Description

The WordPress Social Stream aggregates posts from multiple social networks into a unified wall within WordPress, displaying posts from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and other platforms in wall, mosaic, or carousel format via shortcode or widget. Targeted at users who maintain an active presence across multiple networks and need to centralize that activity on the site, the plugin combines local feed caching and network-based filters to reduce API calls.
