Hi, and thanks for the excellent plugin.
I have trouble getting the Instagram feed to show, though. I have created the Instagram developer app and authenticated, and added the access token as instructed. Instagram photos do not show up in the flow. Facebook and RSS feeds work just fine.
The error shown on the page is:If you see this then you're administrator and Flow-Flow got next errors from API. Please provide this info if you're doing support request. [object Object]
The flow is embedded here: http://www.fitdog.fi
Hello. We cannot open your URL, it hangs. Be sure you have latest version installed though. most likely it’s config issue.
Hello, it turned out that Instagram shut down its feed API and announced app review process beginning December 3 due to security breaches http://www.theverge.com/2015/11/17/9751574/instagram-app-developers-api-restrictions-security-privacy
So starting November 17th all newly created apps and its tokens won’t work for pulling data unless it’s approved by Instagram review team. Because they’ll start to make such reviews December 3 and most likely will experience high load we can propose to send you our own working token. Keep in mind that we will send this token to another users also and rate limits will be shared so please don’t abuse APIs and set higher number for CACHE LIFETIME
Hi I wonder if you can help me on the flow-flow plugin, I am using it to show wordpress posts as a list of recent news stories, it is working but not displaying an image, I’ve tried adding images to the main content and featured images section of the post but neither are being picked up by the plug in, ideally I’ll like it to grab the featured image if thats possible?
Hello, plugin requests featured images. It sounds like something is customized on your side of WP. Because on our test server plugin pulls post data with featured image no problem https://www.dropbox.com/s/d3zp5j485yvl8e4/Screenshot%202015-11-20%2012.37.01.png?dl=0
Here’s part of code where plugin uses standard WP functions, please troubleshoot them https://www.dropbox.com/s/qpsdcyrzg5k1uke/Screenshot%202015-11-20%2012.38.55.png?dl=0

Hello,
We are using your awesome flow flow plugin on teenvogue.parsons.edu . It is used to show photo gallery in a grid on our site.
We are facing some critical issues on our server.
First one, millions of ajax request are being sent on server due to flow flow plugin. To overcome this, we have commented line number 209 in the file flow-flow/includes/FlowFlow.php. commented code is: wp_remote_get( admin_url( ‘admin-ajax.php’ ) . ”?action=load_cache&stream_id={$stream->id}”, array( ‘timeout’ => 1 ) );
But it was causing cache issue. That is, site was showing only cached results. So again, to overcome this, we wrote a script to run above commented code once in an hour to clear cache. But still cache is not cleared and shows old results.
Please help us to show all the latest posts in the gallery.
We appreciate your help and look forward to your response.
Thanks, Dhawal Bargir, Wisdmlabs dhawal.bargir@wisdmlabs.comHi, for support enquiries please only use account that was used to purchase plugin. Thanks for understanding

Hello. This purchase code is binded to http://codecanyon.net/user/kirty user. Please use that account or ask to leave message
I really like flow flow and would like to use it on a number of sites but it is just too slow on mobile. It would be nice to include some options that would make this lighter on the hardware.
Hi, we want to improve this in future. Anyways such grids are all quite heavy so in first sight we see that some functionalities should be cut for mobiles version
Thanks for the reply. I’m going to send you an email through your contact form with some more information.
Hi, This is the error I keep getting. Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘flow\\db\\SafeMySQL: Unknown column ‘post.post_additional’ in ‘field list’.

None of my streams work since the last few updates.
Hello, we need to run manual migration. Couple updates ago plugin was broken by mistake. Please contact us via http://codecanyon.net/user/looks_awesome#contact and send your URL and admin temporary access so we can do this for you
Hello,
I´m trying to use the plugin in my page:
http://vaiterselvagem.com.br/wp/v2/And its no working.
I need to know what I´m doing wrong.
Thanks.
Instagram is not working. I’ve inserted the token.
Hi, we see error and absent token in API request. Be sure you have latest version and token inserted in correct field
Same problem, now with the token, the error is showing this message: If you see this then you’re administrator and Flow-Flow got next errors from API. Please provide this info if you’re doing support request. [object Object]
So it’s the same issue most likely. Be sure you have latest version available to see error messages. Your URL is unavailable now
I do have the latest version: 2.1.1. The link is online, again: http://vaiterselvagem.com.br/v2/
Latest version is 2.1.6, available to download
We see this error now
"error_message":"This request requires scope=public_content, but this access token is not authorized with this scope. The user must re-authorize your application with scope=public_content to be granted this permissions."
Check your token permissions
I made the update.
Now there is another error message: Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘flow\db\SafeMySQL: Unknown column ‘post.post_additional’ in ‘field list’. Full query: [SELECT post.post_id as id, post.post_type as type, post.user_nickname as nickname, post.user_screenname as screenname, post.user_pic as userpic, post.post_timestamp as system_timestamp, post.post_text as text, post.user_link as userlink, post.post_permalink as permalink, post.image_url, post.image_width, post.image_height, post.media_url, post.media_type, post.media_width, post.media_height, post.post_header, post.post_source, post.post_additional FROM vaiter_ff_posts post WHERE post.stream_id = ‘2’ AND post.creation_index <= ‘1448286428’ ORDER BY post.smart_order, post.post_timestamp DESC LIMIT 0, 20]’ in /home/selvagem/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/flow-flow/includes/db/SafeMySQL.php:628 Stack trace: #0 /home/selvagem/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/flow-flow/includes/db/SafeMySQL.php(488): flow\db\SafeMySQL->error(‘Unknown column …’) #1 /home/selvagem/public_html/wp/wp in /home/selvagem/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/flow-flow/includes/db/SafeMySQL.php on line 628
Hello. We need to run manual migration from your admin because some earlier versions were corrupted, please contact via http://codecanyon.net/user/looks_awesome#contact with your admin details
I have a problem with the ssl certificate. My hosting service, Aruba, doesn’t allow me to have a this kind of certificate because I don’t have a specific server. Is there a way to let work Instagram and Twitter without this certificate? If this is not possible, I bought this plugin uselessly.
Hello. We’re making notice about SSL on item’s page. If it doesn’t work on your current server without SSL and hosting doesn’t provide shared SSL certificate and doesn’t allow to install own certificate there is no way to stream Instagram and Twitter
Ok. Thanks.
Hello again. There is something in the fb stream. If admin of the fb page makes a post it comes in to the stream/feed but if a visitor posts it does not come. Is it the plugin or config or in FB?
Visitors posts are not counted as page posts by FB API when plugin requests page. And it seems API doesn’t have endpoints to get this
Strange because we recall it used to function. And besides we had in try another similar service as yours and there it functions.
I found solution! Altough we have in the feed a public FB PAGE it works as we want if we make in the setting the FB feed as a public group. Please check and keep it
hi, hm, we’ll check this and will recommend to others. Or just merge these types in admin in one
Hi, I have the following error on my website using flow-flow :

Hi there,
I’m receiving the following error for an instagram feed:
If you see this then you’re administrator and Flow-Flow got next errors from API. Please provide this info if you’re doing support request.
http://carb.inkserver.com.au/Hello. We’re seeing this message: “The access_token provided is invalid.” Please check your token http://flow.looks-awesome.com/docs/Setup/Authenticate_with_Instagram or how you added it
We already followed these steps, have also tried numerous times.
Hi,
I think you have to update the documentation, because there is some changes to the Instagram set up from the 17th of Nov 2015. All New Client registration is going to a Sandbox setup. Hope this is one of the reason mine is not working. Please let me know.
Thanks
Hello, OK we’ll check this. Meantime any new guides to get token should be good. Something is wrong with your current token

I got this error when tried to activate the plugin? Tried one two different sites. Any ideas ?
Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: flow\FlowFlow::$PLUGIN_SLUG in /home/hansbui/public_html/wp-content/plugins/flow-flow/includes/FlowFlow.php on line 291

Hello, we’re seeing this error
The requested URL returned error: 400 BAD REQUEST
this usually means facebook token issue. Please carefully follow http://flow.looks-awesome.com/docs/Setup/Authenticate_with_Facebook and regenerate token
2.1.4 works perfectly now. I was complaining about Flow plugin for the past month or so, but after I carefully added the feeds to my stream now it seems to work perfectly for the past few days. Until now it always had issues of updating the stream of 100+ feeds. But I removed everything (databases, files) and added it again as brand new. BUT I added around 40 feeds one after the other, then added only 1 feed at a time. So, added one, I saw the ” ! ” sign, waited for the sign to be ok, then added another one. I only added one more source after the stream was ok and had no errors. I tried to add 3 more feeds instead of 1 in the same fashion and the plugin stopped working, only worked with one stream at a time.
I managed to add back almost all my 100 feeds and I suspect is something wrong with flow plugin when you add too many sources one after the other. Maybe the database gets messed up, I have no idea. I am writing this for you guys to investigate further. Now my stream of 100 or so feeds updates from 10 to 10 minutes, no exception. Thus works so perfectly that I am afraid to not break it again

I have an important question now: how should I update this plugin? Should I remove the files via FTP and add the new files? Should I deactivate the plugin first?
great! It sounds like you experienced old versions legacy issues or now you configured everything correct
You can update like you want via FTP or via WP. Contact us when you update so we can customize headers linking
Done! You have access to tvpmagazine.com to make the change.s Thank you in advance! Also for some reasons I dont see the cron job for flow anymore. If you can have a look. I did absolutely nothing.
Well…..bummer. Today I saw the stream being marked as OK,did nothing to it. Wen out for about 5-6 hours, went back, the stream was OK, but I saw it not updating. for the past 5-6 hours. I added the new version of the plugin, the same. I then tried to ‘stimulate’ it by ading one word as filter to one fo the feeds. Now it has the ”!” sign for the past hours and does not update. I see no error other than “the cahche is being built….”. I deactivated the plugin, activated it again, now it loads and loads and in the admin area I see the ”!” sign.
So, I did nothing and it crashed….now I can’t do anything to make it work agai for the exact asme sources as were there 9 hours ago. Don’t know what to o next. Any advice?
WHen I previously said there is no cron job was because, I suppose, I just added the newer version and no cron job was created at the time I wrote. Now there is a cron job, but the stream still not working.
Something interrupts plugin form updating after time it sounds like. Caching issues maybe. We’ll try to troubleshoot this
maybe server can’t handle after version update the number of feeds. So you need to re-add all feeds after each update or stay on one version… So stream stopped to update after you updated plugin or before this? We’ll let you know after investigation
It stopped before updating. The flow looked ok, no error ” ! ”, but didn’t update. Now the flow has the error sign, but I see no error message to where the stream is on the page….
The only cache i have is the “PHP cache: Improve php performance with a compiled code cache (XCache). This only provides any benefit for websites using mod_php or FCGID.” Server side. I deactivated it now.
Still not working. I have no idea what to do anymore. If I remove everything like before, and painfully add all sources back again…..then what if it breaks again? What then? Do it again?
Monitoring my server live I notice that the plugin stops putting any pressure on the cpu and ram after a while. Almost like is not even asking the server to check those feeds and update. I see it doing this when I add the sources as I told you before, one by one, but after a few days I am not seeing any ‘stress’ on the server. Maybe the cron job is not executing properly when there are many sources?
OK we’ll check this. Were there any changes on server, new plugins or themes installed etc?
No. I did not install anything, it just stopped working even though there was no error sign. Then I updated the plugin via FTP and saw the ” ! ” sign, and as before it did not update. Both before and after the update fo the plugin it didn’t work, the difference was only in showing the ” ! ” sign after updating.
.
I can send you the database for our streams to test on your server if you want to. This way we make sure is not the server’s fault. Let me know.
I just purchased your plugin. I have two websites that I manage for a client. Its a parent website and a child website. I solely purchased this plugin to be able to display other WordPress posts. I don’t see any option to add URL of other WordPress website that I manage so that I can display on the parent website. Seems like this plugin does not display other Wordpress website post, just the one that the plugin is installed in. Is this correct? Or am I missing something. I don’t see detail documentation for WordPress options.
Hello, correct, it only displays posts of current site. Though we believe you can utilize RSS to stream other site’s posts.
Thanks for reply. I think this should be more clear that Wordpress feed is not for other Wordpress sites. I would not have purchased this plugin if this was clear. I tried the RSS feed and it works but it does not show the Featured image. I think RSS feed option can work for me but ONLY if the featured image is also visible. Am I missing an option to show the featured image?
Hi, try to activate Rich Text option in RSS settings. We’ll add more clearer description on item’s page
The rich text option enable did not make a difference. I cleared the cache on WordPress and browser. I tried classic and modern card theme, nothing works. Any other option to try? Here is the page, http://grassrootscommunityfoundation.org/bam-news/
It depends on RSS feed itself. I don’t see any image info here in source http://welovebam.com/feed/
Hi! Also would love the demo theme, how do I find it? Also, other WP compatible themes recommended? Seeking also instructions to set up RSS. What am I missing? Thank you! JB
Hi, we can send demo page template so your developer can integrate it into your theme. contact us via http://codecanyon.net/user/looks_awesome#contact for this Everything is pretty obvious for RSS config https://www.dropbox.com/s/mfhg9f8jknm3w6b/Screenshot%202015-11-18%2018.29.11.png?dl=0 just fill the fields. Didn’t you succeed?
Yea, sorry about that. I was fried. RSS is good to go! I’ll be in touch for the page template, thanks! JB
Any reason why this plugin would stop Backup Buddy (Backup plugin) working? It also sometimes crashes the server..is this due to caching or HTTP loopback? I got some errors regarding that the loopback.
Just wondering if it can be fixed or not..
Thanks
Hi, you should validate all your streams because errors in config or corrupted feeds can cause server overload when plugin tries to get data again and again.
Someone reported some WP_Cron conflict with Backup buddy, that plugin somehow overrides standard schedules or something.
Checked over all the streams and sometimes when saving or creating new streams the site crashes. I can only assume it’s coming from the plugin because it didn’t do it before.
The plugin is great and when it is working on the front site there is no issues, just when tweaking back-end settings and when using backup buddy.
I do know that backup buddy uses the cron for some features but not sure how I would avoid using it as it is very useful aswell.
Thanks for support again

Hi, you can try to alternate Cron job recurrence for Flowflow task and set it to default 1 hour. Eg. using Crontrol plugin
Hi, after update of the new version the plugin is not woking anymore …. tells me something like this -> Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘flow\db\SafeMySQL: Unknown column ‘post.post_additional’ in ‘field list’. Full query: [SELECT post.post_id as id, post.post_type as type, post.user_nickname as nickname, post.user_screenname as screenname, post.user_pic as userpic, post.post_timestamp as system_timestamp, post.post_text as text, post.user_link as userlink, post.post_permalink as permalink, post.image_url, post.image_width, post.image_height, post.media_url, post.media_type, post.media_width, post.media_height, post.post_header, post.post_source, post.post_additional FROM wp_ff_posts post WHERE post.stream_id = ‘1’ AND post.creation_index <= ‘1447699260’ ORDER BY post.post_timestamp DESC, post.post_id LIMIT 0, 40]’ in /var/home …... and so on ….. What to do now ??
