How plugin works
You create streams in Flow-Flow WordPress Social Stream admin and copy generated shortcodes. Then you put these shortcodes in any block on any page of your site. When social stream is shown first time, it’s got cached (takes more time for initial caching but then it’s going to show blazingly fast) and rest of visitors see this cache for cache lifetime. So for example if you have set 20 min cache and 10000 users visit your site within these 20 min, it’s only one time plugin will request API to pull data, for the rest of time users will see cached data almost instantly. Considering that server runs cache renew task in background it guarantees plugin’s amazing performance.
Design your stream
Flow-Flow provides a great design customization of your streams. Select your layout from mansory, justified or one-height grid. Build your card with help of drag&drop constructor. Style cards and the whole stream fast and easily. Even your grandmother can do!
How multiple social feeds work
First of all You’ll create multiple socials streams (the only limit is your server capacity). The magic thing is that you then add as much social feeds from one or different social networks as you want. For example, you want to include in one stream 3 Twitter accounts, 1 Instagram hashtag, 2 Pinterest boards and 5 Facebook feeds. No problem! Here is a visual scheme:
Admin panel provides clear indication of important stuff and is very convenient. You’ll easily manage your social streams from one compact list.
Filter
Filter is optional feature of Flow-Flow. If you need to use plugin with complex streams this feature could be handy.
Requirements
- Starting from 1.4 plugin requires PHP 5.6+ with mbstring (installation) and MySQL (InnoDB) with mysqli extension (installation).
- You need to have jQuery version 1.7 and above.
- Grid engine is pretty resource heavy and using latest technologies so some devices (eg. low-end or old models) can struggle displaying grid especially when being combined with another heavy scripts on page.
- The more streams you have the more powerful server you wish to have. Average server can handle 10 streams with 10 feeds in each no problem.
