3. WordPress
WordPress differs slightly from the instructions listed above.
Instead of using Facebook’s custom code, you can use a WordPress plugin. (Note: You have to upgrade to the business plan under WordPress in order to use this plugin function.)
For our purposes, use this Smash Balloon Social Post Feed plugin which is rated 5 stars and has over 200,000 active installs.
Before you continue with the following steps, make sure that you install the plugin in your Businessplan WordPress account. You can either install via the WordPress plugin directory or by uploading the files to your web server (in the / wp-content / plugins / directory). Then click on “Activate”.
1. Navigate to the Facebook Feed tab in WordPress to configure your feed. Then click on “Connect Facebook Account” and select your company page.
2. Next, copy the shortcode [custom-facebook-feed] to embed your feed on your website. (You can also view multiple feeds from different Facebook pages by specifying a page ID directly in the shortcode: [custom-facebook-feed id=smashballoon num=5].)
3. Paste it into the text of your new or existing WordPress site.
4. All right! Once you’ve previewed your page, you’ll see what the timeline will look like in live mode.
4. Wix
For Wix customers, you use a third party tool – Elfsight – to generate the unique code that you can use on your Wix website. Because of this, this list includes a few additional steps.
1. Create your own Elfsight Apps account or log in to your existing account. (It’s free to embed a Facebook feed code. If you have to use Elfsight a lot, consider the basic plan, which is $ 18 a month for startups and new businesses.)
2. On the Social tab, click the Facebook Feed application.
3. Select the template you want to use to determine what your Facebook feed will look like on your Wix site. For example, you can choose a Facebook feed with a small widget or a Facebook feed in full screen mode. Click “Continue with this template …” when you’re ready.
4. Then click the “Connect to Facebook” button to connect your company’s Facebook page to Elfsight. You can also click the Layout tab to change the height and width of your widget.

6. Now open your Wix ADI and select “Add” at the top of your Wix page. Click Section To Page.
7. Select “HTML Embed” in the navigation bar.
8. Now click on the desired section design. Then enter the title, subtitle and paragraph. When you’re done, click the blue Settings button in HTML.
