Why Embed a Facebook Status in WordPress?<\/h2>\n

How to Embed Your Facebook Status in WordPress<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Facebook\u2019s Embed<\/strong> functionality is available for all public posts. This means that you can embed any public post into your website, not just your own status.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Embedding involves copying and pasting a piece of code. You will know whether a Facebook status is public or not by the globe (Public)<\/strong> icon next to the time of publication. If you hover over it, you will see its sharing settings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]

\n
\n \"Public <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”38px”][vc_column_text]In order to get the embed code, click the menu icon (\u00b7\u00b7\u00b7) and select Embed<\/strong>. The exact contents of this menu may vary. If you can\u2019t find the Embed<\/strong> option, this means that the owner of the post has disabled it and you are out of luck.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]
\n
\n \"Embed <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”38px”][vc_column_text]Finally, click the Copy Code<\/strong> button to, you guessed it, copy the embed code you need.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]
\n
\n \"Copy <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”38px”][vc_column_text]In order to make the post appear on your website, you need to paste that code into an appropriate area. We will show you how to do it with Gutenberg<\/strong>, as part of a post, but it will work much the same for pages and widget-ready areas of your website.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]We have started with a new post and some trusty old Lorem Ipsum placeholder text<\/a>, but you can, of course, embed your chosen post anywhere on your website. In order to add a block to your post, click the plus (+<\/strong>) icon and select the Custom HTML<\/strong> block.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]
\n
\n \"Custom <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”38px”][vc_column_text]The last thing you need to do is paste the code you have copied into the body of the HTML block. Once you have done that, you can save your post and the Facebook status you want to share will be embedded for your visitors to view.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]
\n
\n \"Embed <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”38px”][vc_column_text]You can see that our Facebook status is now embedded between two blocks of text. If they are logged into a Facebook account, your visitors can now even interact with it (like, comment or share it) without leaving your website.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]
\n
\n \"Facebook <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”38px”][vc_column_text]We have used the Custom HTML<\/strong> block. But you might not be using the default Gutenberg editor. If you are using Elementor<\/strong>, you need the HTML element, while, if you are a Classic Editor<\/strong> user, you can simply paste the code where you need it provided you are editing in the HTML mode.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”68px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
