Title: IndieBlocks Author: Jan Boddez Published: अक्टूबर 14, 2022 Last modified: जून 14, 2025 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/indieblocks.svg) # IndieBlocks By [Jan Boddez](https://profiles.wordpress.org/janboddez/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/indieblocks.0.13.3.zip) * [Details](https://mai.wordpress.org/plugins/indieblocks/#description) * [Reviews](https://mai.wordpress.org/plugins/indieblocks/#reviews) * [Installation](https://mai.wordpress.org/plugins/indieblocks/#installation) * [Development](https://mai.wordpress.org/plugins/indieblocks/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/indieblocks/) ## Description Use blocks, and, optionally, “short-form” post types to easily “IndieWebify” your WordPress site. IndieBlocks registers several blocks (Bookmark, Like, Reply, and Repost, as well as the older Context block) that take a URL and output corresponding _microformatted_ HTML. In combination with a microformats-compatible theme, these help ensure microformats clients are able to determine a post’s type. It also comes with “short-form” (Note and Like) custom post types, and a (somewhat experimental) option to add microformats to (all!) _block-based_ themes. These microformats, in combination with the Webmention protocol, allow for rich _cross-site_ conversations. IndieBlocks comes with its own Webmention implementation, but a separate plugin can be used, too. IndieBlocks also registers several “theme” blocks (Facepile, Location, Syndication, and Link Preview), to be used in “block theme” templates. ## Blocks This plugin provides 10 blocks. * Like Show your appreciation for a certain web page or post. * Context * Bookmark Bookmark and annotate web pages or posts. * Location Display a post’s location and weather metadata. * Facepile Contains the blocks to display Webmention “likes,” “reposts,” etc. as a so-called facepile. * Syndication Display syndication links. * Reply Reply to others’ (or your own) posts and pages. * Link Preview Highlight a post’s first hyperlink with a link preview card. * Repost Use the Repost block to “reblog” another (short) post verbatim while still giving credit. * Facepile Content Outputs the actual “facepile” avatars. ## Installation Upload this plugin’s ZIP file via the Plugins > Add New > “Upload Plugin” button. After activation, head over to _Settings > IndieBlocks_, and enable or disable its different features. More details can be found on [https://indieblocks.xyz/](https://indieblocks.xyz/).

While IndieBlocks does not depend on _any_ other plugin, it is compatible with, and extends, the Micropub plugin for WordPress. See [https://indieblocks.xyz/documentation/micropub-and-indieauth/](https://indieblocks.xyz/documentation/micropub-and-indieauth/) for some more information. IndieBlocks’ Facepile and Syndication blocks also aim to be compatible with, respectively, the Webmention and Syndication Links plugins. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4087ae20d8b44d9f83dbff0d4dc1635a83c35e0fb9ff27caabddf85930c89e8a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very promising plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-promising-plugin-13/)󠁿 [cybeardjm](https://profiles.wordpress.org/didierjm/) अक्टूबर 11, 2023 Stumbled on this plugin after a long day of testing Webmention, Indieweb, Bridgy and the like in the context of a fedified blog (via ActivityPub).A lot of interesting experiments, including the basic Microformats2 implementation. Waiting for the next updates! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b386c3be63ad40515532f06f0a3f8fc3c5a9c760da75708f03eff64f35cd66d4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-work-577/)󠁿 [shawfactor](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shawfactor/) सितम्बर 1, 2023 Seems to work well ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d900e13228b51bf288600df6b94215aa8dfb61012c1c00d45a3cfc2b43fb6c15? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-8642/)󠁿 [Chuck Grimmett](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cagrimmett/) जनवरी 22, 2023 This plugin works really well and is a nice block-based upgrade to the Post Kinds plugin in the main IndieWeb plugin for Likes, Notes, Replies, and Bookmarks. Great Webmention support. I like being able to add the context block anywhere, too. Currently in use on cagrimmett.com.
