WP Social Ninja 4.4.0: 8 new templates, video testimonials, review search 🥳

We just released WP Social Ninja with some exciting new features and improvements.

• Tripadvisor API: Tripadvisor moved to their new Terra platform and 4.4.0 supports it. Create a key on the new developer platform and save it in your Tripadvisor settings. The plugin detects which API your key belongs to, so you do not pick a version. If you use Tripadvisor reviews, do this one first.
• Search and filter inside a review feed (Pro). Visitors can search the reviews in a feed as they type, re-sort them, and filter to an exact star rating. The search runs across the review text your cards display, so results match what is on screen. Works on slider, random and popup feeds. Off by default. Look for "Let Visitors Search, Sort & Filter" in your review template.
• Video testimonials (Pro). Attach a clip to any testimonial. YouTube link, Vimeo link, direct file URL, or a media library upload. Playback runs through FluentPlayer and loads only when a video can actually appear, so pages without video stay just as light.
• Eight new feed templates. Instagram 3 and 4 plus Highlights, Facebook 3 and 4 including a mosaic that reveals post text on hover, TikTok 3 and 4 including Spotlight Hero, YouTube 4 and 5. Plus a Minimal header across all four platforms. Template names now describe the layout instead of "Template 1 to 5", so you can pick without opening every preview.
• Review categories. Reusable labels across your whole review library. Group by product, service, location or campaign, bulk assign or remove, see counts per category, and carry multiple categories through CSV import and export in Pro.
• FluentPlayer for YouTube feeds. If you run FluentPlayer, your YouTube feed can use it instead of the YouTube player. Videos still stream from YouTube. What changes is that you can borrow a player design and its layers, so a call to action or email capture sits on top of your feed videos. "Show Layers at Video End" re-anchors layers to five seconds before each video finishes, so a layer set for the four-minute mark still fires on a ninety-second clip.
• Signed updates. Every Pro release is signed with a key that stays offline. Before WordPress downloads an update, your site checks the signature, product, version, and file hash. Any failure and it installs nothing.

Also: keyboard accessibility across feed cards, popups, album and video controls, and shoppable actions. Plus fixes for TikTok word and hashtag filters, Airbnb business info and rating parsing, Facebook warnings, CSV imports clearing author websites, and masonry layouts not reflowing when videos change card height.
