Bluesky connexion issue

Hello @christophe971 ,

Thank you so much for taking the time to open a ticket, and sorry for the inconvenience.
Let me ask or confirm what you tried:

1. you have activated the cache system for 6-hour cache, right?
2. have you tried loging-in using e-mail address at least? (I’ve checked with Bluesky Handle, it works only on their platform)
3. have you tried using the App Password system? https://bsky.app/settings/app-passwords
   it will generate a unique pass that you can use for this plugin only instead of your account password. Like that you separate your password from this unique pass, and you can kill it whenever you want.
   I also have the feeling the Bluesky system works better with it.
4. About your PS : would a “styles” section in the settings be a good feature in your opinion?

Thank you again for your time.
Have a good day!

Hi Geoffrey,
Thanks for your quick answer.
1- yes, 6 hours
2&3- yes. It was my first test, and it used to work with my account password. I also have tried the app password, but it’s not working either.
4- yes. it was a bit tricky to find all the classes, so adding styling options in the UI would definitely be easier. Here is what I added (not a developer!):

div.bluesky-social-integration-post-content-text, span.bluesky-social-integration-post-account-info-name, span.bluesky-social-integration-post-account-info-handle, span.bluesky-social-integration-post-account-info-date, p.bluesky-social-integration-external-content-title, p.bluesky-social-integration-external-content-description, p.bluesky-social-integration-external-content-url {
font-size: 10px;
line-height: 1.2em;
}

hello @christophe971

i’ve read the documentation of Bluesky for the authentication request. The rate limit is pretty low but high enough for this kind of system.

The issue comes from my code: where the cache works for everything, I didn’t think of activating it also on the authentication. ??

I’ll come with an update soon to see if it fixes the issue.

Hello @christophe971

The main issue about the connection should be fixed with the 1.1.0 soon available from your admin.
Can you double check and tell me?

For the other request, I’ve added it to my roadmap: https://github.com/users/geoffreycrofte/projects/1/views/2 and I’ll work on it next week.

Thank you for your patience and help debugging ??

PS. by updating the plugin, your custom CSS might not work anymore. Simply adding “!important” on each property should work. E.g.
font-size: 10px !important;

I needed to do that because some WordPress theme override some specifics styles by design.

Hi Geoffrey,
And many thanks for your time. I’ll definitely check it as soon as version 1.1.0 is available, and let you know.
Thanks also for the CSS tip ??

PS. Concerning the upcoming styling options, I don’t know how easy/difficult it is to have the plugin use the default font and color from the user’s theme. It could be a good start, before letting the user modify his own styling options values.

Hi Geoffrey,
1- Thanks for the new version 1.1.0. When I update it, it works, and I can display my “skeets”. But…
2- …I can’t get the new version to stay updated. Updating is working, but then, I refresh the plugin list, and yours is getting back to 1.0.1, and the BS connexion then fails again.

@christophe971 ha! ?? Looks like a WordPress issue.

Considering there is not much to set up, can you try uninstalling the plugin and re-installing it? Something might’ve happened during the update. A file missing or something like that.

Hope this fixes the issue.

Thanks!

Done. Same issue! I have checked your readme and php files. They still mention version 1.0.1!

@christophe971 apparently WordPress is still distributing the 1.0.1 instead of 1.1.0.

I’ll bump the version to 1.1.1 to force an update. Stay tuned.

Hi Geoffrey,
Thanks for V1.1.1. It is correctly updated now. Still, my issue is always there… I think I have a problem with this particular BS account. To be clear, I have two BS accounts, personal and work. The one with problems is the work’s account. I have completely uninstalled your plugin on two websites, before installing again. Then:

• On this website, I still can’t get to connect the plugin to my BS work’s account https://lagence.bananierbleu.fr/actualite/
• On this other website (https://bananierbleu.fr/37021/gregory-privat-trio-en-tournee-avec-phoenix/), I have tried another BS account (my personal one), and it worked! Then I switched back to the other account (work), and the page keeps displaying my personal account instead of the work’s account. In the back office, I am connected, apparently to the work’s account, but not sure if this is true.

In the end, I am not sure that you can do anything about that…
Best,

Christophe

hello @christophe971

Let me investigate a little on Bluesky’s documentation. Maybe depending on the creation date of the account, the API is slightly different. Just throwing stupid ideas out of my brain ??

Be sure that if I find something, I’ll push another update.

Thanks for taking the time to investigate and sharing.
