Inconsistent Post Visibility
-
I love the new functionality with 2.0, but I’m still having problems with posts showing up on Bluesky inconsistently. My first standard post after enabling 2.0 cross-posted, but the second one, a shorter, “status” message, did not. I updated it to a standard post and it still didn’t publish on Bluesky.
I got a message in the post panel saying:Sharing to Bluesky failed. Update the post to try again.
<small>Failed to decrypt refresh token.</small>

The “Failed to decrypt refresh token” message means the WordPress security keys (salts) in your
wp-config.phpchanged after you connected to Bluesky, the plugin encrypts its Bluesky tokens with those keys, so when they change, the stored tokens can no longer be read. This is usually caused by a security plugin that rotates salts on a schedule (e.g. Solid Security’s “change salts” feature), or by a host/migration regeneratingwp-config.php. Could you check for that? In the meantime: disconnect and reconnect your Bluesky account on the ATmosphere settings page, sharing will work again until the next rotation. If a plugin is rotating your salts, disabling that scheduled rotation will fix it permanently. I’ll also look into showing a clearer “please reconnect” message for this case.
