Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the plugin?

You have two ways to use it:

  1. Shortcode: Use the [ronfacebook] shortcode in any post, page, or text widget.
  2. Widget: Go to “Appearance > Widgets” and add the “Ron Social Page Embed” widget to any widget area (like your sidebar or footer).

Do I need a Facebook App ID or API Key?

No. This plugin works without needing any App ID or complicated setup. You just need the URL of your Facebook page.

What is the shortcode and what are its options?

The basic shortcode is [ronfacebook]. This will use the default Facebook Page URL you set in Settings > Ron Social Page Embed.
For more control, you can use the full shortcode: [ronfacebook pagelink=”https://facebook.com/yourpage” width=”100%” height=”600″ show_posts=”true” show_cover=”true” show_facepile=”true” small_header=”false”]

  • pagelink: The full URL of your Facebook page.
  • width: The width of the embed. You can use pixels (e.g., 500 or 500px) or percentages (e.g., 100%).
  • height: The height in pixels (e.g., 600). Leave blank to let Facebook decide.
  • show_posts: Set to true to show the page’s timeline. Set to false to hide it.
  • show_cover: Set to true to show the cover photo. Set to false to hide it.
  • show_facepile: Set to true to show profile pictures of people who like the page.
  • small_header: Set to true to use a smaller header.

How do I find the Shortcode Generator?

Go to your WordPress dashboard, then navigate to Settings > Ron Social Page Embed. You will find a generator that builds the shortcode for you.

Why isn’t my Facebook page showing up?

Please check these common reasons:

  • Correct URL: Make sure you have the full and correct Facebook Page URL (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/facebook).
  • Page Restrictions: Your Facebook page might have age or country restrictions. If a visitor is not logged into Facebook or doesn’t meet the criteria, the page box may not show for them.
  • Try viewing your site in a private/incognito browser window to see what the public sees.
  • Page Publishing: Make sure your Facebook Page is published and visible to the public.
