All included features work without an account, payment or license and do not expire. A separately distributed Pro plugin offers additional archive and editorial features. The settings page contains an optional Pro purchase link. Free does not include the Freemius SDK, licensing code, tracking or an external plugin updater. WordPress. org supplies Free updates. StackVik is independently developed and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Substack. ### External services and privacy When you enter and save a publication address, StackVik requests its public RSS feed from Substack or that publication’s custom domain, then checks hourly. These requests transmit the web server’s IP address and ordinary HTTP request metadata to the feed provider. Article metadata is cached in WordPress. Cover images loaded by visitors transmit their IP address and normal browser request details to the publication’s image host. Article and subscribe links lead to the publication. Substack terms: https://substack.com/tos Substack privacy: https://substack.com/ privacy The optional View Pro plans button opens Freemius checkout in the user’s browser only when clicked. No site data is sent to Freemius by Free in the background. Purchases are processed on Freemius’s website under its terms and privacy policy. Freemius terms: https://freemius.com/terms/ Freemius privacy: https://freemius.com/privacy/ ### Source code and licenses All PHP, CSS and JavaScript are included in readable source form. The human-readable editor source is free/assets/js/blocks.js, which is loaded directly without compilation or minification. No build tools are required. The editor uses the libraries supplied by WordPress. There are no bundled third-party SDKs or compiled dependencies. See LICENSE.txt for GPLv2. ## Blocks This plugin provides 3 blocks. * Stackvik Feature * Stackvik Archive * StackVik Collection ## Installation 1. Install and activate StackVik. 2. Enter your public Substack publication address under Settings > StackVik and save. 3. Add the StackVik Feature block or [stackvik] shortcode to a WordPress page. 4. Choose colours, columns and the number of earlier articles in settings. The shortcode accepts columns=”1″ through columns=”4″ and show=”feature” or show =”earlier”. Existing settings from previous editions are retained. When switching to a separately installed StackVik edition, Free remains active but pauses its handlers and shows an administrator notice. Choose which edition to keep active under Plugins; neither edition is automatically deactivated. ## FAQ ### Does Free need a license or Freemius account? No. Free works without either. ### Will uninstalling delete my settings? Settings and imported listings are retained unless you opt into deletion in settings. Uploaded media is always retained. Deleting Free while another StackVik edition is active preserves its shared data. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “StackVik Articles for Substack” is open source software.
