On contentfry, you can create and publish an unlimited number of Social Walls, each tailored to showcase specific content. To achieve this, you’ll need to configure content filters that define the type of posts displayed on each Social Wall. Whether you're setting up a filter for the first time or adjusting an existing one, this guide will walk you through the process.
How to Create a New Content Filter
Click on "Filter" in your dashboard to start.
2. In the dropdown menu, you'll find various filter parameters at your disposal:
Content: Image, Video, Text
Connections: All the connections you have established
Platforms: Instagram, TikTok, etc.
Themes: All Themes you have created
Storyboxes: All Storyboxes you have created
Languages: (Exclusive to plans with the Language Detection Add-on feature)
Search: Select a particular keyword that should be present in the text
Map: Focus content on a selected location
Any time:Narrow down content to a specific time frame
Color: Choose the predominant mood color from images to create a visually cohesive Social Wall
3. Select the filter parameters that align with your Social Wall's content requirements. In our example, we're creating a Social Wall that exclusively displays content from our LinkedIn and Instagram profiles while excluding Facebook content.
4. Your selected filters will be visible in the menu bar and your dashboard will only display the filtered content. In our example, these include the selected connections and the added language filter (EN).
To save your configurations as a filter, click on "Save Filters" after configuring all the parameters.
6. Provide a meaningful name for your filter in the designated field within the pop-up window. Then click on "Save".
7. Your new content filter is now saved and accessible through "Saved Filters."
8. The content filter is now also available in the Display Sharing Menu. Here, you can effortlessly generate the embed code or URL for various Social Walls. Proceed to the next steps for creating and publishing a Social Wall here.

Exclude a Connection from the Language Filter
If your content filter uses language-based filtering, you can also exclude specific Connections from your Language Filter. This feature is especially useful when you combine multiple languages in a single post on certain platforms.
Begin by selecting the language for your Language Filter. Once you've selected a language, the option "Exclude post language filter for some connections" will appear.
Click on "Exclude post language filter for some connections" to open a dropdown menu. From the dropdown, select the Connections you want to exclude.
After making your selections, click "Save Filter" to save your Language Filter settings.
To review or update the Excluded Connections, navigate to "Filter" and click on "Exclude post language (…)." Once you’ve made your changes, click the "Save Filter" button. Follow the remaining steps outlined in the section Updating an existing Content Filter just above to finalize your updates
