Description

You cannot host keybase.txt on wordpress sites, they modify the url to keybase-txt. This make verification of sites difficult.

Adding a site page as keybase.txt it just ends up as keybase-txt.

example:
https://datathatisbig.com/keybase-txt/

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported WordPress behavior at https://datathatisbig.com/keybase-txt/ and compare it with the required keybase.txt URL. Investigate how Keybase verifies hosted sites and whether the issue can be addressed despite WordPress rewriting the page name. Done means verification works for WordPress-hosted sites without relying on the keybase-txt URL.
