SocialEyes Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
SocialEyes is a modular social feed aggregator that displays posts from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other platforms in beautiful skin styles on your WordPress site.
Current version includes:
— Facebook integration — display posts from any Facebook Page you manage
— Masonry skin — Pinterest-style grid, 3 columns on desktop, 2 on tablet, 1 on mobile
— Light and dark themes — automatic system preference detection or force a specific theme
— Click to expand — full post modal with images and complete text
— Auto-advance — optional automatic rotation on mouseover
— Customizable via CSS variables — full control over colors and styling
SocialEyes is built with a modular architecture. Future updates will add Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, RSS feeds, and additional skins like Masonry grids and more.
How it works
- Connect your Facebook Page (requires Page ID and Access Token)
- Add the
[socialeyes]shortcode to any page or post - Posts are fetched from Facebook’s Graph API and cached for performance
- Visitors see a beautiful masonry grid of your latest posts
- Click any post to view full content in a modal
Posts are cached for 30 minutes by default (configurable in settings). SocialEyes fetches fresh posts automatically when the cache expires.
Key features
Modular architecture
— sources and skins are discovered automatically. Drop new modules into folders and they appear in the admin panel. No code changes needed.
Facebook source
— fetch posts from any Facebook Page you manage. Control image handling (prefer images, all posts, or images only) and number of posts to fetch.
Masonry skin (after Pin Interest model)
— 3 columns of posts visible on desktop, 1 on mobile. Click to expand, swipe gestures, keyboard navigation. Infinite loop for seamless browsing.
Theme system
— light and dark themes with CSS variables. Force a theme via shortcode or let users’ system preferences decide. Full customization available via CSS.
Performance optimized
— feeds are cached in WordPress transients. Configurable cache duration (5 minutes to 24 hours). AJAX loading prevents page blocking.
Clean admin panel
— tabbed interface organized by Settings, Themes, and Sources. Clear separation of concerns makes configuration intuitive.

External Services

– Request parameters (number of posts, fields to retrieve)
When data is sent:
– When the plugin fetches posts from Facebook (every 30 minutes by default, or when cache expires)
– Data is sent from your WordPress server to Facebook’s servers
– No visitor data is sent to Facebook – only your server-side credentials

– Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/
