Webmention Issues
-
Webmentions don’t seem to be working on my website and I’m not sure why. I tried manually posting the reply links to other websites Webmention forms but get errors similar to this one.

The error means that the other side (sebastiangreger.net) can’t verify that you linked to his site. I’ve seen that you are using Wordfence on your blog… perhaps it is blocking the request from sebastiangreger.net.
The verification works like forllowing:
* you send a webmention to sebastiangreger.net to tell the site that you linked a post of it
* sebastiangreger.net crawles your site to check if you really link to itAnd this last check fails.
