WordPress Directory IndieWeb Plugins
The WordPress Plugin Directory has several IndieWeb plugins.
In general, if a plugin has been updated within the past two years, it should be compatible with the latest version of WordPress. If a plugin older than two years, it should be avoided.
Start with:
- Install the IndieWeb Plugin for WordPress
This plugin helps you establish your IndieWeb identity by extending the user profile to provide rel-me and h-card fields and optionally adding widgets to display an hcard on your sidebar.
The IndieWeb plugin also includes a bundled installer for a core set of IndieWeb-related plugins and a dashboard menu for settings of plugins you activate. Additional plugins on the extensions tab of the menu include: Wordpress Webmention Plugin, Semantic Linkbacks, WordPress Micropub Plugin, Post Kinds Plugin, Syndication Links, WordPress Bridgy Plugin, WordPress IndieAuth Plugin, WordPress Microformats2 Plugin, Simple Location, and WordPress WebSub Plugins.
Plugins by feature
Plugins are categorized by the functionality they bring to the IndieWeb WordPress community
Webmention Support
Webmentions are also part of the core IndieWeb building-blocks. They let you send and receive replies, likes, etc. directly from your site.
To add webmention support to your WordPress site:
- Install the Webmention Plugin
To further enhance webmentions:
- Also install the Semantic Linkbacks plugin. This adds support for richer comments (including the likes, reposts, favorites, RSVPs and classic mentions.
alternatives
wp-webmention-again provides an async alternative webmention sender/receiver, using WP Cron for both, but it's yet to see a stable release. It also doesn't do any comment formatting.
Kinds of Posts
WordPress supports several different ways of organizing data. To support different kinds of posts, you can try the Post Kinds Plugin.
The Post Kinds adds a taxonomy to the post type in Wordpress allow for posts to be classified as a reply/like/repost etc. This allows archives to be generated for these kinds of posts as well as support to add the appropriate markup.
Publishing to Your Site
Micropub for WordPress implements a Micropub server endpoint.
POSSE Plugins
Along with personal-domains, POSSE is one of the cornerstones of the IndieWeb. In short, instead of posting to social network silos, you post to your own site and then copy to the silos.
You can POSSE manually, but most people automate it. WordPress has many plugins that do this. A few of the most popular are found below.
Multi silo plugins
These plugins have the ability to target multiple silos simultaneously:
- Bridgy publish
- Requires proper mf2 in one's theme
- Helpful information about formatting for control of POSSE output
- POSSE destinations include Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr
- Jetpack Publicize
- This is the simplest and easiest method, but the results are very simple and don't provide as much control over what is posted compared to other options
- POSSE destinations include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Google+, and Path
- JetPack Premium also has a "Share it Again" feature for paid subscribers.
- NextScripts SNAP aka SNAP
- This has a more complicated setup and requires creating API keys for the used services, but it's both well documented with step by step instructions and allows for the most control over what is syndicated
- POSSE destinations include Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Flickr, Medium, Tumblr, and more than 20 other common social media sites
- Quickposse
- POSSE destinations include Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram
- Ashton McAllan is selfdogfooding this plugin
- IFTTT (If This, Then That)
Single silo plugins
These plugins focus on POSSE to only one target silo each:
- Tumblr Crosspostr (Tumblr only, supports rel-syndication)
- Diasposter (Diaspora* only, supports rel-syndication)
- WP-Crosspost (WordPress-to-WordPress only, supports rel-syndication)
- Medium - Official Medium Plugin. Might be worth trying.
rel-syndication
If you POSSE, it's good practice to include rel-syndication links on your WordPress posts.
The Syndication Links plugin is designed to support both manual and automatic entry of rel-syndication links. It is extensible to add support for plugins and has support from Tumblr Crosspostr, Diaposter, Medium, and WP-Crosspost, as well as having integrated support courtesy of rel-syndication plugin for SNAP, Bridgy Publish, and Social.
Also, if you are writing status updates that will be duplicated in the content share boxes in your edit post screen, there is some handy code here to autofill those share fields to save copy/pasting them from the content WYSIWYG.
If you also want to go the other direction and pull your social network posts and data back to WordPress, there are PESOS plugins too. To start, try Lifestream.
PESOS Plugins
In case POSSE is not available - for example, due to API limitations like in case of Instagram - there is always the option to pull in your data from other hosts using PESOS
- Keyring Social Importers - an impressive importer with auto-import functionality and with an easily extendable setup on top of the Keyring plugin. Currently supported networks:
- Delicious
- Flickr
- Foursquare
- Instapaper
- TripIt
- ... and anything you can build on top of this and the Keyring plugin, for example, 500px is added as a service to Keyring in a github repository.
- DsgnWrks Instagram Importer - for Instagram
- DsgnWrks Twitter Importer - for Twitter
- Ozh' Tweet Archiver - for Twitter (Separately available on GitHub with scripts .csv JSON for importing more than 3200 Tweets imposed by Twitter API; it also has a custom "Twitter" theme available; for additional support and instructions see these two blogposts: 1 2
- FeedWordPress allows one to use RSS feeds of sites to import content and display it on a WordPress site giving attribution to the original piece of content. Used in this way, it could be considered a "poor man's PESOS."
- Integromat appears to be a PESOS service, similar to IFTTT, that can be used with WordPress
Authentication
In order to use your own domain name to sign into other websites, you will want to add support for IndieAuth. This requires IndieAuth for Wordpress.
The plugin also supports web sign-in, allowing you to sign into your own site using an external endpoint.
Alternatives
Install the IndieWeb plugin to add rel-me links to your WordPress site! This will allow you to login using sites that support relmeauth.
Once you have rel-me links set up, head over to indieauth.com and sign in to test that you've set things up appropriately!
If you don't want to add a plugin, you can follow the instructions for adding social media buttons or the documentation for using text widgets. You can also add rel-me links to a custom menu by enabling the Link Relationships under Screen Options on the custom menu page.
More details for setting up rel-me links can be found at https://indieauth.com/setup.
Backfeed
Even if you're POSSEing or you're adding manual syndication urls ( for example, with Syndication Links plugin ) you probably want to pull comments and likes on the social network posts back to your site. This is called backfeed.
Some of the POSSE plugins have built-in functionality to do this for some networks.
Other options:
- Bridgy - another option is Bridgy, a service that automatically sends webmentions for activity on your POSSEd posts inside silos (before starting to use Bridgy, make sure you first install the webmention and semantic-linkbacks plugins described below).
- Keyring Reactions Importer - a generic, extendable plugin in early stage, on top of the Keyring plugin. It can auto-imports reactions for every post with syndicated links ( see readme of the plugin ) by polling, based on chained scheduled wp-cron events, so it may become heavy. Currently supported networks:
- Facebook - comments & likes
- Flickr - favorites & comments
- 500px - likes, favorites, comments - requires an additional worker for Keyring )
- Instagram - comments & likes
- ... and anything you add
Reader / follower plugins
- PressForward a relatively full featured reader that is also useful for archiving and reposting
- blogrol2email - a combined RSS and microformats reader that uses the (slightly forgotten and abandoned) Blogroll section of WordPress as source and PHP Mf2 parser from User:Waterpigs.co.uk.
- Whisperfollow for feed aggregation
- FeedWordPress or see also
- WPMUDEV Reader (requires subscription, meant for WP multi-site use)

- IndieWeb reply, repost, like, and RSVP bookmarklets
