<p>BlueBook Feed Sync is a professional WordPress plugin that displays your social page feed with multiple layouts, full customization, multi-feed management, and an interactive lightbox. Easy setup, fully customizable, and lightweight. Multiple layouts, interactive lightbox, video support, and multi-feed management.</p>
<h4>Multi-Feed Manager</h4>
<p>Create unlimited feeds, each with their own settings. Perfect for sites that need different feeds on different pages.</p>
<ul>
<li>Feed selector dropdown to switch between feeds</li>
<li>Create, duplicate, rename, and delete feeds</li>
<li>New feeds automatically inherit connection settings from the primary feed</li>
<li>Per-feed shortcodes with unique ID</li>
<li>Override any setting directly in the shortcode</li>
</ul>
<h4>Layouts</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>List</strong> — Single-column vertical feed (max-width 960px)</li>
<li><strong>Masonry</strong> — Pinterest-style multi-column grid</li>
<li><strong>Carousel</strong> — Multi-card horizontal slider with snap-based swipe navigation, dot indicators, and arrow buttons</li>
<li><strong>Boxed</strong> — Clean CSS Grid layout with subtle borders</li>
</ul>
<h4>Header Styles</h4>
<p><strong>Visual Header</strong> with 4 layout presets: Classic, Compact, Banner, and Clean.</p>
<p><strong>Text Header</strong> with Facebook icon and custom text.</p>
<p>Both header types support custom backgrounds (theme, solid color, gradient, transparent), page name override, show bio toggle, and bio/description override.</p>
<h4>Lightbox</h4>
<p>All posts open in a split-layout lightbox with full-size image or inline video, post text, author info, engagement stats, thumbnail strip for multi-photo galleries, arrow and swipe navigation, and keyboard support. Infinite scroll — when you reach the last loaded post, the next batch loads automatically so you can keep browsing without leaving the lightbox. Text-only posts display in a clean full-width layout instead of a split view.</p>
<h4>Video Support</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>YouTube</strong> — Auto-detected from shared links with privacy-enhanced embedding</li>
<li><strong>Facebook Videos</strong> — Thumbnail with play button, embedded via Facebook plugin</li>
</ul>
<h4>Color System</h4>
<p>Three built-in schemes (Inherit, Light, Dark) plus a full custom palette with 9 individually configurable colors.</p>
<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to external services to retrieve and display social media content. No data is sent without your explicit configuration.</p>
<h4>Facebook Graph API</h4>
<p>Used to fetch page posts, page info (name, bio, avatar, cover photo), and to verify your access token.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service: Meta Platforms, Inc.</li>
<li>Website: <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://developers.facebook.com/</a></li>
<li>Terms of Service: <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://developers.facebook.com/terms/</a></li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Data sent: your Facebook Page ID and Page Access Token. Requests are made server-side when the feed cache expires or when you click “Verify Connection” in the admin panel.</p>
<h4>Facebook CDN (Image Hosting)</h4>
<p>Profile pictures, cover photos, and post images are loaded directly from Facebook’s image servers (scontent.xx.fbcdn.net) when a page containing the feed is rendered. This means Meta can see the visitor’s IP address as soon as the page loads, before any interaction.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service: Meta Platforms, Inc.</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Facebook Video Embed</h4>
<p>When a visitor clicks play on a Facebook video, the video is embedded via an iframe from Facebook’s servers.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service: Meta Platforms, Inc.</li>
<li>Embed URL: https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php</li>
<li>Terms of Service: <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://developers.facebook.com/terms/</a></li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>YouTube</h4>
<p>On any page that displays the feed, the plugin loads the YouTube iframe API so that any YouTube videos shared in your posts can play inline. When a post actually contains a YouTube video, its thumbnail image is fetched from YouTube’s servers.</p>
<ul>
<li>Service: Google LLC</li>
<li>Website: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.youtube.com/</a></li>
<li>Terms of Service: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/t/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.youtube.com/t/terms</a></li>
<li>Privacy Policy: <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">https://policies.google.com/privacy</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The YouTube iframe API script (https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api) is loaded on pages that display the feed. Thumbnail images are fetched from https://img.youtube.com/. Video embeds use the privacy-enhanced domain https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/.</p>
<h4>Open Graph Image Recovery</h4>
<p>When a shared post has no image from the Graph API, the plugin makes a single server-side HTTP request to the post’s permalink or link target URL to extract the Open Graph (og:image) meta tag. This request is made from your web server, not from the visitor’s browser. The recovered image URL is cached for one hour.</p>
<ul>
<li>This may connect to any website linked in a shared post (e.g., facebook.com, youtube.com, or any external URL shared on the page)</li>
<li>Data sent: a standard HTTP GET request with a User-Agent header</li>
<li>No visitor data is transmitted — the request originates from the server only</li>
<li>Privacy policies of the target websites apply to their handling of these requests</li>
</ul>
