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:

A contact form at 9pm is the same as a locked door. Customers do not wait. They close the tab and find someone who replies.
The fix is a chat button that opens straight into the apps they already use. WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram DMs.
Same traffic, suddenly converting.
#wordpresstips #smallbusiness #livechat #whatsappbusiness #EcommerceTips
Their customers under 30 already moved on.
They search TikTok and Instagram first, watch a few Reels, then maybe click through to a website that looks frozen in time.
Your site has zero proof you're still alive because it was built for a different kind of traffic.
Show them what they already came from.
The sale stays warm when the website feels like the feed.

By the third field, the tab is closed.
WPChat flips it. Your chat widget opens a WhatsApp conversation in one tap, and the message lands on your phone like a text.
Three billion people already use WhatsApp. The friction goes to zero when you stop asking them to learn a new tool.

Every one of those businesses posts to Facebook 3 to 4 times a week, with photos, events, and real customer activity.
But their websites? A 2022 hero image and a contact form. Dead next to the page customers actually find them on.
The Custom Facebook Feed plugin pulls your live Facebook page onto your WordPress site in 5 minutes.

A follower is someone who liked a post and tapped a button. A DM is someone who decided you might solve a real problem and reached out.
Followers are the audience. DMs are the queue.
The business with 10K followers and 2 DMs a week is doing worse than the one with 800 followers and 12 DMs.
Last month, how many followers vs DMs did you get? Drop both numbers below. The ratio tells you everything.

Someone lands on your site with a real question, looks for a way to ask, and sees your phone number first.
Almost nobody calls. They check once more, see no chat button, and leave.
The fix isn't a redesign. It's putting a text option above the phone number and making it the first thing visitors see.
Does your site lead with "call us" or "text us"? Drop yours in the comments and I'll tell you what most sites do wrong.

Customers don't open three tabs. They check one source and either trust you in 10 seconds or close the tab.
Which means 200 glowing reviews looked like 0 to anyone landing on the homepage.
The fix isn't asking for more reviews. It's pulling all three platforms onto the page where the decision actually happens.
Where do your reviews live right now? Drop the platforms below. I'll tell you which to consolidate first.

Shares. DMs, send-to-friends, story re-shares. Outweigh likes by a wide margin in the 2026 algorithm.
A like takes half a second. A share means you put your social credit on the line.
Instagram reads that as "worth interrupting someone's day for" and pushes the post out.
A Reel with 50 likes and 30 shares now beats a Reel with 500 likes and 0 shares. Every time.
What's the last Reel you actually sent to a friend? Drop it below.

The polished Instagram aesthetic you spent the last three years building is officially dead in 2026.
Because AI made polished content cheap, the algorithm now rewards the opposite.
Vertical phone footage with bad lighting, off-the-cuff captions, raw kitchen-format stuff is winning.
Authenticity is the one thing AI still can't fake at scale.
So which one are you doing tomorrow, posting the polished cinematic reel or just talking to the camera?

The problem is that a lot of businesses never ask, despite how important Google reviews can be.
In fact, you might have noticed that all the businesses showing up at the top of local Google searches have a thing in common: a steady stream of fresh reviews.
Having genuine reviews can make a real difference in whether someone chooses your business or the one right next to you.
The good news is that you don't need a huge marketing budget to start collecting reviews.
You just need a plan, and here's how you can get started:
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).
Most small business websites are open 24 hours a day and can answer zero questions.
