@help I've noticed that my webmentions from my self-hosted WordPress to micro.blog are no longer functioning properly. It's like they went on a little vacation or something. I'm unsure what caused this change, but it’s a new wrinkle.

Here's an example: I recently replied to a comment via my WordPress blog (you can check it out here), and I used the recommended method for webmentions to link it to the corresponding comment on micro.blog (here). Normally, this works like a charm, but this time, the reply didn't appear on the micro.blog.

Here's another example. I replied on my WordPress blog to a comment (here), and once again, the webmention didn't reach its destination on micro.blog (here).

I'm curious if something changed on the micro.blog side that could have caused this. It could also be a compatibility issue with updates to the IndieWeb plugins on my self-hosted WordPress setup, but I’ve not had any issues with this in the past.

I've grown fond of Webmentions as they allow me to connect with the community on micro.blog, so it's a bummer to see them go wonky.

@khurtwilliams I'm looking into this and it does appear there's an error on the Micro.blog side because it's hitting something unexpected. Hopefully something we can fix.
