Sitebix StoryMode

Sitebix StoryMode lets visitors browse story rings, tap to watch fullscreen slides (images and video), and resume from the first unseen slide when logged in.

• Viewer: [sitebix_stories layout="circle"] or [sitebix_stories layout="shorts"]
• Creator studio: [sitebix_story_studio] for allow-listed users
• Access: public, logged-in-only, or passcode-protected slides
• Video: WordPress Media Library by default. Optionally deliver through Bunny Stream (HLS) or Amazon S3 / CloudFront
• Appearance: per-shortcode color controls in settings
• Analytics: unique viewers per story in the admin dashboard

No dependency on WooCommerce, WPGraphQL, or other Sitebix plugins.

External services

By default this plugin does not call any third-party service. Media stays in the WordPress Media Library.

If a site owner enables optional media delivery under StoryMode → Settings → Media delivery, the plugin may connect to:

Bunny Stream (Bunny Way d.o.o.) — encodes and serves HLS video via https://video.bunnycdn.com when Bunny is selected.
* What data is sent and when: the site owner’s Bunny library ID and API AccessKey; video file bytes on upload/ingest; video GUIDs for status/delete when stories use Bunny. Requests happen only after Bunny credentials are saved and Bunny delivery is enabled (admin uploads, ingest, webhook/status checks).
* Terms of Service: https://bunny.net/tos/
* Privacy Policy: https://bunny.net/privacy/

Amazon S3 and optional CloudFront (Amazon Web Services) — store and serve media when S3 delivery is selected (*.s3.amazonaws.com / *.s3.<region>.amazonaws.com, and a user-configured CloudFront hostname when set).
* What data is sent and when: the site owner’s AWS access key ID and secret (SigV4 signed requests); media object bytes and keys on upload/delete/list when S3 is enabled. No AWS traffic occurs until S3 credentials and a bucket are configured and S3 delivery is enabled.
* Service Terms: https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/
* Privacy Policy: https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/

API keys and secrets are stored as WordPress options and are not exposed to public REST responses or frontend scripts.
