I am very interested buy, can you answer this. 1. can we filter what sort of FaceBook posts from pages we want to display, lets say we only want image post to show up, but not video posts, article posts, or text posts.
2. Is there a way to filter just by Hashtag from Facebook?
2. can we have multiple facebook pages in one stream, can we do that and what is the limit?
3. I noticed on your Advertisement & Branding for Flow-Flow Social Stream demo that when i had adblocker on, there was a message asking me to turn it off, so your plugin comes with adblock detect? can i display multiple ads, and can i replace ad codes with images if i just want to promote my own stuff?
4. Lastly, what sort of resources is this plugin using when people view it. Is it using my server resources, is my site loading images from feed and stuff, is it takign lots of bandwith?
Hi,
1. currently, you can filter posts only by setting “stop-words” to exclude items with these words. We will add more filtering features to next releases.
2. No. Public Search from Facebook API is not available anymore and it is FB restriction.
3. Adblock detecting is made with some CSS tricks. You can display multiple ads and you can add custom cards with your images and texts for ads items http://i.imgur.com/UP5pr9Z.png
4. In general, using of server resources depends on your settings and number of feeds. As for images, they are served from original sources or content proxy (you can choose this in settings).

Hi. it seems my home timeline still pulls my user timeline stuff. is there an easy way to exclude my content from the stream and just show content from who I am following on twitter?
Hi,
please select “Home” option in stream settings and make sure that Twitter authentication tokens are made from an account you want to stream. Also, turn on retweets/replies http://i.imgur.com/jifATEN.png

Hi i have a weird jquery issue. When I activate the plugin jquery loads both in the header and in the footer which breaks the plugin. When I turn the plugin off my site goes back to normal and the jquery loads in the footer as it is supposed to do. Why is your plugin doing this and how can I fix it? Thanks.
I probably should have added a link. http://flintriverdev3.co.uk/festivalsinfife/social/ If you use firebug you can see that the script is loaded in both the head and the footer. But when I turn off the flow flow pugin this problem goes away.
Hello jlithgow,
please leave support enquiries from account that was used to purchase. Thanks for understanding. In short our plugin declares dependency on jQuery and jQuery should be in the head. The one you have in bottom is not added by WP itself but by other method, maybe directly in templates

Hi. Yes it was the template jquery conflicting. I didn’t realise that the plugin was getting jquery from wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js which is a different version from the version I was using for other things.
Fixed now. Thanks.
Pre-sale question: After I setup my social feeds, can this plugin output json data? I want to display all my feeds calling API through json.
Hi, yes, the plugin is using JSON for results, so you can get and parse them.
Best Regards,
Looks Awesome team
Docs & FAQ | Send us a private message | User Suggestion Form | Twitter | Facebook
Is the Json URL in the documentation on how to retrieve the data?
JSON will be available on /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=fetch_posts&stream-id=1

Demo looks great.. just one question, the feed is SEO compatible ?
Hi, streamed posts will be ignored by search engines because content is imported and showed with ajax.

My support shouldn’t be ended already, but this is saying it is?
Going to try here since it’s a seemingly broken function of the plugin (which I’ve had problems with before). Basically, I’m getting the classic API errors. I have the Pro version and use the “authorize” function from the plugin, but it’s telling me the session has expired.
“Plugin received next error from network API while requesting this feed:
Error validating access token: Session has expired on Saturday, 01-Oct-16 10:34:38 PDT. The current time is Tuesday, 04-Oct-16 14:49:42 PDT.”
I logged off and logged backed on hoping that might refresh the session, but no luck. I’d really love to make this pain-free plugin. Suggestions?
Seems to have figure itself out. Still, if you have any suggestions to prevent this from happening in the future, I’m all ears.
Hi,
this error happens usually when the token you copied is expired or you logged out from Facebook. You need to regenerate Facebook authentication and token according to guide http://social-streams.com/doc/authenticate-with-facebook/
As for second question, token will expire in two month only if not used. If your site is visited and new posts are pulled, Facebook will autoprolong token life.

Well, it definitely didn’t auto-prolong initially. I’ve been using the built in authorization from the Pro plugin; didn’t copy any tokens, so not sure what happened. Better now, though. Thank you for your response.
I’m trying to hide the post text for just one feed but the only option I see now is to hide the text for all feeds in that stream. Either I’m missing something or you guys removed that option. If you did remove it, that’s pretty lame.
But you can do it with custom CSS http://i.imgur.com/krbsRjh.png

Is there a limit on how many tweets that show up on a favorites feed?
Hi,
there are two settings for a number of posts.
1. first is sets for each feed and means how many new posts will be cached from source (1, 5, 10 or 20) and how often http://i.imgur.com/Q3L0iiJ.png
2. second sets how many items will be shown on stream page from all stream feeds (any number, but be careful) http://i.imgur.com/imA4XyG.png

When I shrink the browser it seems to resize okay but when I visit via iOS Safari it seems my second stream doesn’t show up correctly: http://convergentlabs.co/social-free-flow/
URL you sent is not working (404). Please make new test page, so we can check and help.

how can I change the color of the text in the “show more” button?
You can do it with custom CSS (go to CSS tab in stream settings). For example, to make button text red:
#ff-stream-1 .ff-loadmore-wrapper .ff-btn { color: red !important; }
Best Regards,
Looks Awesome team
Docs & FAQ | Send us a private message | User Suggestion Form | Twitter | Facebook
Thanks. How can I edit the hover over text color vs. the pre-hover over text color of the button?
Hi, it’s the same way, with CSS:
#ff-stream-1 .ff-loadmore-wrapper .ff-btn { background-color: red !important; }
#ff-stream-1 .ff-loadmore-wrapper .ff-btn:hover { background-color: green !important; }
Best Regards,
Looks Awesome team

this would change the button color but not the text color in the button on hover correct? I was hoping for the text color change code
Oops. Here is it for hovered:
#ff-stream-1 .ff-loadmore-wrapper .ff-btn:hover { color: black !important; }

Is there a way to have the “CARD COLOR FOR LINKS & NAME” be different? Would like the link to be one color and name to be another color.
#ff-stream-1 .ff-name { color: #000 !important; }

Considering purchasing. Was wondering if I post something on Twitter with a URL and Twitter pulls in an image preview of the URL, will this plugin pull that in as well or do I need to post a picture with my tweet?
Hi, it should get image attached to URL.

Right now I have a feed that imports all the tweets I favorited. Will the feed include all the tweets that I favorited?

Cheerio,
currently i’m thinking of licensing your plugin to display a social feed, mainly from instagram & facebook on my website.
Due to a recent event in a week from now, i would love to display the incoming posts (tag search) in realtime or something similar.
For example, if I’m using the classic grid, what is the update time the plugin searches the social network (IG, FB, ...) for new posts? And therefore, is the system auto-updating and display new posts at the top?
Or is this only possible by purchasing the extra boradcasting-addon. ?!
Would love to hear from you soon!
kind regards, pxlfrk
PS – How long does it take to setup the feed, esspecially for IG / FB? I though i read something about creating API credentials for both of them. Can you guess how long it takes for them to generate?
Hi, creation of feeds and authentication needs something like 10-20 minutes. As for real-time updating, yes, you need additional broadcasting extension.
Best regards, Looks Awesome team
It doesn’t have to be a real-time-update at all, an update intervall of about 5 minutes would also be okay.
So, how does that works on the normal (for example classic grid), if i used a tag search based feed selection. Are the posts displayed only updated when the page gets reloaded?
On your demo page of the broadcasting-addon, you only integrated twitter as a feed source – can i usde another feed instead?
Thanks in advance!
If you will use core plugin, it will get new posts automatically with some interval, but you will need to update page manually to see these new posts. And broadcasting addon will add new posts to the grid without manual page updating.
Best Regards,

can you prezise these intervall, or do i have the opportunity to customize this setting in the plugin-backend completely? If not, what are the limits (min / max) ?
cheerio, pxlfrk
Here are the predefined core intervals for getting new posts to cache http://i.imgur.com/kTWDrCd.png
And here is custom interval for showing new posts in broadcasting mode (requires extension) http://i.imgur.com/vYHd41M.png

Looks Awesome team
Docs & FAQ | Send us a private message | User Suggestion Form | Twitter | Facebook
is it possible to modify the plugin in any way to change the core intervals for getting new posts to cache?

Hi, sorry, we don’t have a quick solution for this task.

Hi,
i’m also open for a long solution. Is there any technical opportunity to trigger this?
To clarify once more this is customization and it’s beyond support, you will need to edit code on your own. We can’t provide instructions/solutions for massive customizations, sorry. Honestly it’s not very clear to us why default intervals are not enough, there is wide range of them. Anyway to give you direction you need to search for cache_lifetime substring in all files.

Hello,
I’ve just purchased your plugin and it’s not working at all. I’ve followed the documentation to install the plugin and it’s continuously loading the settings page. I’ve tried uploading the plugin through the FTP and through the Wordpress with no luck.
The plugin is a fresh copy, just purchased and installed it’s the latest version.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi, please contact us via Envato login and send your URL and temporary admin access so we can inspect this and help.

Hi. All things works just great. Any idea to get all posts on a page to get posted further to a FB -group or page that i own? Flow-Flow coexist with another plugin for that purpose?
Any idea to solve when FB pages have names like “Havana-Grill-Bar-186977678071855”. Those names does not works. Quick fix, please.
Hi,
if you want to make something like a full archive of your FB-posts, Flow Flow is intended for another task – to cache and show some pull of latest posts. Cache can be rebuild, so old posts will be replaced by newest.
As for FB pages names like “Havana-Grill-Bar-186977678071855”, just use the numeric part of them (186977678071855). Also, use this tool to get correct page/group ID https://lookup-id.com/
