    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.

    Thank you for your interest in the plugin and your feedback.

    From the plugin description

    Plugin that provides an [include-mastodon-feed] shortcode to easily integrate mastodon feeds into wordpress pages.

    The plugin is written in PHP and generates native JavaScript to fetch and render the mastodon feed. No special libraries needed.

    It does not generate any IFrames or wordpress posts at all. It does generate JavaScript that then injects the feed as HTML content right where the shortcode is placed. I’ll try to make the description clearer in future releases.

    Screenshots would not help to demonstrate this technical point, as the rendered representation of the feed would look all the same to the page visitor. But I get what you are saying and I do find too, that screenshots help site administrators in deciding if it is the right plugin for them.

    I am mostly worried about outdated screenshots and having to continuously generate and host new ones. Also demo pages. Don’t have the capacity to do that right now. I’ll try to address that in future releases.
