Methods for Embedding Facebook Feeds on WordPress
There are 2 main ways to embed Facebook feeds on your WordPress website:
- Use Facebook’s plugin to manually embed your Facebook feed on your website.
- Use an authentic WordPress plugin to connect your Facebook account and automatically add your feed with just a few clicks.
The 1st method is pretty confusing since it involves multiple web pages and copying and pasting lots of code snippets into your WordPress.
Also, you can’t really customize the default Facebook plugin design if you aren’t familiar with HTML or Javascript.
You can potentially break your website if you have errors in your code snippet. If you encounter any problems, you don’t have a support team to help you either.
But if you use a WordPress plugin to embed your Facebook feed, you won’t have those issues at all.

First, go to the Facebook Feed » All Feeds menu from your WordPress dashboard.
On the new page, just click on the Add New button at the top.
Next, you can pick the type of Facebook feed that you want.
There are 9 different options to pick from here, such as timeline feeds, review feeds, photo feeds, album feeds, video feeds, and much more.
To proceed, you can just pick the feed type that you want and then click on Next.
For this tutorial, we’ll be using a timeline feed.
Step 3: Connect Your New Feed to Facebook
If you want your feed to display content from Facebook, you’ll have to connect it to a Facebook page or group first.
To get started with that, click on the Add New button.
After that, the plugin will ask you to pick between a Facebook group or page. Just select the option you prefer and then click on Connect.
Now, the plugin will send you to Facebook so you can choose the page or group that you want to connect to your feed.
On the popup, just select the Facebook page or group and then click on Next.
The plugin will now ask for read-only access to your Facebook account so that it can show your Facebook posts.
With this access, it can only read your posts and can’t actually make any changes. So, Facebook Feed Pro is completely safe.
Now, just click on Done to give the read-only access.
This will bring you back to your website. Here, just click on the Add button to add the Facebook page or group as a source.
With that, you can just click on the Next button to finally connect your feed to Facebook.
Step 4: Customize Your Facebook Feed
Now that you’ve connected your feed to Facebook, you can quickly choose a unique design for your feed by importing a feed theme.
You have 5 different themes to choose from here:
- Default
- Modern
- Social Wal
- Outline
- Overlap
After selecting the theme that you prefer, click on the Next button.
Once you do that, Facebook Feed Pro will give you different templates to choose from. Each template will change the layout of the posts on your site.
Just select the template you like and then click on Next once more.
After picking your template, your feed will be open in the live feed editor.
On the left panel of the live feed editor, you can find all the customization options for the feed. With these, you can change the feed type, layout, color scheme, header design, like box, post style, and much more.
On the right, you can see a live preview of your Facebook feed, which shows all of your changes in real-time.
First, click on the Feed Layout option to go ahead and customize the layout of your Facebook feed.
For your Facebook feed, you get 4 different feed layout options: List, Grid, Masonry, and Carousel.
The first option is the list layout, which shows your Facebook posts in a single column.
As a result, each Facebook post gets more room on the page, so it’s more visible.
Next, you have the grid layout that can show a ton of Facebook posts at the same time. In this layout, your posts will be shown in rows and columns, with each post taking less space.
You can also go for the masonry layout, which shows your Facebook posts in multiple columns.
If you want to keep the original proportions of your Facebook posts, then this layout is for you.
Want to give your visitors more control over how they see your Facebook posts? You can try the Facebook carousel layout in that case.
After you select the feed layout option that you prefer, just click on Save.
To see the main customization options again, click on the Customize button.
With that, you can go on and change the colors of your Facebook feed. For that, click on the Color Scheme option.
When it comes to the color scheme of your Facebook feed, you have 4 options to choose from:
- Inherit From Theme: Use the colors of your site’s theme for your feed
- Light: Show a feed with a lighter background and dark font color
- Dark: Use a darker background along with a lighter font color for your feed
- Custom: Manually pick all the colors of your feed yourself
Just select the color scheme that you prefer for your Facebook feed and then click on Save.
After that, you can use the rest of the customization options to change the design of your new Facebook feed.
You can set your header style, like box, post layout, feed size, background, and much more, with absolutely no coding needed. Finally, click on Save after you’re done customizing your Facebook feed.
Step 5: Embed Your Facebook Feed on Your Website
Once you’re done with the customization, you can go ahead and post your new Facebook feed. You can do that in 2 different ways:
- Embed the Facebook feed on your WordPress page
