Cross-Feed Promotion

Cross-Feed Promotion injects Elementor-rendered preview cards from one Voxel post type into another post type's feed — Events cards inside the Places feed, for instance.

This is separate from ad injection. It promotes your own content across feeds rather than paid banners, so it needs no AdRotate group and generates no impressions.

Bundled from the standalone plugin

This was previously the standalone Voxel Cross Feed Promotion plugin. It's now built in. If the standalone copy is still active it's deactivated automatically on first admin load, and your existing rules carry over untouched — they live in the same option.

Configure

Under Settings → Voxel Ads → Cross-Feed Promotion, each rule has:

Field	Purpose
Source post type	Whose cards get injected, e.g. events.
Card template	The Voxel Elementor card template — Default Card or a custom one.
Target feed selector	CSS selector of the destination feed, e.g. .placesfeed.
Feed type	Regular post feed, or Timeline.
Priority → position map	Maps voxel:priority values to feed positions, e.g. 2 = 0, 2, 4. Position 0 is before the first card.
Simple positions	Fixed positions or every-Nth, as an alternative to the priority map.
Max posts	Cap on injected cards per feed.
Card label	Optional small label above each card, e.g. "Featured Event".
Rendering mode	AJAX on demand, or server-side.
Post status filter	Published only, or published plus scheduled.
Extra filter	Optional meta_key:meta_value.

Rendering modes

Mode	When to use
AJAX on demand	The default and the safer choice. Cards render through Voxel's normal pipeline, so dynamic tags resolve exactly as they do in a native feed.
Server-side	Faster, fewer requests. Some Voxel dynamic tags that depend on request context may not resolve.

Start with AJAX. Switch to server-side only if you've confirmed your card template renders correctly without it.

Caching

Cards are cached for five minutes, and the cache clears when you save a rule or edit one of the source posts. If a card looks stale after an edit, that's the window you're seeing.

Scheduled events

Setting the status filter to Published + Scheduled is genuinely useful for events: an event scheduled to publish next week can still be promoted now, which is usually what you want for something people need to plan around.
