Stories, the disappearing photo/video format popularized by Instagram and Snapchat, work well for community sites too: a more immersive, time-limited way for brands and members to share updates than a standard activity post.
WP Stories brings the format to WordPress, with support for BuddyPress, BuddyBoss Platform, and PeepSo.
Key Features:
- Multiple display styles for showing stories.
- Seen stories automatically move to the end of the list.
- Multiple story boxes can be created and placed on any page via shortcode.
- Configurable timers for single and public stories, and stories auto-hide after a set number of days.
- Limits on how many stories a user can post per update, and in total.
- Separate shortcodes for single and public story displays.
- Stories can be created from the WordPress admin panel, not just the frontend.
- Admin approval option before a story goes live.
- RTL-compatible.
- Video uploads supported alongside photos.
- Latest stories can display directly on the activity wall.
