Creating a slideshow, slider, or carousel from your Facebook posts

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:

The metric you're optimizing for might be the reason your business isn't growing locally. 👇

Most people don't realize Instagram's algorithm has no idea where your store is unless you tell it. Watch this, then go fix it today.

Save this for the next time you're about to post. 📍

That moment when you realize your 50+ Google reviews are invisible to website visitors 😳

One yoga studio went from 1 to 8 inquiries per week. Same traffic. They just moved their reviews to where people could actually see them.

That moment when you realize you've been creating every piece of content TWICE 🤦‍♀️

Once for Instagram. Once for your website. Maybe a third time for TikTok.

Meanwhile, smart creators post ONCE and it shows up everywhere automatically.

Your Instagram feed? Updates their homepage.
Your YouTube videos? Populate their blog.
Your best content? Working 24/7 on their site.

Stop letting your content disappear after 48 hours ⏰

Everyone’s obsessed with follower growth.

10K.
50K.
100K.

But most creators never build a system that converts attention into revenue.

A creator with 5K followers and a website, email list, and clear offer can out-earn someone with 50K followers and no conversion path.

Followers don’t pay you.

Systems do.

If we're being honest, your homepage is killing your TikTok conversions!

Here's what usually happens: Someone loves your TikTok → clicks your link → lands on a generic homepage → bounces immediately.

Why? Because they expected the same energy from your video.

The fix? Continuity pages. Match your landing page to your TikTok vibe. Same colors, same message, same energy.

Try this and watch your conversions grow!

Instagram isn’t hiding your posts.

It’s ranking your signals.

Relationship strength.
Interest prediction.
Follower activity.

If your reach is down, it’s not personal.

It’s performance signals.

Stop blaming the algorithm.
Start strengthening what it measures.

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).
