BlueBook Feed Sync

BlueBook Feed Sync is a professional WordPress plugin that displays your social page feed with multiple layouts, full customization, multi-feed management, and an interactive lightbox. Easy setup, fully customizable, and lightweight. Multiple layouts, interactive lightbox, video support, and multi-feed management. Multi-Feed Manager Create unlimited feeds, each with their own settings. Perfect for sites that need different feeds on different pages.

• Feed selector dropdown to switch between feeds
• Create, duplicate, rename, and delete feeds
• New feeds automatically inherit connection settings from the primary feed
• Per-feed shortcodes with unique ID
• Override any setting directly in the shortcode

Layouts

• List — Single-column vertical feed (max-width 960px)
• Masonry — Pinterest-style multi-column grid
• Carousel — Multi-card horizontal slider with snap-based swipe navigation, dot indicators, and arrow buttons
• Boxed — Clean CSS Grid layout with subtle borders

Header Styles Visual Header with 4 layout presets: Classic, Compact, Banner, and Clean. Text Header with Facebook icon and custom text. Both header types support custom backgrounds (theme, solid color, gradient, transparent), page name override, show bio toggle, and bio/description override. Lightbox All posts open in a split-layout lightbox with full-size image or inline video, post text, author info, engagement stats, thumbnail strip for multi-photo galleries, arrow and swipe navigation, and keyboard support. Video Support

• YouTube — Auto-detected from shared links with privacy-enhanced embedding
• Facebook Videos — Thumbnail with play button, embedded via Facebook plugin
