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:
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).

There's a version of your homepage you've never seen, and your customers have.
An Instagram feed not working on your website leaves an empty gap where your proof used to sit, and a stranger reads it as a business that gave up.
Borrowed proof has bad days.
Follow, and I'll keep showing you what your website does when you're not looking.

Every question nobody could ask you went to whoever answered first.
Now count the people who had one question and no fast way to ask it. That is the number nobody reports.
A chat button that opens WhatsApp puts the question on your phone instead.
Follow along, there are six weeks of this left.

The best photos of your business aren't on your website.
You can show those Instagram posts on your website instead, the ones your customers already took in bad light in their own kitchens.
Blurry and real beats perfect and bought.
Follow, and every week I'll show you one more thing on your site a stranger doesn't believe.

Your best Instagram post isn't your best Instagram post.
The Instagram feed on your website keeps its own scoreboard, and it doesn't match the app.
Likes tell you what people enjoyed. Clicks on your site tell you what they wanted.

The contact form was built to protect your time, and for years it worked.
It just protects you from the wrong people. The bored browser gets through, the buyer with their card out doesn't.
If you want the impatient buyers, you need a faster door than a form.
Follow, I break down one of these every week, and save this one for the next time someone tells you to just add a contact form.

"Trusted" means nothing on your homepage.
A stranger gives your site five seconds to decide if they trust you, and they never read a word of your copy.
Real proof is someone else's voice, right there on a page you control, not a screenshot, not a link to Instagram.
Follow, every week I pull apart one more thing killing trust on small business websites. Save this before you touch your homepage copy.

Kinda chic to have a website that updates itself 😉

You can reply to a customer from the school pickup line and never open the full message.
The move: send something tiny back the second the message lands, not the answer, just "got it, checking."
The real answer comes later, when you get a gap. Nothing's reset, the thread holds your place.
Follow, I break down a fix like this every week.

You post on Instagram every single week, and your homepage still looks like nobody's home.
You've already done the work. It's just stuck on somebody else's page instead of your own site.
Point your own site at what you're already doing, and a new post updates your homepage automatically.
Follow, and I'll show you how to set this up on your own site next.

Your form's still waiting on nine o'clock. Your customer stopped waiting an hour ago.
A lost sale doesn't make noise, it just stops showing up, because the buyer's already in a thread on Instagram or WhatsApp, picking whoever answers first.
The form was never the villain. The wait was, and now it's over.
Follow, I'll show you where to put that button next.
