## What is a WordPress Social Media Feed Plugin?

As the name suggests, a WordPress social media plugin lets you add social media feed to websites. These feeds can include your posts, entire timeline, audience interactions, and media from your social media accounts.

Unlike plugins that let you embed feeds from specific platforms, a social media feed plugin is your all-in-one solution to display all your accounts from different platforms, like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, etc., on a single social wall.

Tip: If you only need to display a single Instagram post on a page rather than a full live feed, the [Instagram Embed block](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/blocks/wordpress-instagram-embed/) is a lightweight alternative that works without an API connection.

Here is what a live social feed created using [Social Feed by Nexter Blocks](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/blocks/wordpress-social-feed/) looks like:

In most cases, these plugins are quite beginner-friendly. They work with the Gutenberg block editor and with the major page builders.

So, you can easily drag and drop them to your page and toggle different functions and customizations from the block settings.

## How We Picked These Social Media Feed Plugins

Every plugin below was checked against the WordPress.org plugin API on **17 August 2026** for its active install count, current version, last update date and the WordPress version it is tested against. Prices came from each vendor’s own pricing page on the same day, not from other comparison posts, because feed plugins are mostly subscription products and their prices move.

Two decisions are worth stating openly:

- **Tagembed was removed from this list.** Its WordPress.org listing was closed on 10 August 2026. The directory records the closure as temporary, pending a full review, so the plugin may well return, but you cannot install it from WordPress.org today. Juicer took its place in the multi-source social wall slot.

- **Single-platform plugins are out of scope.** This list covers plugins that pull several networks into one feed. If you only need one network, an Instagram-only or Facebook-only plugin will be lighter and cheaper, and the posts linked at the end cover those separately.

One thing we could not verify: Walls.io does not publish plan prices on its pricing pages, so no price is quoted for it below. The 14-day trial is confirmed on its own site.

### 2. Feed Them Social

![Feed Them Social plugin displaying a combined social media feed](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Feed-Them-Social-1.png)Feed Them Social keeps feeds inside WordPress with no external dashboard.

The next WordPress social feed plugin that is worth a try is Feed Them Social. It lets you create live feeds for your accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.

Feed Them Social is a freemium plugin, and its base version lets you display Facebook status updates and albums, Instagram feeds, tweets, and YouTube feeds.

However, you can purchase Feed Them Premium if you want to display Facebook pages, videos, and reviews.

You can also get extensions for adding carousels and creating combined streams for multiple social platforms on a single feed.

**Best for:** sites that want feeds handled entirely inside WordPress, with no external dashboard or per-view metering.

**Worth knowing:** it holds a 94 rating from 638 ratings, by far the largest review base in this comparison, and 20,000 active installs. It is a shortcode and widget plugin rather than a native block, so it sits less neatly inside a block theme.

#### Key Features of Feed Them Social

- **Facebook Feed: **You can add live Facebook feeds with your posts and albums in a page or grid layout. You can choose to hide your username, descriptions, and thumbnails.

- **Instagram Feed: **Feed Them Social’s Instagram feed lets you display user feeds and hashtag feeds. You can create multiple columns, adjust the image spacing, and tweak gallery width.

- **Twitter Feed:** With Twitter feed, you can add feeds for user accounts. It can also display media and embedded content. Besides, you can also add a search for hashtags, people, or words.

### 3. EmbedSocial

![EmbedSocial social media feed and reviews widget](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/EmbedSocial.png)EmbedSocial combines social feeds with customer reviews in one dashboard.

EmbedSocial is an ideal WordPress social feed plugin for marketers, agencies, and businesses. The free version of the plugin lets you add only a single widget and connect one platform.

But you can upgrade to a paid plan to unlock more feeds and social media platforms.

Apart from the social feeds, the EmbedSocial plugin has extensions for displaying media galleries and user-generated content like reviews. You can also moderate reviews and manage user-generated content from the plugin itself.

**Best for:** teams that want social posts and customer reviews pulled from one dashboard.

**Worth knowing:** the WordPress connector was last updated on 23 June 2025 and is tested only up to WordPress 6.8.8, the oldest listing here by more than a year. The hosted service is still active and shipping; it is the WordPress plugin specifically that has gone quiet.

#### Key Features of EmbedSocial Plugin

- **Facebook Feed:** The Facebook feed lets you display your posts, including status updates and images.

- **Instagram Feed:** The Instagram feed pulls and shows all your posts on your website.

- **Video Feeds: **This feed pulls your latest videos from platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, and TikTok and displays them on your website.

- **Customizable Layouts:** All feeds created using EmbedSocial have over ten customizable layouts.

- **Feed Analytics:** You can also access performance data for all your feeds to assess how your audiences engage with feeds.

#### Price of EmbedSocial

EmbedSocial has a free plan, and it is tighter than "one widget": EmbedSocial lists the free tier as 1 source and 500 views per month. Unlimited widgets are a paid-plan feature. However, you can subscribe to one of their paid plans to unlock more feeds. On its own pricing page today the Pro plan costs €24/month billed yearly, Pro Plus €40/month and Premium €80/month, all billed yearly. The figures are quoted in euros, not dollars.

### 4. Walls.io

![Walls.io social wall displaying aggregated posts](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Walls-io.png)Walls.io is built around event and campaign social walls.

The next social feed plugin for WordPress that you must try is Walls.io. It is a freemium plugin. However, the free plan only supports Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube and lets you add one source for each social media platform.

Upgrading to Walls.io Pro will unlock platforms like TikTok, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Reddit, and more. It also lets you add 15 sources for each platform on your feed. Besides, you can customize the look of your feeds and display custom content.

**Best for:** event and campaign social walls rather than a permanent widget on a marketing site.

**Worth knowing:** at 1,000 active installs it is the smallest listing here, and Walls.io does not publish plan prices on its pricing pages, so you have to ask for a quote before you can budget it.

#### Key Features of Walls.io Social Feed Plugin

- **Social Feeds: **You can create live feeds for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn.

- **Video Feeds:** You also get feeds for video platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Vimeo.

- **Custom Feeds:** Apart from the social media posts, you can display custom content like testimonials, product banners, etc., on your feeds.

- **Feed Styling Options:** You can customize the look and feel of your feeds by tweaking options like background, fonts, colors, etc.

- **Direct Posts with Spam Detection:** Your audiences can post directly on your feeds without using any social media platform. Also, the built-in spam protection prevents NSFW and spam.

#### Price of Walls.io Plugin

Walls.io offers a 14-day free trial, and its own FAQ confirms no credit card is needed to start one. After the trial the account becomes inactive until you pick a paid plan. Walls.io does not publish its plan prices on its website or digital signage pricing pages, so we are not quoting a figure here that we could not verify: ask them for a current quote.

### 5. Juicer

Juicer replaces Tagembed on this list. It is a hosted social wall service with a WordPress plugin front end: you connect your accounts in the Juicer dashboard, it aggregates them into one feed, and the plugin drops that feed onto your site with a shortcode or block.

On WordPress.org the plugin currently shows version 1.12.18, 8,000 active installs, a 84 rating from 29 ratings, and a last update of 25 May 2026 against WordPress 7.0.4.

What sets it apart from the other hosted options here is that its free plan is permanent rather than a trial, which makes it the easiest way to see whether a social wall earns its place on your page before you pay for one.

**Best for:** testing a multi-source social wall without paying for it first.

**Worth knowing:** the free plan is real but tight. Juicer lists it as 1 source, 1 feed, 300 feed views a month, a 24-hour refresh rate and Juicer branding on the feed. A 24-hour refresh means it is not a live feed on the free tier.

#### Key Features of Juicer

- **Multi-source aggregation:** pull several social accounts into a single wall instead of running one feed block per network.

- **Moderation:** automatic moderation is included from the Starter plan, and the Pro plan adds AI moderation, which matters when you are displaying a hashtag feed you do not control.

- **Refresh rate as a paid axis:** the refresh interval tightens as you move up the plans, from 24 hours on the free plan to 60 minutes on Lite and Starter and 10 minutes on Pro.

- **Feed view metering:** plans are sized by feed views per month, from 300 on the free plan to 5,000 on Lite and 20,000 on Starter, so a high-traffic page needs a bigger plan than a low-traffic one.

#### Price of Juicer

Juicer publishes a free plan at "$0 Forever", then Lite at $15 per month or $13.50 per month paid yearly, Starter at $25 per month or $22.50 paid yearly, and Pro at $99 per month or $89 paid yearly. Enterprise starts from $199 per month paid yearly.

## Which of These Work on a Free Plan?

This is the question most people are actually asking, and the honest answer is that "free" means two different things in this list.

The two WordPress-native plugins are free in the way WordPress users expect: you install them from the repository and they keep working, with a paid upgrade for extra sources and features.

- **Social Feed by Nexter Blocks:** the block sits under Nexter Blocks’ free blocks, and the Facebook source is free. Instagram, X, YouTube and Vimeo sources are Pro.

- **Feed Them Social:** free on WordPress.org with 20,000 active installs; Premium starts at $50/year for one site.

The three hosted services are a different shape. Their free tiers are metered, and the meters are the part comparison posts usually skip:

- **Juicer:** a permanent free plan, capped at 1 source, 1 feed, 300 feed views per month and a 24-hour refresh, with Juicer branding on the feed.

- **EmbedSocial:** a free plan capped at 1 source and 500 views per month.

- **Walls.io:** no free plan at all, only a 14-day trial.

Two numbers decide whether a hosted free tier survives contact with a real site: **feed views per month** and **refresh rate**. A feed on a page that gets a few thousand visits a month will burn through a 300-view or 500-view allowance quickly, and a 24-hour refresh rate means the feed you are advertising as live is a day old. If you want a feed that is genuinely free and genuinely live, the WordPress-native options are the safer answer, and a hosted wall is worth paying for when you need moderation across many sources.

## Which Social Media Feed Plugin Should You Choose?
