If you’re using the Pro version of the Custom Facebook Feed WordPress plugin then you can use our Carousel extension to create sliding carousels out of your Facebook content.
If you’re using the free WordPress plugin, or the PHP Standalone version, then it’s possible to achieve a basic slideshow by doing the following:
————
1) Add a class to the shortcode of the feed that you want to convert into a slideshow:
2) Set the number of posts to display to be the number of posts you want to include in the slideshow (10 for example). You can do this by using the ‘num’ shortcode option:
The Instagram algorithm changed. Likes used to be the metric. In 2026, shares and DMs carry more weight. A Reel sent to 10 friends can outperform one with 500 likes. 0 CommentsComment on Facebook

Because a share means "this person needs to see this." That's a stronger signal than a double tap.
Content that gets shared does one of three things: teaches something useful, calls out a problem someone's friend has, or says something the viewer agrees with but couldn't put into words.
Before you post, picture one person in your audience. Would they send this to someone? If not, rethink it.

That's exactly what a potential customer sees before they decide whether to trust you.
You spend hours on your social media but have you ever actually looked at what shows up when someone Googles you? That's often the final step before they book.
And if your listing looks abandoned — old photos, barely any reviews — it doesn't matter how good your Instagram is. The sale dies right there.
Go check yours today. One update can make the difference.

Someone finds you on social media, clicks to your site, they're on the fence. 50 five-star reviews would convince them instantly. But those reviews are on a completely different website.
So they leave to check Google or they just leave entirely.
76% of customers check reviews before buying. Display your Google reviews directly on your website on your homepage, next to pricing, wherever decisions happen. The proof is right there. No searching required.
That's the difference between someone bouncing and buying.

3) Add the following JavaScript to your site. This can be done manually using a custom JavaScript plugin. For further information see our documentation here. Please note, if you change the class option in the shortcode above to be anything but “slideshow” then make sure to change that on the first line of the snippet below:
var shortcodeClass = 'slideshow',
cffSpeed = 5000,
$cff = $('#cff.'+ shortcodeClass);
$cffItem = $cff.find('.cff-item'),
cffNum = $cffItem.length,
cffCur = 0;
$cffItem.hide();
setTimeout(function(){ $cff.find('.cff-item').eq(0).show(); }, 200);
setInterval(function(){
$cff.find('.cff-item').eq(cffCur).fadeOut( "fast", function() {
if( cffCur == cffNum-1 ) cffCur = -1;
cffCur++;
$cff.find('.cff-item').eq(cffCur).fadeIn();
});
}, cffSpeed);4) You can change the speed of the transition by editing the cffSpeed = 5000 value at the top of the snippet. 5000 is equal to 5 seconds (5000ms).
