No webmentions for /author/username
I've seen two examples in the wild now of people who've attempted to send me a webmention by using the standard WordPress url for my "author" account: http://boffosocko.com/author/chrisaldrich/ rather than sending a "homepage webmention" directly to http://www.boffosocko.com/.
Unfortunately, it seems that the plugin doesn't accept these (I suspect they're treated like archive mentions) and they're not received as comments anywhere within the system. Is there a way to tweak these so that they show up as homepage webmentions instead (for single author sites)? How would this be handled on multi-author sites?
I solved it by the setting in the Indieweb plugin that replaces the author post URL with the user URL. But point taken.
Also possibly related: Recent changes seem to be adding the word "Author" to the front of my displayed name on self-webmentions as well as elsewhere. I would suspect maybe a typo somewhere or possibly a missing closing tag on something? I'm not seeing anything immediately in the code for WM or SL that might be doing this though.
To my knowledge I haven't changed any direct meta data anywhere that would be causing such a change in my site to send this h-card data.
When it can't get a name, it would fall back on title tags. On an author page, that's often Author: Name
it is not that easy... to be usable the replys should show up on the author pages...
Well, my idea is that we create a 'hidden' post type to store these, as opposed to the current solution of designating a page. And then we can display them wherever we want.
we should think about how to display them first... otherwise it does not make sense to store them?!?
