  Hi,

  Is there a way to embed Facebook albums into a blog post without having to manually upload all the photos into WordPress? I read through this help guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-integration/facebook-embeds/ and I can’t even embed a status update either.

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Currently, it isn’t possible to embed a Facebook album into a blog post at WordPress.com. If you wanted to display all of the photos, you would need to upload them.

  However, you should be able to embed a status. I believe you’re having trouble with this status:

  To get this to work correctly, first, let’s remove the embed shortcodes currently bookending the link. Then, you’ll need to make sure the Facebook URL is going to an actual status update (not a photo). More details on this can be found at the last bullet point here:

  Let me know if you’re still having trouble after those steps!
