NOW Finance Social Content Importer

Description

NOW Finance Social Content Importer reads posts and media from supported social APIs and stores them in WordPress. Imports include descriptions, hashtags, dates, and available engagement counts.

New imports are drafts. Automatic imports, public REST access, and local MP4 downloads are off by default. The responsive [nsci_content_feed] shortcode displays published items without requiring ACF, Elementor, or FileBird.

You supply and maintain each provider’s developer app, credentials, account access, and approvals. Installing the plugin does not grant API access.

Features

• TikTok Display API imports with OAuth and token refresh.
• Instagram Graph API imports for supported professional accounts.
• LinkedIn Posts API imports for approved organization integrations and member integrations that already have access.
• Draft-first imports, source-ID deduplication, and update-only imports.
• Guarded image and optional video downloads.
• Manual imports, WP-Cron schedules, WP-CLI commands, and an administrator REST import route.
• A plugin-managed post type or an existing post type, with field mapping to ACF, JetEngine/Crocoblock, or WordPress metadata.
• Optional native field editor and responsive feed shortcode.

Shortcodes

Imported content feed

[nsci_content_feed] displays published imported items in a responsive grid.

• count: 1 to 100 posts; default 12.
• source: Optional tiktok, instagram, or linkedin filter.
• columns: 1 to 4 columns; default 3.

Example: [nsci_content_feed source="instagram" count="6" columns="2"]

Single content field

[nsci_content_field field="short_description"] displays one mapped field.

• field: Required registered field key.
• post_id: Optional destination post ID; defaults to the current post.
• fallback: Optional text shown when the field is empty.

Example: [nsci_content_field field="like_count" post_id="123" fallback="0"]

Field mappings change where values are stored; registered shortcode field keys stay the same.

External services

The plugin contacts a provider only after an administrator connects an account, tests a connection, or starts an import. Depending on the provider and action, it sends access tokens, account or author identifiers, requested content fields, paging cursors, or OAuth data. It receives posts, media URLs, account data, engagement counts, and token responses. The plugin developer receives no telemetry.

TikTok

Used for Login Kit OAuth, token management, profile checks, and reading the connected user’s public videos through the Display API.

Privacy

Credentials and tokens are stored encrypted in the WordPress database. Imported posts, provider identifiers, import history, and downloaded media are stored locally. Public REST access is off by default. When enabled, published imported content can be read through the plugin endpoint and, for supported post types, the WordPress core REST endpoint.

Site owners are responsible for disclosing connected providers, imported content, retention, and public presentation in their privacy policy. The plugin adds suggested wording to the WordPress Privacy Policy Guide. Only import and locally copy media you are authorized to use; provider terms and access policies still apply.
