⚠️ Meta (which includes Facebook, Instagram, and Threads) no longer supports WordPress’s automatic embed feature or offers native embed blocks. You’ll need to use a Custom HTML block and generate the embed code manually.

Step 1: Get the embed code from the social media platform

Instagram, Facebook, or Threads

  1. Go to the post in a browser (not in the app).

  2. Click the three dots (•••) on the top right of the post.

  3. Select Embed.

  4. Copy the full code provided (it usually starts with <blockquote> and includes a <script> tag).

Note: You may need to be logged in to a Meta account to access this feature. Threads uses the same embed tool as Instagram and Facebook.

X (formerly Twitter)

  1. Click the share icon on a tweet.

  2. Select Embed Post.

  3. Copy the code provided.

     

Step 2: Add a Custom HTML block in WordPress

  1. In the WordPress editor, click the + icon to add a new block.

  2. Search for and select Custom HTML.

  3. Paste your copied embed code into the block.

 

Step 3: Preview and publish

  1. Click Preview in the block to check how the post will look.

  2. If it looks good, publish or update your post.

Make sure to include the script portion of the embed code—some platforms require this to properly display the post.
