This plugin adds a widget, a shortcode [recent_facebook_posts] and a template function recent_facebook_posts() to your WordPress website which you can use to list your most recent Facebook posts. This plugin works with public pages and to a certain extent with personal profiles.

Facebook Posts Widget

Render a number of most recent Facebook page updates in any of your widget areas using the Recent Facebook Posts widget.

Facebook Posts Shortcode

Display a list of your most recent Facebook posts in your posts or pages using the [recent_facebook_posts] shortcode. Optionally, specify some arguments to customize the output.

Features

  • SEO friendly. Your Facebook posts are rendered as plain HTML which means they are indexable by search engines, no frames or JavaScript is used.
  • High performance. Facebook posts are cached for a customizable period.
  • Customizable. Your Facebook updates will blend in with your theme perfectly and can be easily styled because of smart CSS selectors.
  • Easy Configuration, the plugin comes with a comprehensive installation guide and screenshots.
  • Translation ready!
