wordpress-activitypub: Follower requests never complete - ModSecurity off

I’ve successfully set up @blog@shkspr.mobi - it appears on the Fediverse. But people can’t follow it.

ModSecurity is set to “off” in my cPanel. As per #341 and https://blog.rac.me.uk/2022/11/10/activitypub-for-wordpress-how-to-fix-modsecurity-to-make-it-work/#adding-the-new-mod-security-rule that should fix it. But it doesn’t.

Screenshot showing ModSecurity off.

Are there any tests I can run to see what the problem is?

Site Health shows:

Author URL is not accessible ActivityPub Your author URL https://shkspr.mobi/blog/author/admin/ does not return valid JSON for application/activity+json. Please check if your hosting supports alternate Accept headers.

However, I am not using admin as the author; I’ve disabled the author in the settings and have a generic blog profile ID.

Post successful. Thanks for your quick turnaround this.

That appears to have fixed it. Going to test to see if it pushes a post.
