The Lowdown:
When Looking for a better way to display Facebook feed I was directed to this plugin to check out by my client and well it turn out to be one of the best feed displays for Facebook I have seen in sometime. Easy to use and setup also has numerous customizations you can use and if you opt for the premium version which I highly suggest you get even more options to make it clean and pretty.

SharePrints Gallery
Premium photo gallery plugin

The Lowdown:
Looking for some great galleries to create from the simple square to the Masonry blocks of irregular images. Including filmstrip and slider galleys this plugin has them all. It allows commenting on images, social sharing and has image download protections. lots of possible hover effects to please the eye and more. All in all this is a great plugin for galleries. And to boot they have some great customer support. When I was looking to buy it I was having an issue and they were very accommodating in what I was after kudos tho the team there.

The Lowdown:
This is a great plugin to revive old content.. Install activate and place the short code on a page. It then auto creates the images from your media gallery and lonks to the post that they are tied to. A great way to encourage your visitors to check out your older content.
