Publish your posts and pages to the AT Protocol using the standard.site lexicons.
Requirements
- PHP 8.3+
- WordPress 6.4+
Setup
- Go to Settings > Wireservice.
- Connect your AT Protocol account via the OAuth flow.
- Configure your Publication settings (name, description, icon, theme colors) and sync to AT Protocol.
- Enable Document syncing and configure how post titles, descriptions, and cover images are sourced.
How It Works
Publication
Your WordPress site is represented as a site.standard.publication record on AT Protocol. The plugin syncs site-level metadata including:
- Name — from WordPress site title, Yoast SEO, or a custom value
- Description — from WordPress tagline, Yoast SEO, or a custom value
- Icon — from WordPress site icon or a custom upload
- Theme colors — background, foreground, accent, and accent foreground. NOTE: these are used by other ATProto platforms to style your content, not on your WordPress site.
- Discoverability — opt in or out of discovery feeds. NOTE: these are used by other ATProto platforms to show your publication in algorithmic feeds, not on your WordPress site.
The plugin also serves a .well-known/site.standard.publication endpoint that returns the AT-URI of your publication record.
Documents
When document syncing is enabled, published posts and pages are automatically synced as site.standard.document records. Each document includes:
- Title and description (configurable source)
- Cover image (featured image, Yoast SEO image, or custom)
- Publication date and last-updated date
- Relative path (permalink)
- Tags and categories
- Optionally, full plain-text content
Documents are created on publish, updated on edit, and deleted when a post is trashed, deleted, or unpublished.
A <link rel="site.standard.document"> tag is added to the <head> of each synced post for verification.
Note that Wireservice does not have a content lexicon yet. This is in development.
Per-Post Overrides
A Wireservice meta box appears on the post editor, allowing per-post overrides for:
- Title source
- Description source
- Cover image source
- Whether to include full content
Yoast SEO Integration
When Yoast SEO is active, additional source options become available for both publication and document settings:
- Publication: Yoast organization name, website name, homepage meta description
- Documents: Yoast SEO title, social title, X title, meta description, social description, X description, social image, X image
Self-Hosting the OAuth Service
Wireservice authenticates with AT Protocol through an external OAuth service. By default it uses https://aip.wireservice.net, but you can run your own instance using AIP, a high-performance OAuth 2.1 authorization server with native AT Protocol integration.
Running AIP
AIP requires Rust 1.87+. To run locally:
-
Generate an OAuth signing key with
goat:goat key generate -t p256. Save the public and private keys somewhere safe. -
Clone AIP:
git clone https://github.com/graze-social/aip.git -
Setup environment variables:
EXTERNAL_BASE=https://your-domain.comdid:key:${YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY}
DPOP_NONCE_SEED=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
STORAGE_BACKEND=sqlite
ATPROTO_OAUTH_SIGNING_KEYS=OAUTH_SIGNING_KEYS=did:key:${YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY}ENABLE_CLIENT_API=true
OAUTH_SUPPORTED_SCOPES="atproto:atproto atproto:repo:site.standard.publication atproto:repo:site.standard.document
atproto:blob:*/*" -
Run AIP:
cargo run --bin aip
Or with Docker:
`
docker build -t aip .
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
// all of the above env vars here
aip
`
For production, use the postgres storage backend instead of sqlite. Depending on your hosting environment, you may need to manually set the DNS_NAMESERVERS env var so that your AIP service can resolve handles properly. (Wireservice uses 8.8.8.8,1.1.1.1).
Configuring Wireservice
Once your AIP instance is running, update the OAuth Service URL in WordPress:
- Go to Settings > Wireservice.
- Set the OAuth Service URL to your AIP instance (e.g.,
https://your-domain.com).
This is stored as the wireservice_oauth_url option and can also be set programmatically:
`
update_option(‘wireservice_oauth_url’, ‘https://your-domain.com’);
<h3>Filters</h3>
// Customize which post types are synced (default: post, page)
add_filter(‘wireservice_syncable_post_types’, function ($types) {
$types[] = ‘custom_post_type’;
return $types;
});
// Control whether a specific post should sync
add_filter(‘wireservice_should_sync_post’, function ($should_sync, $post) {
return $should_sync;
}, 10, 2);
