Managing Social Items
Imported social posts are available in the WordPress admin as Social Items. You can use this screen to:
- review imported posts
- edit titles and content
- update featured images
- adjust supported social item fields
- move items to Trash
- restore items when needed
- add items manually
Managing Profiles

How Social Content Is Organized
Social content in Visual Portfolio is organized into separate admin data types:
- Social Items for imported posts
- Profiles for social account information
This makes it easier to manage imported content directly in WordPress while still using the same gallery workflow on the frontend.
Automatic Updates
- Social feed items are synced automatically using WordPress Cron
- Connected accounts are checked regularly
- Imported media is downloaded to your Media Library and served from your own server
- You can also run a manual sync from the Social Items screen
Manual Sync
You can sync all connected accounts from the Social Items screen. If needed, you can also recreate deleted items during sync.
