Overview
Common Ninja's Social Media and RSS Feeds widget combines posts from several social networks and RSS sources into one feed on a Squarespace page.
What it does
- One feed drawing on several social and RSS sources
- Grid, list or carousel style layouts
- Filtering and styling in Common Ninja's editor
- Updates automatically as you post
Who it suits
Brands, venues and organisations active on several channels who want one social wall instead of separate feed widgets.
Honest caveats
Which networks you can connect depends on Common Ninja's current integrations and your plan, so check before you commit. The free plan has usage limits and paid plans are billed yearly per widget, from $24 a year. It needs a Squarespace Core plan or higher.
If galleries, lightboxes, and media performance keeps coming up in your project, Common Ninja markets Social Media & RSS Feeds to creators presenting photography, video, or portfolios. The promise is practical: strengthen grid and masonry layouts, tighten image loading behavior, and reduce guesswork around visitor-friendly browsing.
Most teams evaluate it against manual layout tweaks: the pitch is faster iteration on galleries, lightboxes, and media performance without exporting the problem to custom code.
Fit depends on your template and commerce setup; compare Common Ninja’s live examples to your own navigation, commerce, or section patterns before buying.
Use SquareLocator as a starting point, then validate details (refunds, updates, support channels) directly with Common Ninja before committing.
Strongest when your brief explicitly mentions galleries, lightboxes, and media performance; weaker if you only need generic “make the site better” tooling.
