Three cache keys now carry the plugin's full prefix, and the bundled Italian translation moves to translate.wordpress.org. No setting is affected.<\/p>","1.15.7":"
Fixes a real default: on a fresh install, boosts and image previews were switched off although they are documented as on. Existing installs are not affected.<\/p>","1.15.6":"
Documentation only: dead and placeholder links in the readme have been corrected, and the plugin is now tested up to WordPress 7.1.2.<\/p>","1.15.5":"
The compatibility header now declares the current WordPress release, so the "not tested with your version" warning goes away.

EG Social Timeline aggregates in chronological order your public posts from eight sources and displays them in a single timeline via shortcode.<\/p>\n\n
Every platform is configured the same way: the instance URL plus your username. Bluesky is the exception, because its public API lives at a single address for everyone.<\/p>\n\n
Configure the profiles in the settings, then insert the shortcode:<\/p>\n\n
[eg_social_timeline]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nWith a custom limit:<\/p>\n\n
[eg_social_timeline limit=\"20\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nPrivacy<\/h4>\n\n\n- Retrieves only public posts from the configured platforms<\/li>\n
- No user tracking<\/li>\n
- No data sent to third parties<\/li>\n
- Local cache in the WordPress database<\/li>\n
- No cookies set by the plugin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
External services<\/h3>\n\n
This plugin connects only to the platforms and feeds the administrator explicitly configures in the settings, one section per source below. No external service is contacted until at least one source has been filled in. All requests are HTTP GET requests for public content; no user credentials are ever sent.<\/p>\n\n
Contacted services are cached locally for a configurable duration (30 minutes to 24 hours, default value depends on the admin setting) to minimize external traffic.<\/p>\n\n

Minimum configuration<\/h4>\n\n\n- Mastodon, Pleroma or Akkoma: instance URL + username (e.g. https:\/\/mastodon.uno + username)<\/li>\n
- OR Lemmy: instance URL + username (e.g. https:\/\/diggita.com + username)<\/li>\n
- OR Pixelfed: instance URL + username (e.g. https:\/\/pixelfed.uno + yourname)<\/li>\n
- OR PeerTube: instance URL + account or channel (e.g. https:\/\/peertube.uno + yourname)<\/li>\n
- OR Forgejo\/Gitea: instance URL + username<\/li>\n
- OR Bluesky: handle alone (e.g. emanuele.bsky.social)<\/li>\n
- OR ListenBrainz: username (the API URL is already filled in)<\/li>\n
- OR an RSS\/Atom feed: the feed address, with an optional label<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
You can also paste the full profile address into either field and the plugin splits it: https:\/\/lemmy.example\/u\/username<\/code>, https:\/\/mastodon.example\/@name<\/code>, https:\/\/peertube.example\/c\/name@host.example\/videos<\/code>, https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/name.bsky.social<\/code>.<\/p>\n\nAdvanced configuration<\/h4>\n\n\n- Per-platform post limits (avoids one platform monopolizing the timeline)<\/li>\n
- Image previews where the source carries one: Mastodon, Bluesky, Pixelfed, PeerTube thumbnails and images found in a feed<\/li>\n
- Text length for each post (50-600 characters, 0 = full text)<\/li>\n
- Include or exclude boosts and reposts<\/li>\n
- Show or hide interaction stats<\/li>\n
- Cache duration from 30 minutes to 24 hours<\/li>\n
- Timeline background: transparent (default), neutral preset, follow the visitor browser, or a custom color<\/li>\n
- Card background: neutral preset (default), transparent, follow the visitor browser, or a custom color<\/li>\n
- Platform icon style: platform colors, or a single color taken from the post text<\/li>\n
- Filter bar style: full (icon, name and count) or compact (icons only, name and count in the tooltip)<\/li>\n
- Per-source display options: boosts, statistics, image previews and text length are set inside each platform's own box, and only where they have an effect<\/li>\n
- Text, borders, badges, links and icons are not configured: they are derived from the contrast of the background you choose, and switch to their light variants on a dark surface<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\nWhich platforms are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\nMastodon, Pleroma, Akkoma, Bluesky, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Forgejo\/Gitea, Lemmy (any instance), ListenBrainz, and any RSS or Atom feed.<\/p><\/dd>\n
My PeerTube videos are not showing up.<\/h3><\/dt>\nOn PeerTube videos almost always live in a channel<\/strong>, not directly in the account, and the two use different API endpoints. Paste the full address of your channel and the plugin sorts it out: \/c\/name<\/code> is a channel, \/a\/name<\/code> an account. If you only type a name, both are tried and the answer is remembered.<\/p>\n\nA second detail: a channel belongs to the instance that hosts it. An address like https:\/\/peertube.example\/c\/name@origin.example\/videos<\/code> means the channel lives on origin.example<\/code> and peertube.example<\/code> only federates it \u2014 the plugin then queries the origin, which does not depend on the state of federation.<\/p><\/dd>\n
