Flow-Flow Social Streams
What it is
Flow-Flow Social Streams combines posts from multiple sources into social media walls embedded on WordPress websites or blogs. Listed feeds include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WordPress, Pinterest, SoundCloud, Tumblr, Foursquare, Dribbble, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, and RSS. Users can customize colors, card width, margins, templates, and other feed elements. Visitors can share posts, filter by network, search live, open items in a lightbox, and load more content. The plugin supports responsive layouts and swipe motion for mobile sliding. Flow-Flow describes server caching for feed data and image caching that calculates image sizes on the server. Posts can be excluded by word, username, or URL, while pre-moderation is listed as a Pro feature. The free WordPress version includes four sources and a masonry layout. The WordPress Pro version costs $49 once and includes 14 sources and multiple layouts. Stream capacity depends on server specifications.
