Webmentions not working

I think this may be an issue with threaded replies on WordPress? Here’s what I’m seeing when looking at your blog and the webmention that Micro.blog receives:

  • Your reply is to another reply from @numericcitizen.
  • The u-in-reply-to is correctly set to the URL you’re replying to.
  • But the webmention target is not the same URL. It’s set to the root post.

So when Micro.blog tries to verify that the webmention contains the expected link, the check fails and the webmention is ignored. This seems like a bug in WordPress, not Micro.blog, unless I’m missing something. (It is a lot to unravel.)
