Widgets: Facebook Feed

Widget Categories: Social

A Facebook feed is a great way to give your visitors a glimpse into your Facebook community, invite
them to join your followers or prompt them to contact you via Facebook Messenger.

In order for your page’s feed to be displayed, the page must not be restricted. Any restriction, for
example, login required, age or location, will prevent the page from being displayed in the widget. To
learn more about Facebook page restrictions, see Facebook’s guide.

For information on adding widgets, see Add Widgets.

1. Type the Facebook Page URL in the field provided. You do not have to paste the entire link (for

FAQs and Troubleshooting

The Facebook Feed is not displaying when I use Safari on iPhone.

If you're not seeing a Facebook related widget on your site or editor in Safari, this is due to changes
with Facebook and Safari. Safari has added a 3rd party prevention switch that affects advertisers like
Facebook. This is not something Website Builder has control over and we are not able to fix it.

If the Facebook Feed is not displaying on another browser, this is due to Facebook changes that require
you to be logged into Facebook to view Facebook related content. To fix this, open a new tab, then log
into Facebook and refresh the page.

Facebook Feed is not displaying on mobile.

Facebook is having an issue with Feeds appearing on mobile sites. This is not a Website Builder issue.
