UPDATE: Steemit Feed for WordPress v.1.1.0

Hi everybody,

It's been a while since the last update (1.0.5) where we introduced new parameters that allow you to include/exclude specific tags. During the last couple of weeks we've been busy re-designing the plugin from scratch.

This new version (1.1.0) is a complete makeover. There are so many changes that it's impossible to list them all here.

What's new in v.1.1.0

First of all, version 1.1.0 is based on the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate. The plugin now has a standardized, organized, object-oriented foundation that makes it much more powerful and easy to maintain and update.

If you browse the plugin files, you will notice a new strict file organization scheme. We have removed redundant code and we have organized it in a much more efficient and intuitive way. We have also included a .pot file as a starting point for internationalization.

One of the most important new features in v.1.1.0 is that you can now create and save many feeds without using cumbersome shortcodes with a gazillion different attributes.

Easy Feeds

Creating and saving a new feed is now a breeze. On the Dashboard menu, select Steemit Feed and click on Add New Feed.

As you can see, we have divided the feed parameters into groups.

General settings

Feed class: An optional class to be applied to the feed container. Allows for individual feed styling.

Referral username: Appends a referral username to the feed links. This feature is in beta version as referring links have not been introduced to steemit yet.

Load asynchronously: If enabled, loads the feed asynchronously after the document has loaded.

Load FontAwesome: Disable only if you are already using the FontAwesome library in your theme.

Data source

Author: Enter a steem author username (without the @ symbol).

Include tags: Load posts only from these tags. Separate tags with commas.

Exclude tags: Exclude posts from these tags. Separate tags with commas.

Layout

Preset layouts: Select one of the available layouts.

Enable scrollbar: Displays a vertical scrollbar that allows you to scroll down the feed. Works in conjuction with the 'Max-height' parameter.

Max height: Limits the feed container to this height (in pixels).

Responsive breakpoint: For screens smaller than this size (in pixels), the responsive css comes into effect.

Title font size: Changes the title font size (in pixels).

Body font size: Changes the body text font size (in pixels).

Tags font size: Changes the tags font size (in pixels).

Display a feed

Displaying a feed is now a breeze. Just enter the following shortcode in a page, post or widget:

[steemitfeed id="feed_id"]

where feed_id is the feed id.

Important

Old shortcodes will no longer work. You must replace them with the new shortcode and create new feeds.
