[include-mastodon-feed instance=”mastodon.social” id=”longnumberhere” limit=”10″] throws this error [include-mastodon-feed] missing configuration: account id or tag what am I doing wrong please

ID Should be account””

The following minimal setup will trigger the problem:

[include-mastodon-feed instance="chaos.social" account="111784504453496359"]

This will lead to a closing </p> tag in the DOM, at least until the feed is fetched.

Seems to me that during the initialization of the feed a div with id include-mastodon-feed-<someHash> is replacing a placeholder paragraph in the blog’s widget area, but only the opening <p>, leavin the closing </p> in place..? You can verify when using https://validator.w3.org/ which does not load the JS-based feed, hence complaining about said </p>.

Hi and thanks again for this great plugin!

I was wondering if it would be possible to hide hashtags used at the end of the post.

Current Mastodon versions tuck these tags away nicely in the default UI as a hashtag bar, but they still show up on my site as part of the post.

For an example of the desired behavior, in the following post:

I sure do love the #IncludeMastodonFeed plugin. Thank you wolfgang.lol! #wordpress #plugins #mastodon #activitypub

…we would still see “#IncludeMastodonFeed” in the post on my site, but we wouldn’t see the other ones at the end.

Hi there,

First: Thanks for your great plugin. Worked really smooth for a long time. But since a while, the feed is not loading, there is online written “Loading Mastodon feed …” My Debugging-Console in Firefox gives me the error “Uncaught ReferenceError: mastodonFeedLoad is not defined” no idea what this means. But maybe it helps? ??

Account ID and Instance are correct, I checked them multiple times.

Any idea how to fix this? Would really appreciate your help.

Thanks you!

Hi,

Is it possible to remove the timestamp shown in the permalink for a feed? I would like to have only the date shown.

Thanks for the great plugin.

Please update this plugin’s info with:

1. A link to a live demo page where this plugin is in-use
2. Screenshots of the plugin being used on some webpage

This will be very helpful to users to understand exactly what this plugin does.

For example, it’s not clear if this plugin displays a feed of a defined user’s mastodon posts in-line in the page (just in some iframe-like-div, so one inner div per toot) or if it actually turns each toot into a wordpress post (so one post per toot)

Pictures say a thousand words and a demo says a million.

Please link to a live demo of this plugin and provide some screenshots, so it will be very quickly clear exactly what this plugin does.

I installed the plugin today and it does pull toots into my page…but only toots up to October 6, 2022. My code (account # is not real in this example):

[include-mastodon-feed instance="mastodon.radio" account="123456789123456789" excludeReplies="TRUE"]

I have many newer toots but they are not being pulled in.

At one point I jumped off mastodon.radio and went to mastodon.hams.social (looks like I did that on October 5, 2022), but I liked the crowd at mastodon.radio better so I switched back in October 2023.

Hello Wolfgang,

could you please explain, how to get a German date format like “11.11.2023 10:53″? I tried date-locale=”de_DE”, but it doesn’t work.

Best, Daniel

Unable to load feed.

This is what I tried:

[include-mastodon-feed instance=”YOUR-INSTANCE” account=”YOUR-ACCOUNT-ID”] (sample)

[include-mastodon-feed instance=”@[email protected]” account=”111335950128699046″] (fails)

[include-mastodon-feed instance=”@mastodon.social” account=”111335950128699046″] (fails)

[include-mastodon-feed instance=”@wintertrail” account=”111335950128699046″] (fails)

Here is my ID profile: https://mastodon.social/@wintertrail

Thank you. I honest went through all the support threads and could not find the answer. Sorry to bother you.

Hi, I encountered a formatting issue when switching to the Boxstyle theme in WordPress. What can I do to make the feed look better in the sidebar?

The Mastodon feed isn’t loading?

What is going wrong.

Dear friends;

Recently I’ve started with my mastodon avatar on https://hessen.social/@peerceval While editing my profile, I’ve got the option to add a square account photo (which will be cropped to 400x400px) and a title image (cropped to the size 1500×500). Then I tried to use your plugin in my developement wordpress instance – which worked very well (better than the current twitter widget, which I still use on my production and which shall be replaced by the content gathered by your plugin). But there is one downside:

In your widget my profile photo is stretched to 16:9 (or similar) ratio. The square photo is not used. I tried a bit by replacing my mastodon profile photo by a 16:9 phote etc. No results: Mastodon reduces the sizes to 400×400.

So here is my question: How can I modify the picture code in the widget so that its aspect ratio is preserved? (As far as I know, it would be sufficient to delete the height size in the img tag.)

Best regards an congratulations for your wonderful work. KR

[EDIT: apparently the date options are about how dates are displayed, not about filtering by date]

Hello,

Judging from the source code, it seems there are date filtering options available, but apparently they cannot be used from the shortcode there is no way to limit by start and end date.

I am interested in such a feature, for monthly themed micro-fiction writing challenges)

Is someone already working on this?

If not, then I am willing to work on it.

Hi. Great plugin – using it to replace my existing Twitter feed now that Elon has hobbled that. But it doesn’t seem to scale .gifs (or possibly just animated gifs?). See my blog linked here for an example – the feed is in the rightmost sidebar, but some images are not being scaled to fit in it. Any chance we could see a fix for that? Thanks!

I’m experiencing an issue with the Plugin: Include Mastodon Feed. The feed doesn’t load on the webpage preview, continuously displaying the message “Loading Mastodon feed…” I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. The mastodon instance i use is: instance=”https://genomic.social” . Thank you.

Is it possible to hide cards of linked external websites?

Hi Wolfgang,

Thanks for your great work on this plugin.
Do you think there is a way to add a link to the post on images ?

It’s for a Photogragy mastodon account. With CSS, I keep only the pictures of the feed and hide all other information (account name, date, …) . So a link on images will be great for my presentation. Maybe something to change on the PHP file ?

Thanks for your help.

Does Include Mastodon Feed support WordPress.com? Honestly I am not to technical … So I don’t get it up and running.

I am getting the following error when I try to get my account ID from my instance. I am NOT the instance admin.

{"error":"The access token is invalid"}

Please advise…

I appreciate your work here. I would like to suggest the ability to show a feed from other users that I have curated in a Mastodon list.

Could you include a setting to hide the Mastodon avatart, it takes up a lot of space and doesn’t look great when you have multiple toots in a feed. See example, https://kingtiger.co.uk/sandbox/

Not sure if this is a new feature request or if there is already a way to do it via configuration, but I would like to hide replies. I.e., Hide statuses that have a in_reply_to_id value.

Thanks!
