Choosing the wrong one means rebuilding feeds when API access changes or paying more as your site count grows. However, neither Facebook nor WordPress, by default, offer you a way to embed a Facebook feed in WordPress. Fortunately, there are a handful of Facebook social feed plugins available to help you do the job effortlessly. In this guide, we compare the five best Facebook feed plugins for WordPress on features, layouts, and pricing. Features and pricing verified May 2026. Table of Contents ## What is a Facebook Feed Plugin? A Facebook social feed plugin is a tool that lets you embed your live Facebook feed on your website. If you just want to display a Facebook Page badge or follow button instead of a full live feed, Nexter Blocks also offers a dedicated [Facebook Reviews Badge block](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/blocks/wordpress-facebook-badge/) for that lighter use case, which is a Pro block rather than a free one. Whether you want to expand your reach, share company updates, advertise your product, or display interactive visual content from Facebook, a one-time set-up Facebook feed plugin is all you need. With a well-built Facebook plugin for WordPress, you get a range of unique features at your fingertips to create a custom Facebook feed to align with your brand. Moreover, a highly responsive plugin will automatically update your feed in real time. Here is a sample Facebook Feed embedded using the Facebook Social Feed block by Nexter Blocks: ![Sample Facebook feed embedded using Nexter Blocks Facebook Feed plugin on a WordPress site](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Facebook-Feed-embedded.png)A live Facebook feed embedded on a WordPress page using the free Facebook Feed block in Nexter Blocks. ## Benefits of Displaying a Facebook Feed on Your WordPress Website If you have a Facebook page where you connect with your audience and post company updates regularly, integrating it with your website is a welcoming attraction for the audience.

Here is exactly what we checked and when, so you can judge the list for yourself. - We pulled active installs, current version, last-updated date and user rating for all five plugins from the WordPress.org plugin API on 13 August 2026. All five are live in the repository, none are closed or abandoned.- We checked each vendor’s own pricing page the same day rather than reusing figures from the previous version of this post. That caught a real error: this article used to quote a 25-site Smash Balloon tier at a price that Smash Balloon does not sell, so it has been replaced with the four tiers the vendor actually lists.- Where a vendor does not publish a price to the open web, we say so rather than repeating a number we cannot source. That applies to Flow-Flow and Easy Social Feed here.- Ownership disclosure: Facebook Feed by Nexter Blocks is our own plugin, and it is the smallest in this list by install base at 10,000 against Smash Balloon’s 200,000. It is listed first for what it bundles into a free Gutenberg block, not because it won a test.- The numbers 1 to 5 are the order we present them in, not a scored ranking. Every install count, rating and update date is in the table below so you can weigh them against our reasoning.- We dropped the “Tested” label this post used to carry in its title. No hands-on test of all five plugins against a live Facebook Page sits behind this article, so the claim did not belong there. ## Best Facebook Feed Plugins for WordPress Compared Here are the best WordPress Facebook feed plugins: | Plugin | Type | Best for | Price | Active installs | Last updated | | ------ | ---- | -------- | ----- | --------------- | ------------ | | Facebook Feed by Nexter Blocks | Free Gutenberg block inside a block library | Gutenberg sites that want a feed plus 90+ other blocks | Free; Nexter Blocks Pro from $39/yr | 10,000 | 7 Aug 2026 | | Feed Them Social | Multi-network shortcode plugin | Multi-network feeds with clear per-site tiers | Free; Premium $50/yr (1 site) to $199/yr (unlimited) | 20,000 | 22 May 2026 | | Flow-Flow Social Stream | Multi-network aggregator gallery | One filterable gallery across many networks | Free; Pro price not published by the vendor | 8,000 | 20 Jul 2026 | | Easy Social Feed | Skin and template driven feed plugin | Prebuilt skins and a Facebook-style lightbox | Free; Pro price not published to the open web | 30,000 | 20 Jul 2026 | | Smash Balloon Social Post Feed | Dedicated Facebook feed plugin | The safest, most widely used default | Free; Pro list $98/yr (1 site) to $598/yr (all access) | 200,000 | 10 Aug 2026 | Active installs, update dates and ratings from the WordPress.org plugin API; prices from each vendor’s own pricing page. Both checked 13 August 2026. Here is how each plugin compares on features and pricing. ### 1. Facebook Feed by Nexter Blocks **Best for Gutenberg sites that want a free Facebook feed plus the rest of the block library:** the Facebook Feed block is free, and it arrives alongside 90+ other blocks rather than as a standalone plugin. Smallest install base here at 10,000, highest user rating at 96/100 from 90 reviews. ![Facebook Feed by Nexter Blocks plugin homepage](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/image-79-1024x536.png)The Facebook Feed block page on nexterwp.com, showing the grid, masonry and carousel layout options. The first plugin on our list is the [Facebook Feed by Nexter Blocks](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/blocks/wordpress-facebook-feed/). This plugin is a user-friendly and feature-packed tool that offers a simple and easy way to embed Facebook posts in WordPress. What makes this plugin stand out from the rest is its wide variety of highly responsive, pre-built design layouts, including grid, carousel, and masonry layouts that will look great on screens of any size. The plugin allows you to create unlimited feeds from different Facebook groups and pages on your website. You can experiment with the design, colors, typography, content, font, and icon size, choose the types of content to display, and more. It is lightweight and extremely easy to install, where everything from initial installation to design and optimizing page performance is taken care of by the plugin. This means you don’t need to fill up any technical knowledge to boost your website experience with this plugin. If you want to combine several networks in one place, the same library ships a [Multi Social Feed](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/blocks/wordpress-multi-social-feed/) block that merges 5+ social feed types into a single feed. Worth being clear about the tiers: the Facebook Feed block itself is free, while Multi Social Feed is a Pro block, so combining networks is a paid upgrade rather than something the free version does. ![Multi Social Feed block in Nexter Blocks showing combined social media feed from multiple platforms](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Screenshot-2023-04-27-115806.png)The Multi Social Feed block combining several social networks into one feed. This is a Pro block, not part of the free version. #### Key Features of Facebook Feed by Nexter Blocks - **Grid Layout: **The grid layout lets you display your Facebook feed in a grid style with different sizes and shapes. You can add multiple columns, choose the type of content you want to show, customize color schemes, pop-up features, and more on your Facebook feed. - **Masonry Layout:** Masonry layout is a grid layout where you can arrange your Facebook feed in tiles of different sizes. If your Facebook page is heavy on media content, you can use the masonry layout to add an aesthetic appeal to your feed on the website. - **Carousel Layout:** Make your Facebook feed even more interactive and easy to navigate on your website with the carousel layout. The carousel layout allows visitors to browse your Facebook page easily by dragging the cursor to view the posts. Thus enhancing how they interact with your website and creating an engaging user experience. - **Load More Option:** With the Facebook feed plugin from Nexter Blocks, you can limit the maximum number of results you want to show on the feed. It lets you decide how the next posts will load on the website with multiple scrolling options. The load more option lets you add a button where the visitor can see the next posts only by clicking the button. Further, with the load more button option, you can customize the button text and the loading text as you want. - **Lazy Load Option: **With the lazy load option, the feed will automatically load to show the next few posts from the feed. - **Manage Columns Option:** Nexter Blocks’ Facebook Feed plugin lets you choose the number of post columns you want to show, depending on your website layout. In addition, you can also customize the size and gap between the columns to maximize the feed’s visual appeal. - **Pop-up Feature:** You can also add the pop-up feature within your layouts to allow the website visitor to click on a particular post and view it as a pop-up. With this feature, viewers can also swipe to browse through the posts on your feed without having to leave the page. *Interested to learn more?

Nexter Blocks reports 10,000 active installs on WordPress.org with a 96/100 user rating from 90 reviews, which is the highest rating but the smallest install base in this comparison.

Feed Them Social **Best for multi-network feeds with transparent per-site pricing:** the only plugin in this list that publishes a full site-count price ladder, from $50 for one site to $199 for unlimited. 20,000 active installs and 94/100 from 638 reviews. **Worth knowing:** at 22 May 2026 it has the oldest last-updated date of the five, roughly three months behind Smash Balloon. ![Feed Them Social WordPress plugin homepage](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Feed-Them-Social-1.png)The Feed Them Social plugin homepage on slickremix.com. Next on this list is the Facebook feed WordPress plugin, Feed Them Social, a useful tool for WordPress users looking to display feeds from different social media channels. The plugin supports feed display from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter using short codes on Gutenberg. With the free version of the plugin, you can create a decent Facebook feed for your website and display videos, posts, images, or even Facebook albums on your WordPress page, posts, or the sidebar. However, several features, including image animation, responsive layouts, pop-up features, and more, are only accessible when you upgrade to the pro version. In addition, the free version also limits the number of posts, videos, and pages for every feed. #### Key Features of Feed Them Social - **Responsive Interface:** It has a highly responsive and simple interface that lets you create a mobile-ready Facebook feed on your website. - **Customization Options:** While you can customize the feed layout, colors, and text and add icons with the free version, the premium version offers custom features, including image animation, pop-up box, grid-style layout, and more. - **Load Options:** You can add a ‘load more’ button or the auto load post feature to make the feed visually interesting. #### Pricing of Feed Them Social Feed Them Social Premium is priced per site count and billed once per year until cancelled: $50 for a single site, $75 for 2 to 5 sites, $150 for 6 to 25 sites, and $199 for unlimited sites.

Flow-Flow Social Stream **Best for combining many networks into a single filterable gallery:** the free version pulls several networks into one stream with search and filter controls, which none of the others do in the free tier. **Worth knowing:** it carries the lowest user rating in this comparison at 66/100 from 100 reviews, and the smallest install base at 8,000, so read the recent reviews before committing a client site to it. ![Flow-Flow Social Stream WordPress Facebook feed plugin homepage](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Flow-Flow-Social-Stream.png)The Flow-Flow Social Stream product page on social-streams.com.

Easy Social Feed **Best for prebuilt skins and a Facebook-style lightbox:** the built-in templates get you a presentable feed without styling it yourself, and the lightbox mimics the Facebook UI. 30,000 active installs and 92/100 from 501 reviews. **Worth knowing:** the free version only embeds one social feed at a time. ![Easy Social Feed plugin homepage for WordPress](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Easy-Social-Feed.png)The Easy Social Feed plugin page, showing its prebuilt feed skins.

Plus, it has a lightbox feature that allows your website visitors to view the feed content easily in an advanced lightbox pop-up that mimics Facebook.

We are not quoting the $39/year and $99 lifetime figures this post carried before, because we could not confirm them at the source. Check the vendor pricing page directly.
