## Description

The Social Profile Exchange Protocol (SPXP) defines how independent clients and 
servers can exchange information about social profiles,
 focusing on privacy, security
and individual sovereignty. It aims to create a social media network consisting 
of independent actors rather than being controlled by a single entity.

This plugin makes your wordpress instance available via this protocol so that people
can start following your blog posts with
 any SPXP client of their liking, like 
the [Hey Folks app](https://HeyFolks.app/).

You can set the profile picture and a longer “About” text in the settings and tweak
how posts on our Blog are presented via SPXP.

This plugin is not yet available for multisite installations.

You can follow the development and contribute PRs on [GitHub](https://github.com/heyfolksapp/wordpress-hfa-spxp)

## Installation

As usual: Copy the `/hfa-spxp` folder to `/wp-content/plugins` of your wordpress
instance, activate the plugin and then adjust it to your liking on the SPXP settings
page.

Once activated, it exposes your blog via SPXP under the `/spxp` endpoint. If your
blog lives at `https://example.com/myblog`, then your SPXP profile URI would be `
https://example.com/myblog/spxp`.
