impossible to verify a wordpress.com website (gratis hosting) #4265

Open stragu opened 8 years ago

Currently, the requirement to verify a Wordpress.com website is to add a keybase.txt file at xxx.wordpress.com/.well-known/keybase.txt or xxx.wordpress.com/keybase.txt.

When using the gratis hosting formula, it is not possible to do so, as there is no access to the filesystem, the file uploader does not allow for .txt format, and creating a "keybase.txt" page through the web interface corrects the url to xxx.wordpress.com/keybase-txt.

Would it be possible to additionally check for xxx.wordpress.com/keybase-txt, or even a simple xxx.wordpress.com/keybase for users maintaining a gratis Wordpress.com website?

One issue could be that HTML tags are added by default to the text when a page is created via the web interface's visual editor.

Can also confirm this - I have a professional wordpress.com subscription and it is very difficult to place a text file on my website. The best I can do is this: http://chrispinnock.com/keybase.txt but the Keybase tools won't accept this (as it is not a pure text file).
