BlueFeed

Опис

BlueFeed lets you embed your Bluesky (AT Protocol) feed anywhere on your WordPress site using the [bluefeed] shortcode. Choose from four beautiful layouts:

• Classic – A familiar social-media timeline look
• Cards – A responsive card grid, great for visual content
• Compact – A minimal, space-efficient list view
• Images – An Instagram-style square image grid showing only posts with images, with hover overlays for likes and comments

Features

• 4 layout styles (classic, cards, compact, images)
• Configurable column count for grid layouts
• Profile header with avatar, banner, bio, and stats
• Follow button linking to the Bluesky profile
• Automatic caching with configurable duration for fast page loads
• Stale-cache fallback — serves cached content if the API is temporarily unreachable
• Clickable links and @mentions auto-linked
• Repost indicators on classic layout
• Color customization via admin settings or per-shortcode attributes
• Test Connection button in admin to diagnose API connectivity
• Compatible with page builders (Breakdance, Elementor, Beaver Builder, etc.)
• Responsive design for all screen sizes
• Works with the public Bluesky API — no authentication required

External services

This plugin connects to the Bluesky public API to retrieve and display Bluesky social media content on your WordPress site. It is required for all plugin functionality — without it, no feed or profile data can be displayed.

What data is sent and when

• Profile requests – When a page containing the [bluefeed] shortcode is loaded, the plugin sends the configured Bluesky handle to the endpoint https://public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsky.actor.getProfile to retrieve the user’s profile information (display name, avatar, banner, bio, and follower/following/post counts).
• Feed requests – On the same page load, the plugin sends the Bluesky handle along with display parameters (post count, filter type) to the endpoint https://public.api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsky.feed.getAuthorFeed to retrieve the user’s posts.

No visitor personal data, cookies, or tracking information is sent to the API. Responses are cached locally on your server (default 15 minutes, configurable) to reduce the number of external requests.
