详情介绍:

Friendly Skies puts Bluesky on your WordPress site as five native blocks. Place them where you want them — in a post, a template part, a sidebar — and they render on your server as ordinary HTML. The five blocks

Post — paste a Bluesky post URL. Author, text, images, video, quote posts, link cards and engagement counts, rendered as HTML.
Feed — a stream of posts, in a List or Grid layout.
Threaded — a whole conversation, with reply indentation, a depth limit and a collapse threshold.
Profile Card — avatar, banner, bio and stats, in Full, Compact or Minimal styles.
Follow Button — a styled link to a profile, with an optional live follower count.

No account, no app password Everything above reads Bluesky's public API. There is nothing to connect and no credentials to store — no account, no app password, no key of any kind. The settings screen has one option on it: how long a response from Bluesky is reused before it is fetched again. Everything else a block does is configured on the block itself. Rendered on your server, not in your visitor's browser Every block is server-rendered and cached. Your readers load your HTML from your host. When Bluesky can't be reached, a block shows the last copy it fetched rather than an empty space. Built to be read Contrast meets WCAG AA, every control is reachable from the keyboard, animation respects prefers-reduced-motion, and all output is escaped. None of that is a paid feature.

安装:

Install through Plugins → Add Plugin, or upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
Activate it through the Plugins screen.
In a post, a page or a template, open the block inserter and search for "bluesky". Choose one of the five Friendly Skies blocks.
Give it what it asks for: a handle for the Feed, Profile Card and Follow Button blocks, or a post URL for the Post and Threaded blocks. There is nothing to connect and no account to sign in to.
Optional: Settings → Friendly Skies sets how long a response from Bluesky is reused before it is fetched again.

升级注意事项:

1.0.1 Counts of one now read in the singular. The cache duration filters take the ghostlabs_ prefix; the old names still work. 1.0.0 First release. Five blocks that show Bluesky posts, feeds, conversations, profiles and follow buttons, rendered on your server. Requires WordPress 7.1 and PHP 8.1.

常见问题:

Can Friendly Skies post my WordPress articles to Bluesky?

No. Friendly Skies reads from Bluesky and never writes to it — it has no permission to publish on your behalf and no code that could. If you want to announce your posts on Bluesky, look at Autoblue or ATmosphere, which are built for that direction.

Do I need a Bluesky account?

No. The free blocks read public data, so you can display any public account, in threaded form or as a post without connecting anything.

Does this load anything from Bluesky in my visitor's browser?

Images, yes. Scripts, no. Blocks are rendered on your server and cached, and no Bluesky script, iframe or tracking code is added to the page. The images in a block — avatars, profile banners, post photos, and link-card and video thumbnails — are shown from Bluesky's own image addresses, so your reader's browser loads those from Bluesky.

What happens when Bluesky is down?

A block shows the last copy it fetched from Bluesky, for up to a week, and stops asking Bluesky for a couple of minutes at a time, so an outage doesn't slow every page. If a block has no copy, it shows a short message in its place rather than an empty space, and a Post or Profile Card block adds a link to it on Bluesky. A Follow Button still shows, without its follower count.

Is this an official Bluesky plugin?

No. Friendly Skies is an independent plugin that uses Bluesky's public API. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bluesky.

Which layouts and sources are free?

The List and Grid layouts, showing any one Bluesky account's posts. Search, Custom Feed and Bluesky list sources, and the Masonry, Carousel, Highlight and Ticker layouts, are Pro.

I bought Pro. How do I switch?

Friendly Skies Pro is a separate plugin. Once you have bought it:

Download it from your GhostLabs account. Settings → Friendly Skies → Pro links there under Already own Friendly Skies Pro?
Upload it to your site from the Plugins screen, with the Upload Plugin button.
Activate it, then enter the license key from your receipt email on its Licenses tab.

When Friendly Skies Pro starts, it deactivates this plugin. Every block on every page keeps working through the switch, because both plugins use the same stored settings and the same cached responses. Pro sets its own cache timings, so the cache duration chosen in this plugin no longer applies. This plugin is left installed but inactive, and you can delete it whenever you like. On a multisite network, a network administrator uploads the plugin.

Does it work with my theme?

Yes. Blocks inherit your theme's typography and colours where sensible, offer light, dark and system schemes, and are styled with CSS custom properties you can override.
