Push single post

Thanks for this plugin. It is very nice.

However, yesterday, the plugin disconnected, and a scheduled post published, which then didn’t get pushed to the PDS.

I tried opening and saving the post again, and reverting to draft and back to publish, but no cigar. It didn’t get pushed in any way, as the text in the metabox seems to suggest.

A way of manually pushing a single post to ATproto is missing, in the metabox, in the quick-edit interface, or wp-cli, wherever, as long as it’s there.

In the end, I used backfill, which spammed my followers with ten posts, which were luckily the most recent, so it is on {Blue,Euro,Black}Sky now.

I have WP7 and ATmosphere 1.1.1.

Hey @seindal 👋

Good point! Would you expect something in the wp-admin UI or is a WP-CLI version also fine!?

Thanks for your feedback!

(I will also check why your blog lost connection… This should not happen at a publishing process!)

I run self-hosted, so I have full access – wp-cli is fine with me.

I think it happened because I copied the production database to a test server, and forgot to deactivate the plugin before I opened the test-setup in a browser.

I improved the connection handling in 1.1.1 and had no disconnect since then! Can you check if that version fixed your issue too?

I am having the exact same problem using version 2.1.0 of the plugin.

The connection to bluesky expired, a post was published, and after reconnection, it is impossible to repost the old post.

Could you perhaps let us know how often we need to reconnect to bluesky?

Hey @mrakw 👋

The plan is that you shouldn’t need to reconnect at all. However, depending on how your blog is configured, particularly how WP-Cron is triggered and how much traffic the site receives, the renewal window could occasionally be missed.

The plugin will let you know when you log in if the session has expired. I can also add a reminder in the editor.

I am running this via crontab as www-data every fifteen minutes
```
15 * * * * cd /var/www/wordpress && wp cron event run --due-now --allow-root > /dev/null 2>&1
```
I was told to use the above when your site doesn’t get too much traffic. If you have any other suggestions on how to better configure WP so this doesn’t happen again, please let me know!

That should be fine already. How often do you have to reconnect?

This is the first time since I switched from Bluesky autoposter to ATmosphere about three weeks ago. I’ll follow this more closely from now on.

@mrakw thanks! Please let us know if it gets out of hand, we are constantly improving the plugin!

Btw.: 15 * * * * fires once an hour at minute 15, not every fifteen minutes. If you want to run it every 15 mins, you should use */15 * * * *.

But even every hour should be fine!
