Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/lordmatt/openmention.com-patterns-for-wordpress/archive/refs/heads/main.zipOpenMentions.com-patterns-for-WordPress
A collection of simple plugins that add patterns for WebMention for use with OpenTopic sites like OpenMentions.com.
How to use
Grab the plugin files you fancy using, upload to plugins directory and activate. Your patterns should be ready to use.
Why though?
TBH, these are little more than paragraphs with a hyperlink. That is because (1) WebMention is that simple, and (2) I wanted an easier way to add OpenMentions tags on my blogs.
What is Open Mentions?
Open Mentions is a project (and website) I started with open topics for anyone to WebMention. Thus, it acts like a bit of content discovery.
So, what is OpenTopic then?
The generic version, because why should my website be the only open WebMention target?
What do I need to use to use Open Mentions?
Anything that lets you publish text on the web with a link.
You can manually ping most WebMention targets. OpenMention is no exception - copy the post URL, click the link, use the ping form.
A far better way is to just use the WebMention plugin.
