14 ## Description
15
16 The Friends plugin turns your WordPress into a self-hosted social reader. Follow people via RSS and ActivityPub (Mastodon and other Fediverse platforms) and read their posts through one of several built-in themes — Mastodon-style, Google Reader-style, or the default view — with dark mode support.
17
18 **Combine this plugin with the ActivityPub plugin to participate in the Fediverse from your own site. Use the Enable Mastodon Apps plugin to use mobile and desktop Mastodon apps with your WordPress.**
19
20 The plugin is designed to be extensible: other plugins can add parsers for new feed sources, new themes, and new functionality like saving posts to a collection or sending them to an eReader.
21
22 You can...
23 - Choose from multiple themes: Mastodon-style, Google Reader-style, and a block theme with dark mode.
24 - Organize your subscriptions into folders.
25 - Have multiple feeds per person (blog, social media, etc.).
26 - Categorize incoming content with Post Formats and view all posts of a certain format across your feeds.
27 - Define rules to filter incoming content.
28 - Get full-post email notifications from your favorite blogs.
29 - Save posts to a collection for later reference (via the Post Collection plugin).
30 - Send posts to your eReader (via the Send to E-Reader plugin).
31 - Subscribe to any site with one click using the [](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/friends/ledbghpaplkpclndlommpbokndieflhlFriends browser extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/friends/ledbghpaplkpclndlommpbokndieflhl](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/friends/ledbghpaplkpclndlommpbokndieflhl) (also available [](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wpfriends/for Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wpfriends/](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wpfriends/)).

34
35 ### Philosophy
36
37 The Friends Plugin was built to make use of what WordPress provides:
38
39 - You use the WordPress infrastructure (Gutenberg or Classic Editor, what you prefer) to create your posts.
40 - Followed people are stored as taxonomy terms, their posts are cached as a custom post type — delete the term to unfollow.
41 - No extra tables: The Friends plugin just uses a post type, options, and some taxonomies to store its data. When you delete the plugin, your WordPress will be as slim as before.
42
43 The logo was created by Ramon Dodd, @ramonopoly. Thank you!
44
45 Documentation for the plugin can be found on the [](https://github.com/akirk/friends/wikiGitHub project Wiki](https://github.com/akirk/friends/wiki](https://github.com/akirk/friends/wiki).
46
47 **Development of this plugin is done [](https://github.com/akirk/friendson GitHub](https://github.com/akirk/friends](https://github.com/akirk/friends). Pull requests welcome. Please see [](https://github.com/akirk/friends/issuesissues](https://github.com/akirk/friends/issues](https://github.com/akirk/friends/issues) reported there before going to the [](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/friendsplugin forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/friends](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/friends).**
48
49 ## Installation
50
51 1. Upload the `friends` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
52 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
53
54 ## Frequently Asked Questions
55
56 ### Does this plugin create custom tables?
57 No, all the functionality is achieved with standard WordPress means. Followed people are stored as taxonomy terms, and their posts are cached in a custom post type.
58
59 ### What's the point? If I want to follow people I can use a social network.
60 That's exactly the point — with WordPress you own your data and decide where to host it. You get all the benefits of open source software without depending on a third party.
61
62 ### What happens if I modify or delete a post?
63 Cached posts are stored as the custom post type `friend_post_cache`. When you unfollow someone, their cached posts are removed with them.
64
65 ### Is there a browser extension?
66 Yes — install it for [](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/friends/ledbghpaplkpclndlommpbokndieflhlChrome](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/friends/ledbghpaplkpclndlommpbokndieflhl](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/friends/ledbghpaplkpclndlommpbokndieflhl) or [](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wpfriends/Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wpfriends/](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wpfriends/). It adds a toolbar button that lets you subscribe to the site you are currently visiting with one click. Pair it with the API key on the Friends → Browser Extension page to also expose quick actions from other Friends-aware plugins (saving to a collection, sending to your eReader, etc.).

142 - Surface the Friends browser extension in more places so users can discover it: the Browser Extension submenu is now always visible under Friends, the settings page describes what the extension does and links to the Chrome and Firefox stores, and the Tools → Bookmarklets card and README mention it as well. ([#663])

154 - Avoid a fatal error in follower notifications when the ActivityPub plugin (7.5.0+) passes a WP_Post instead of a Follower model — the email handlers now resolve the Actor via Remote_Actors so new- and lost-follower emails work again, ending the inbox retry loop that this caused. ([#661])
155 - Mobile fixes: show the Friends icon in the admin bar on mobile and swap the generic group glyph for the Friends logo mark; stack chips and search on separate rows in the Google Reader theme on narrow screens; remove duplicate compose box from the Twitter theme mobile panel. ([#656])
156 - Fix loading indicator in Google Reader, Mastodon, and Twitter themes spinning the host element's text like a propeller; use a rotating pseudo-element instead. ([#659])

373 Hoping that this hardening will bring back the plugin to the WordPress.org directory after [](https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/friends/friends-321-missing-authorizationthis issue](https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/friends/friends-321-missing-authorization](https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/friends/friends-321-missing-authorization) was reported. While I am unsure it qualified to get the plugin taken down, I've done some hardening and bugfixing in the above pull requests. Unfortunately it was not reported in a way that it could be patched in time. If you have a security issue to report, please follow the instructions on [](https://github.com/akirk/friends/blob/main/SECURITY.mdhttps://github.com/akirk/friends/blob/main/SECURITY.md](https://github.com/akirk/friends/blob/main/SECURITY.md](https://github.com/akirk/friends/blob/main/SECURITY.md) and/or report through [](https://github.com/akirk/friends/securityhttps://github.com/akirk/friends/security](https://github.com/akirk/friends/security](https://github.com/akirk/friends/security).
