How to embed Facebook posts into your WordPress site.
WOW! Combining your WordPress.com web site with your Facebook posts just got a whole lot simpler with the new embed feature. Content creating just got a HUGE bonus track thanks to this new feature!
We’ll quickly show you how you can embed your Facebook posts directly into your WordPress posts/pages.
First, check if the post is public by hovering over the audience selector (you’ll see a globe icon) Remember only public posts from Pages and Facebook users can be embedded.
If the post is public, click the “Embed Post” option in the drop down menu:
In the dialog that pops up, simply copy and paste the code provided on your own WordPress pages or posts.
See our FlyGirls example below: Easy. Peasy. Lemon-squeezy, as my little girl would say!
Now you can LIKE – SHARE – or COMMENT directly inside this new embedded feature.
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE – PLUS – BONUS – EXTRA, EXTRA
You can also embed other public posts from outside your own Facebook Pages. We are big fans of Mashable so we will use one of their public posts about their Social Good Summit as an example. The same rules apply. Go to the post you want to embed; Check to see that it is public; Click the Embed Post option; Copy the code to your website!
We LOVE this new embedded feature and hope you do as well. Let us know what you think!
