Displaying posts - WP Social Wall

Getting the plugin class instance

We use one single function the get the API instance of the plugin. This can be done with the following function call.

$wpSocialWall = get_wp_social_wall_api();

Getting posts

Getting posts from the API is also just one simple function call. You can do this by getting the instance and calling the following function.

$posts = get_wp_social_wall_api()->getPosts();

This function supports an array of arguments. The arguments supported in the function call are limit, page & platform. A fully filled argument list call can look something like this.

$posts = get_wp_social_wall_api()->getPosts([
  ‘limit’ => 10,
  ‘page’ => 1,
  ‘platforms’ => [
    ‘facebook’, ‘instagram’, ‘twitter’
  ]
]);

Looping over the posts

After getting the posts it’s just an easy loop over the posts results array. Here is an example of a twig file that loops over the results.

{% for socialPost in socialPosts %}
{% include ‘partial/social-post.twig’ with { socialPost: socialPost } %}
{% endfor %}

Or with just pure PHP it can look something like:

<?php foreach ($socialPosts as $socialPost) { ?>
<p><?php echo $socialPost->platform; ?></p>
<?php } ?>
