Title: MF2 Feeds Author: Matthias Pfefferle Published: August 14, 2018 Last modified: December 7, 2025 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/mf2-feed/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2856054) # MF2 Feeds By [Matthias Pfefferle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pfefferle/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/mf2-feed.3.1.1.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/mf2-feed/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/mf2-feed/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/mf2-feed/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/mf2-feed/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mf2-feed/) ## Description Provides a [Microformats2 JSON](http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2-parsing)“ Feed” for every WordPress URL, and helps to allow other sites to get pre-parsed [Microformats-JSON](https://indieweb.org/jf2) even if the theme does not support Microformats2. [Microformats2](https://indieweb.org/microformats) are a key [building-block](https://indieweb.org/Category:building-blocks) of the IndieWeb, but it is very hard (if not impossible) to get Microformats2 as a core feature for all WordPress themes. There are several themes that are supporting Microformats2, but everyone should choose his prefered theme and should not be limited to use one of the [few community themes](https://indieweb.org/WordPress/Themes). After [a lot of discussions](https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-uf2/issues/30) and some different plugin approaches, we are trying to provide an alternate ([`rel=altenate`](https://indieweb.org/rel-alternate)) representation of the microformatted HTML. The plugin is inspired by the URL design of [p3k](https://github.com/aaronpk/p3k) of [@aaronpk](https://github.com/aaronpk). p3k Example: * Original: [https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/30/18/xray-updates](https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/30/18/xray-updates) * Microformats2 JSON: [https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/30/18/xray-updates.json](https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/30/18/xray-updates.json) * JF2: [https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/30/18/xray-updates.jf2](https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/30/18/xray-updates.jf2) WordPress Example: * Original: [https://notiz.blog/2013/06/18/the-rise-of-the-indieweb/](https://notiz.blog/2013/06/18/the-rise-of-the-indieweb/) * Microformats2 JSON: [https://notiz.blog/2013/06/18/the-rise-of-the-indieweb/feed/mf2](https://notiz.blog/2013/06/18/the-rise-of-the-indieweb/feed/mf2) * JF2: [https://notiz.blog/2013/06/18/the-rise-of-the-indieweb/feed/jf2](https://notiz.blog/2013/06/18/the-rise-of-the-indieweb/feed/jf2) ## Installation Follow the normal instructions for [installing WordPress plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins). ### Automatic Plugin Installation To add a WordPress Plugin using the [built-in plugin installer](https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Screens#Add_New_Plugins): 1.
