I’ve tested this today with a new blog post on my WP site about this plugin, after
setting my WP site with this plugin. Worked like a charm, after I found out I have
to use my new domain verified bsky handle as the username in the plugin settings.
Didn’t read the instructions carefully enough. My compliments to the dev.

Dropped this in yesterday, first post fired off this morning and this plugin worked
like a charm. I was already using featured images, and the Yoast-inspired meta description
appeared below the image. I was a bit curious about what content would be pulled
over. I’d love to see categories or tags pulled across as hashtags/feed terms but
that would be icing on the cake. Thanks for pulling this together.
