Q: Will this add-on slow down my server? / Does it consume too many Queries? A: Absolutely not. [XTR] Social Feed Pro is coded strictly adhering to XenForo's Entity and Finder structures, completely free of N+1 Query issues. Since trending calculations and heavy queries are supported by a Smart Caching system, it runs smoothly even on high-traffic forums.
Q: How is the theme compatibility? Will I have issues if I use a Custom Style? A: Our add-on does not use external and complex CSS libraries (like Bootstrap, Tailwind, etc.) on its own. It is written entirely integrated with XenForo's own LESS (CSS) architecture and template macros. The color palette, button styles, and border structures of your custom theme (e.g., dark theme) automatically reflect on the Social Feed. It is 100% compatible.
Q: Can I allow only specific user groups (e.g., VIP Members) to see the Social Feed? A: Yes! The add-on comes with its own detailed User Group Permissions system. You can grant or deny permissions such as "Can view social feed," "Can view trending," or "Can use my feed" to any user group you wish.
Q: Do profile post notifications go to the feed or the original XenForo profile? A: If the "Enable Profile Posts Feed" option is turned on in the add-on, XF core routers (Class Extensions) take over. When a member receives and clicks on a profile post reply notification, they are routed directly to the Social Feed > Status Updates tab (and specifically anchored to the relevant comment).
Q: Can a user hide threads they don't want from their main feed? A: Yes. There is a "Hide this thread" option in the (...) menu in the top right corner of every thread. Users can remove threads that do not interest them or contain spoilers from their feed with a single click via AJAX.
Q: How does Infinite Scroll work on mobile? A: Infinite scroll works flawlessly on both desktop and mobile devices. New content loads as the user approaches the bottom of the page. If you do not like this feature, you can disable it from the options and place a classic "Load More" button at the bottom of the page instead.
