Q. What information will display in my Facebook feed widget?
The information shared through a FeedWind Facebook widget is from your Facebook newsfeed which can include:
Posts – which include the following elements:
- Primary image/video
- Post title
- Post content (either as an excerpt for Thumbnail style, or in full for HTML style)
- Date/time
Q: I receive an error message about admin privileges when I copy a URL. How do I fix this?
Users must authenticate with a Facebook account that has an admin role of the Facebook Page to display it on a widget. If you don’t have an admin role of the Facebook Page, please ask the Admin of the Facebook Page to assign an Admin role. Here are the details about Page roles. https://www.facebook.com/help/187316341316631
Q. How do I change the thumbnail size for my Facebook feed widget?
You can change the thumbnail size only if you have a Pro or a Plus plan. You just need to create a custom CSS, and then set your desired dimensions of the thumbnail image. Here is an example of CSS which will change thumbnail dimensions:
#fw-fb-feed-items .fw-fb-feed-item-image {
height: 120px;
width:120px;
}
Q. How do I customize my Facebook news feed widget?
If you have a Pro or a Plus plan, you can use CSS to fully customize your Facebook widget so it matches your design needs. To find out more about customization, please read our Facebook widget CSS guide.
Q. What types of Facebook feeds can the FeedWind widget display?
You can display the newsfeed from a personal page, business page or other type of organization.
Q. I created a Facebook widget and there is no content displayed – what’s the problem?
If you have created a Facebook feed widget and there is no content displaying, it could be for one of the following reasons:
- There is no content in the newsfeed for that page.
- Your Facebook page is not publicly available (fix this).
- You have used incorrect CSS to style your Facebook news feed widget.
- If none of the above, please contact our support team.
Q. What is the Feed URL I need to enter in the setup screen?
To use our Facebook newsfeed widget you will need the URL of the Facebook page which you would like to display. This can be a personal page or an organization/business page etc.
For example, our Facebook page URL is https://www.facebook.com/FeedWind/. This would be the URL to use if you were creating a widget for our Facebook feed.
Q. Can FeedWind display multiple images from a single post?
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible for your widget to display multiple images from a Facebook post. If your post has multiple images/videos, your widget will display the first image/video available.
