About this plugin
Best WordPress threads plugin that allows admin to display feeds from Threads, an Instagram app on your website using Threads official API.
Threads launched their API on June 18, 2024 and we have implemented their API in this plugin. You would need to create an App from your FB developer account here and select Threads API usecase.
Check out the live Demo here
Use the shortcode [fftmj_feeds] to load threads from the user you connect in settings.
By default the plugin displays only 5 posts per shortcode.
Note: This plugin uses Threads API which is just launched and might not have all the data available yet but you can get the enough data to display a feed of posts that link to your Threads posts and profile. We will update the plugin as soon as more data is available through Threads API.
Plugin requirements:
– Must use SSL – https.
– Might not work with localhost.
