snarfed] ...which also gets me https://fed.brid.gy/docs#web-searchable

#
[Kupietz] [snarfed] Adding the link as part of the output via PHP will work when including it via a shortcode doesn't? Are you using this with the webmentions plugin?
#
[Kupietz] The problem I'm having is not have the page set up so BF can see it after receiving the webmention, it's sending the webmention.
