Having trouble with getting the well-know endpoint work

  • Hi Matthias,

    I need some help debugging my webfinger endpoint too. Testing the endpoint (https://schoonens.nl/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:[email protected]) on WebFinger.net (clicking this link shows you the result) seems to work fine, yet within WordPress Site Health I keep on getting the message:

    Your WebFinger endpoint https://schoonens.nl/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:[email protected] does not return valid JSON for application/jrd+json.

    I have no clue how to further debug this, any clues that you can give me? I

    ’ve already tried creating the webfinger file manually (as explained elsewhere here) but that didn’t solve anything either.

    There are two things I can see so far.

    1. Your author URLs redirect to the front page, but for activitypub we need these URLs. This is mostly done by seo plugins like yoast or others. Please check the settings and disable the redirects.
    2. You seem to also have configured fed.brid.gy and brid.gy seem to win, because the WebFinger URL seems to forward to their servers. You should decide which one you want to use and disable the other one.

    I Hope this helps. Let me know if you still have issues regardless of my two points.

    Thanks Matthias, your direction helped out. The problem was some alternative that I tried before in the .htaccess file. Removing is solved the critical error on the health page.

    Searching for my account on Mastodon in Ivory is giving an error message stating that the server is having issues. Any idea on how I could debug this on the server end?

    I am not sure about how Ivory is doing things, but it works perfectly using the Web-View of Mastodon (you should see me as a follower in your list now).
