SocialEyes is a modular social feed aggregator that displays posts from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other platforms in beautiful skin styles on your WordPress site.
Current version includes:
— Facebook integration — display posts from any Facebook Page you manage 
— Masonry skin — Pinterest-style grid, 3 columns on desktop, 2 on tablet, 1 on mobile 
— Light and dark themes — automatic system preference detection or force a specific theme 
— Click to expand — full post modal with images and complete text 
— Auto-advance — optional automatic rotation on mouseover 
— Customizable via CSS variables — full control over colors and styling
SocialEyes is built with a modular architecture. Future updates will add Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, RSS feeds, and additional skins like Masonry grids and more.
<h3>How it works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Connect your Facebook Page (requires Page ID and Access Token)</li>
<li>Add the <code>[socialeyes]</code> shortcode to any page or post</li>
<li>Posts are fetched from Facebook’s Graph API and cached for performance</li>
<li>Visitors see a beautiful masonry grid of your latest posts</li>
<li>Click any post to view full content in a modal</li>
</ol>
Posts are cached for 30 minutes by default (configurable in settings). SocialEyes fetches fresh posts automatically when the cache expires.
<h3>Key features</h3>
Modular architecture 
— sources and skins are discovered automatically. Drop new modules into folders and they appear in the admin panel. No code changes needed.
Facebook source 
— fetch posts from any Facebook Page you manage. Control image handling (prefer images, all posts, or images only) and number of posts to fetch.
Masonry skin (after Pin Interest model) 
— 3 columns of posts visible on desktop, 1 on mobile. Click to expand, swipe gestures, keyboard navigation. Infinite loop for seamless browsing.
Theme system 
— light and dark themes with CSS variables. Force a theme via shortcode or let users’ system preferences decide. Full customization available via CSS.
Performance optimized 
— feeds are cached in WordPress transients. Configurable cache duration (5 minutes to 24 hours). AJAX loading prevents page blocking.
Clean admin panel 
— tabbed interface organized by Settings, Themes, and Sources. Clear separation of concerns makes configuration intuitive.
<h3>Roadmap</h3>
v1.0.4 — Standalone JavaScript widget (use outside WordPress) 
v1.1 — Instagram Business integration 
v1.2 — Twitter/X integration 
v1.3 — Grid skin 
v1.4 — Multi-source feed mixing

When data is sent:

<h4>Legal Notice</h4>
This plugin displays headlines, short descriptions and images from original articles and always links back to the source. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure compliance with the terms of service of each RSS feed they aggregate.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin fetches RSS feeds from URLs configured by the site administrator. This is the core function of the plugin.
<h4>RSS Feeds</h4>
When fetching a feed, the plugin sends a standard HTTP GET request to the feed URL configured by the administrator. This request includes your server IP address and a browser user-agent string. No personal data of your site visitors is ever transmitted. Feeds are always fetched server-side, never client-side.
Feeds are fetched automatically at the interval set in the plugin settings (default: 30 minutes) and cached in your WordPress database.
The plugin ships with a few example RSS feeds for demonstration purposes only. These are all standard, publicly available RSS feeds. The administrator can remove, replace or add any feed at any time. The plugin has no affiliation with any of the default example feed sources.
<h4>Google Fonts (optional)</h4>
If the administrator selects a Google Font in the Design settings, the plugin enqueues that font from fonts.googleapis.com. This causes the visitor’s browser to connect to Google’s servers, sending the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent to Google.
To avoid this entirely, select “System default” in the typography settings — no external font resources will be loaded.
<ul>
<li>Service provider: Google LLC</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://fonts.google.com/attribution</li>
</ul>
<h4>Image Proxy (optional)</h4>
If the image proxy is enabled, the plugin fetches images from external domains and stores them in your WordPress uploads folder. This is a server-to-server request only — no visitor data is involved in this process.
