BLOG link in Profile does not follow WP > General > Reading > Posts Page

[stevenjaycohen]

That URL is stevenjaycohen.com/journal/

The profile URL is for the Static Front Page (which is correct for the WEBSITE link but incorrect for the BLOG link).

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Since the profile has separate links for the Website and the Blog, the Blog Link should follow WordPress's Posts Page setting.

Was wondering if these values could somehow be modified (or even deleted, may not make a lot of sense to have three links to the same site/page) and stumbled upon the activitypub_json_author_array filter.

wordpress-activitypub/templates/author-json.php

Line 81 in c809dc2

$json = \apply_filters( 'activitypub_json_author_array', $json, $author_id );

Think that means you could do something like (untested, but it's a start):

add_filter( 'activitypub_json_author_array', function( $json, $author_id ) {
  $json->attachment['blog_url']['value'] = str_replace(
    home_url( '/' ),
    esc_url( get_permalink( get_option( 'page_for_posts' ) ) ), // This should be `https://stevenjaycohen.com/journal/`.
    $json->attachment['blog_url']['value']
  );
 
  return $json;
}, 10, 2 );

Note that this would apply to all authors ... But that could be dealt with, too.

I would love to have a UI for that, so that you will be able to add links and maybe text.

BTW. it is not always the "same" link, it just looks similar in the preview.

In the first step, I add them using a filter, so you could simply remove the hook and add your own: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/pull/342/files#diff-6cc5f17bb46bd2c49daff4cedaad22399048ee7fa7dd97b3ee2dcfad390fe6d7R36

In Mastodon, there are up to 4 fields (or 2 times 4, because the labels can also be chosen) that you can fill out as you please. Would make sense to have something similar (on the settings or user profile page, for instance).

But hooks are enough for me :-)

Looks like the filter hook activitypub_json_author_array is no longer in use either?
