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 will 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 feed

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 To Mix Multiple Social Feeds

First of all you can have multiple socials feeds (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:

Content Filtering

Filter is optional feature of Flow-Flow. If you would like to use plugin with complex streams this feature could be handy.

Requirements

• PHP 5.6+
• jQuery version 1.7 and above. jQuery is included in WordPress by default.
• The more feeds you have the more powerful server you need. Average server can handle around 100 feeds no problem.
