Legacy Document – this is for versions of the Custom Facebook Feed Pro plugin below version 4.0.
Watch the videos below for an overview of how to setup and use the WordPress plugin, or scroll down for step-by-step written instructions.
30-Second Quick Setup
5-minute Overview
1) Once you’ve purchased the Custom Facebook Feed plugin click on the “Downloads” tab to download the plugin. Your download link, license key, and purchase information is also emailed to you at the address which you provided during checkout.
2) Once you’ve downloaded the zip file there’s no need to open it. You’ll be uploading and installing this zip file directly to WordPress.
Note: If you’re on a Mac then your OS may be set up to automatically unzip zip files when downloading. You can zip the files up again by just right clicking on the folder containing the files and clicking ‘Compress’. Alternatively, you can download the zip directly from your account.
3) If you are using the free version of the WordPress plugin then be sure to deactivate it prior to installing the Pro version.
Note: To transfer your settings from the free version to the Pro version just do the following:
1) Check the ‘Preserve Settings when plugin is removed’ setting, which can be found in the following location in WordPress: Facebook Feed > Customize > Misc > Misc Settings
2) Remove the free version
3) Install and activate the Pro version
To upload the Pro version of the plugin click Add New at the top of your WordPress Plugins page.
4) Click Upload at the top.
5) Browse to the zip file which you downloaded when you purchased the plugin and click Install Now
6) Activate the plugin.
7) You’ll now see the Facebook Feed menu appear in your WordPress menu. Navigate to the Settings page and click on the License tab to enter your license key.
8) Paste your license key into the field and click Save Changes
9) Click Activate License
10) Click on the Configuration tab and then click on the button labeled Connect a Facebook Account.
Note: If you are connecting an account on behalf of someone else, then you can send them this link and ask them to send you their ID and Access Token. You can then use the “Manually connect account” button to enter their info.
11) You will be redirected to Facebook and if you are not logged in then will be prompted to do so. Once logged in, follow the prompts by clicking the Continue button.
12) Facebook will then ask you to authorize our plugin to “manage your Pages”. Click OK.
Important: This does not allow our plugin to manage your page settings, edit, post to, or do anything else to your Facebook page. It simply allows the plugin to retrieve a “read-only” Access Token for your page which allows it to retrieve posts or other content you wish to display.
Note: If you plan to display feeds from more than one Facebook page, or use the plugin on other websites, then it is not advised that you use the “Chose what you allow” option, as doing so will prevent the plugin from being able to retrieve a token for other Facebook pages you manage either now or in the future.
13) A list of Facebook pages which you are an admin of will be displayed. Select a page and click “Connect this page”.
Note: You do not need to select the Facebook page that you want to display posts from. An Access Token from any Facebook page will work to display posts from any other Facebook page.
14) Click Save Settings

16) You can display multiple Facebook feeds on one page and specify options within the shortcode. Click here for a full list of shortcode options.

noch wer dieses Problem ? "Hallo! Seit WordPress 5.2 gibt es eine eingebaute Funktion, die erkennt, wenn ein Plugin oder ein Theme einen fatalen Fehler auf deiner Website verursacht, und dich deswegen mit dieser automatisierten E-Mail benachrichtigt. In diesem Fall hat WordPress einen Fehler in einem deiner Plugins, Custom Facebook Feed Pro Personal, abgefangen. Besuche zunächst deine Website (smashballon-bug/) und überprüfe sie auf sichtbare Probleme. Besuche als nächstes die Seite, auf der der Fehler aufgetreten ist (smashballon-bug....,de/wp-admin/admin.php?page=newsletter_users_edit&id=xx) und prüfe, ob es sichtbare Probleme gibt. Bitte kontaktiere dein Hosting-Unternehmen, um Unterstützung bei der weiteren Untersuchung dieses Problems zu erhalten. Wenn deine Website fehlerhaft zu sein scheint und du nicht mehr wie gewohnt auf dein Dashboard zugreifen kannst, hat WordPress jetzt einen speziellen „Wiederherstellungsmodus“. Auf diese Weise kannst du dich sicher in deinem Dashboard anmelden und weitere Untersuchungen durchführen. smashballon-bug....,de/wp-login.php?action=enter_recovery_mode&rm_token=Vs6cTUFpiLJTEvfqBvzXM4&rm... Um deine Website zu schützen, läuft dieser Link in 1 Tag ab. Aber keine Sorge: Ein neuer Link wird dir per E-Mail zugeschickt, wenn der Fehler nach Ablauf der Frist erneut auftritt. Wenn du Hilfe bei diesem Problem suchst, wirst du möglicherweise nach einigen der folgenden Informationen gefragt: WordPress-Version 6.1.1 Aktives Theme: Avada (Version 7.7) Aktuelles Plugin: Custom Facebook Feed Pro Personal (Version 4.3.4) PHP-Version 8.0.26 Fehler-Details ============== Ein Fehler vom Typ E_ERROR wurde in der Zeile 1204 der Datei /www/htdocs/smashballon-bug/wp-content/plugins/custom-facebook-feed-pro/inc/Admin/CFF_Global_Settings.php verursacht.

I just installed the Facebook Feed Pro version. It doesn't do anything. What I mean is, I can only adjust how it looks. I can't interact with the feed from my website. When I press Like or Comment it bounces to Facebook.
Hi, good morning, I am interested in buying the "develpment" version, I would like to know if you can give me a ->discount code<- please, thank you very much.

I just do not get it. For the past several years when wordpress updated your plugin required complete removal and reactivation which was very time consuming to say the least when you have a large number of websites that it is on. No support responses other than "sorry'. Now, after letting the renewal expire we decided to renew for only 2 websites that we manage, TWO not 87. The response I get it there is no downgrade option so instead of renewing for unlimited sites for $79, I can buy a new sub for up to 5 sites for $190 +/-. Does that sound normal to you? Does that even remotely sound like a solution?
