Installation FAQ | The Custom Facebook WordPress plugin

How do I find my Page or Group ID?

If you have a Facebook page with a URL like this: https://www.facebook.com/smashballoon then the Page ID is just smashballoon. If your page URL is structured like this: https://www.facebook.com/pages/smashballoon/123654123654123 then the Page ID is actually the number at the end, so in this case 123654123654123.

If you have a Facebook group then use this tool to find your Group ID.

If you have trouble figuring out your ID from your URL then you can find it in your Facebook page settings under the Page Info tab, as shown below.

Facebook Page ID

Beware, beware this company. Their cancellation process is extremely deceptive, but nonetheless I managed to do it in November 2022. They billed me anyway. I emailed their support and finally got a refund, but...they just billed me AGAIN in 2023 - for a subscription that was cancelled more than a year ago! My profile page even shows that I have no active subscriptions with them. Be very, very careful doing business with these crooks.

How do I display the feed using the Standalone version of the plugin?

Once you’ve defined your settings in the ‘fbfeed-settings.php’ file then simply use the fbFeed($settings); function wherever you want the feed to be displayed. For more detailed instructions please refer to the Standalone version documentation.

How do I customize my feed?

The plugin comes with a ton of built-in options to allow you to customize your feed in a bunch of different ways.

 

WordPress plugin

You can customize the feed by setting the options on the ‘Customize‘ page, which can be found under the ‘Facebook Feed’ menu in your left hand WordPress admin menu. If you need even deeper customization than the built in options allow then you can add your own CSS to the plugin in the ‘Custom CSS’ section under the ‘Misc’ tab.

You can also override these styles for individual feeds by setting options within the shortcode. For example, you can change the height of a specific feed like so:

Standalone version

You can customize the feed by settings the options in the ‘fbfeed-settings.php’ file. If you need deeper customization then you can add your own custom CSS to your website’s stylesheet to completely customize the way the feed looks.

You can also override these styles for individual feeds by setting custom options which you can pass into the fbFeed() function. For example, you can change the height of a specific feed like so:

$custom = array(
'height' => '500px'
);

fbFeed($settings, $custom);

How to I migrate my settings from the free version of the WordPress plugin to the Pro version?

As the free version and the Pro version are two separate versions of the plugin then you need to deactivate the free version prior to activating the Pro version. You can keep your settings by following these steps:

1) Deactivate the free version
2) Install and activate the Pro version
3) Delete/Remove the free version

This will carry your settings over from the free version to the Pro version.
