The Custom Facebook Feed - Display a completely customizable Facebook feed on your WordPress website

Which version of the Custom Facebook Feed plugin is right for me? The WordPress plugin or the PHP Standalone version?

If your site is built on WordPress then we’d definitely recommend the WordPress plugin. Both versions can display your feed in the same way and don’t look any different on the front-end, but there are a few key differences to consider:

  • The WordPress plugin requires the site to be built on WordPress, whereas the Standalone version is more suitable for static sites. The Standalone version is comprised of PHP files which must be uploaded to your web server. You can get a better idea of how the PHP Standalone version works by viewing the setup documentation here.
  • The WordPress plugin can receive automatic updates whereas the Standalone version requires manual updates
  • The WordPress plugin includes a user interface and allows you to change the options and settings for the plugin through your WordPress admin pages, whereas the Standalone version uses a PHP file to store the settings which you would need to edit
  • The WordPress plugin is compatible with our Extensions, whereas the PHP Standalone version is not. However, the latest version of the PHP Standalone plugin now contains support for the Multifeed and Album extensions.

If you have any specific questions about either version of the plugin then feel free to contact us.

Last minute reminder: if you're displaying an Instagram Hashtag feed and haven't done so already then don't forget to update to the latest version of the plugin and follow the directions to migrate to Instagram's new API. Their old Hashtag API will be deprecated tomorrow! smashballoon.com/migrate-to-new-instagram-hashtag-api
