If so, all purchasers of the plugin will get free updates (note that Lite users will still be limited to Twitter).

Reviews

Very Customizable

January 10, 2019
Overall, a very easy setup process. With a little PHP and CSS knowledge, customizing the final output is simple and straightforward. Customer support was quick to respond and very helpful.

Amazing support, great plugin

December 9, 2016
The developer has been absolutely amazingly helpful, whether it's something silly I did wrong, or if we have a more technical problem or need. Seriously have never had a developer so responsive. The plug-in is great. It works exactly as described, and I didn't see another product that did that, let alone well.

Excellent Plugin and GREAT support

October 17, 2016
I spent a lot of time searching for a plugin that could amalgamate a feed of social feeds. This one was by far the best I came across. The free version is just Twitter, but for a few quid you can upgrade and get feeds for Instagram and Facebook. Additionally the widget is very customisable and the support is excellent. I was being a bit of a numpty and they got things up and running in super quick time for me. Fantastic plugin. Fantastic support. Fantastic!
