If a PPCA Error notice is displayed above your feed then this change will affect one or more of your feeds. For more information about this change, please see here.
* New: As Facebook only provides large image sizes in their API for timeline feeds then it often results in images being displayed in your feed which are much larger than needed. With this update, the plugin will now create resized versions of the larger images and store them locally on your server. It will then detect the width of your feed and select the optimal sized images to display. Storing resized images is enabled by default but can be disabled in the following location: Facebook Feed > Customize > Misc > Image Resizing.  The plugin uses sizes of 130px, 250px, 400px, and 720px, but this can be customized by using the cff_resized_image_sizes filter.
