AboutBuzz Stories Embed


As the developer of AboutBuzz Stories Embed, I wanted to make setup super simple. Just add the shortcode and your reviews show up instantly. Seeing it work smoothly on mobile was a top priority, and the play/pause and like buttons really bring the reviews to life.



We’ve put a lot of effort into fast, helpful support — happy to hear it made a difference during setup. I’m excited to keep improving the plugin based on your feedback!

<p>Web Stories for WordPress is a new plugin developed by Google. This plugin makes it easy for WordPress publishers to create content in the Google Web Stories format, enabling publishers to attract more visitors. It allows you to create full-screen, tappable, and engaging visual stories that are powered by AMP technology.</p>
<p>—</p>
<p>Web Stories plugin has an extremely easy-to-use interface that allows you to simply drag-and-drop text and images to your preferred location on the workspace. There are also multiple fully designed templates, which help you to get started quicker.</p>
<p>More info: <a href="https://amp.dev/about/stories/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://amp.dev/about/stories/</a> </p>
<p><strong>But Web Stories are a subsect of the AMP framework</strong>.</p>
<p>Meaning that, while AMP stories (Accelerated Mobile Pages stories) now called Web Stories are similar to generic HTML pages, the AMP framework clears away any custom JavaScript, the majority of CSS styling, Widgets and Plugins (including  scripts/tracking codes), thus making pages and posts load almost instantly.</p>
<p>That is why you must (re)add your tracking codes (Google, Facebook, Twitter, …) to track your audience and capture the actions people take when they interact with your Web Stories.</p>
<p>Track conversions on your Google Web Stories with Pixel for Web Stories plugin for:</p>
<p>– – Facebook pixel (+ Instagram)<br />
– – Twitter pixel<br />
– – Linkedin insight tag (PRO)<br />
– – Pinterest pixel (PRO)<br />
– – Tiktok pixel (PRO)<br />
– – Snapchat pixel (PRO)<br />
– – Yandex.Metrica analytics (PRO)</p>
<p><strong>How it works?</strong></p>
<p>The Pixel for Web Stories plugin will add your pixels and tracking codes to all your Web Stories, directly into the code, so that you can track all conversions properly from your preferred social network / search engine.</p>
