Feedorax vs GRA4 Social Network

Feedorax gives logged-in members a familiar social experience inside your site. Drop the timeline on any page with the shortcode or the Feedorax Timeline block (great for block themes). Visitors get public member profiles at pretty URLs (/feedorax-profile/username/), while your data stays in Feedorax users, user meta, and dedicated plugin tables. A REST API powers the UI and can support custom integrations. Features: Timeline – Social feed with posts, reactions, and comments (shortcode: [feedorax_timeline]) User search – AJAX search in the timeline header to find people REST API – Endpoints for timeline, connections, and auth (login/register) Responsive – Works on desktop and mobile Settings – Feedorax → Overview lists the shortcode and quick start steps Shortcode: [feedorax_timeline] – Displays the social timeline with topbar, feed, and sidebar Updating If you installed from WordPress.org: use Plugins → Updates or update from the Plugins screen when a new version is available. If you installed manually: replace the plugin folder with the new version (or upload and overwrite). Your data (tables and user meta) is preserved. The plugin runs a short upgrade check on each load and applies any required database or option changes for the new version. Privacy Accounts: Feedorax uses WordPress user accounts (name, email, profile data as stored in WordPress). Database: Custom tables store posts, comments, reactions, friend requests, notifications, chat, and related data on your server only. Media: Uploaded images and videos are stored in the WordPress Media Library. REST API: Mutating requests are protected with nonces and permission checks. External services: Optional GIF search, Google-hosted fonts, and location lookup features may contact third-party services as documented below. Site owners are responsible for their privacy policy and compliance with applicable laws (for example GDPR where relevant). External Services Feedorax can connect to third-party services for specific optional features: GIPHY API (GIF Search) What it is used for: Search and attach GIFs from the post composer. What data is sent and when: When a logged-in user searches GIFs, the plugin sends the search query text and your configured GIPHY API key from your server to api.giphy.com. Service provider: GIPHY, Inc. Terms: https://support.giphy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020027752-GIPHY-API-Terms-of-Service Privacy: https://giphy.com/privacy Google Fonts (Optional Typography) What it is used for: Load selected font families for frontend typography settings. What data is sent and when: When a site owner configures Google-hosted font families, a visitor’s browser requests font CSS and files from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com on pages where the Feedorax UI loads. System fonts do not make these requests. Service provider: Google LLC Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy OpenStreetMap Nominatim (Optional Location Labels) What it is used for: Search for places and convert selected browser geolocation coordinates into a human-readable place name in the post composer. What data is sent and when: When a member uses location search, the visitor’s browser sends the typed place query to nominatim.openstreetmap.org. When a member chooses current location, the browser asks for geolocation permission and sends latitude and longitude to nominatim.openstreetmap.org after permission is granted. Service provider: OpenStreetMap Foundation (Nominatim) Terms: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/ Privacy: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy Source Code All plugin PHP/JS/CSS source shipped in this release is included directly in this plugin package.

After single two-minute-long installation your website will have social features: activity, friends, likes, groups, messaging, market and much more. What this plugin is for: Big social networks put plenty of websites out of business, because anyone can create a group on a major Social Network (such as Facebook, VKontakte, LinkedIn, Odnoklassniki, etc.), and it’s much easier than to build and support your own website. We want to get web-masters back into the game, arming them with the same functionality the “grown-up” social networks have.

Done! Optional: For some custom themes you may use the admin interface (look for “GRA4 Settings” in the admin menu) to adjust the social content position. Wiki GRA4 Wiki: http://wiki.gra4.com/ Customization Use the admin interface (look for “GRA4 Settings” in the admin menu) to adjust the social content position. See Video Tutorial at the http://gra4.com/wiki/GRA4_for_WordPress_Settings for details. If you need deeper customization, edit style file custom.css in your wp-content/plugins/gra4/css/ directory. GRA4 content is about 1000px wide, so we also recommend to switch off sidebars for the GRA4 page if the theme offers such option. Compatibility GRA4 Social Network supplies the dynamic content even for non-logged users of your website. Therefore if you use caching plugins, we recommend to switch of the caching for all pages bellow the http://your_website.com/gra4/… Support Groups General: http://gra4.com/groups/profile/94/gra4-webmasters/ WordPress: http://gra4.com/groups/profile/98/gra4-webmasters-wordpress Demo see the demo at http://wordpress.ucq.me or pick one of the operational websites from the Partner Networks List at http://gra4.com/networks or create your own playground on free hosting http://ucq.me Wiki http://wiki.gra4.com/ Support Groups General: http://gra4.com/groups/profile/94/gra4-webmasters/ WordPress: http://gra4.com/groups/profile/98/gra4-webmasters-wordpress
