1.9%

of downloads still active

At least 300 of 15.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    “Currently, Autoblue only works in the block editor. It uses a lot of modern WordPress components that are not available in the classic editor.”That might be true, but I am still happy with it. Because in the classic editor, my photos are shared on Bluesky exactly the way I want them. Publish the photo in WordPress et voilà, it is on Bluesky. I don’t need anything more. However, I am going to switch to the block editor (as a test) to see which good features I am missing. I also find the logging very useful.

    As title says, this is perfect. It does what it says on the tin, it has a nice clean design, and it logs! my suggestions: Pre-populate from the Excerpt if there’s nothing set for Autoblue before hitting publish use the tags as #tags Those are so small, I don’t mind doing them by hand. Great work! Keep it up!

    I used this application when I first made my Bluesky account, but then moved my Bluesky account hosting from Bluesky to Blacksky. After that happened, the application broke, but I contacted the developer and he updated the app in less than 2 days to resolve it! I can use it now and it works regardless of where your ATProtocol (Bluesky) account is hosted!

    Very nice plugin connecting Bluesky and WordPress!I have been waiting for a plugin like this.In addition to automatic posting to Bluesky, this is currently the only one that allows replies to be linked to Bluesky posts and displayed within WordPress posts.This may change the future of social networking. I look forward to future updates.

    I have tried different Bluesky auto-post plugins, but this is the first, that just works out of the box everytime. I have testet it with both post and scheduled post, and it’s a install and forget experience, because it just auto post (if selected) to Bluesky.Great work!!!
