Facebook Feed Features

NEW: Now Supports Facebook oEmbeds
With WordPress removing support for Facebook oEmbeds, the plugin will now automatically power any Facebook embeds on your site preventing them from breaking. No developer app required.

Super Simple to Set Up
One of our main priorities has always been to make our Facebook plugin as easy as possible to setup and use. Get up and running in less less than 1 minute with our signature quick setup – no Facebook Developer App required.

Display Feeds from Your Facebook Page
Use the plugin to display Facebook feeds from a Facebook page that you are an admin of.

Completely Customizable
By default the Facebook feed will adopt the styles of your WordPress theme, but your feeds can be completely customized to look however you like using our visual feed customizer – with tons of options to customize every part of your Facebook posts and feed.

Elementor and Divi Ready
Custom Facebook Feeds has a built in Elementor and Divi block for easy page building. Simply launch your Elementor or Divi builder and find the related Custom Facebook Feed block in the sidebar like any other block.

SEO Friendly
The Facebook feed content is crawlable by search engines adding SEO value to your site, while other Facebook plugins embed the feed using iframes which are not crawlable.

GDPR Compliant
Automatically integrates with many of the popular GDPR cookie consent plugins and includes a 1-click easy GDPR setting.

Responsive and Mobile Optimized
Facebook feed layouts look great on any screen size and in any container width.

Unlimited Feeds from Unlimited Different Facebook Pages
We don’t limit how many Facebook feeds you can display on your site. Just use the shortcode to embed as many Facebook feeds as you like into pages, posts or widgets anywhere on your site.

Built for Speed
Built-in caching means that your Facebook feeds load lightning fast. Set your own caching time – check for new Facebook posts every few seconds, minutes, hours or days. You decide.

Like Box Widget and Visual Header
Include the official Facebook Like Box widget at the top or bottom of your Facebook feed and display a beautiful visual header with your Facebook page or cover photo, profile picture, bio, and number of likes.

So Much More
Show and hide certain parts of each Facebook post, choose whose posts to show in the feed, customize colors, font sizes and styles, the number of Facebook posts to display, set max text lengths, translate text, custom CSS, and much, much more.

Pro Version (Custom Facebook Feed Pro)

In order to maintain the free version of the Custom Facebook Feed plugin on an ongoing basis, and to provide quick and effective support for free, we offer a Pro version of the plugin. Custom Facebook Feed Pro allows you to display photos, videos, the number of likes, shares, reactions and comments for each Facebook post, choose from multiple layout options, filter Facebook posts by type or #hashtag/string, load more Facebook posts into your feed, and more.
