  Embedding Facebook updates with URLs or shortcodes no longer works on WordPress.com blogs.

  The issue was first raised and broached on May 15, 2015, 2:32 PM at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/embedding-facebook-updates-with-urls-or-shortcodes-no-longer-works?replies=9

  The embedding does not work regardless of whether the URL has “post” or “photo” in it, for the following features are completely absent.

  • The update’s text.
  • Action buttons allowing readers to like, comment on, and share the update without leaving your site.
  • A media preview of images or videos in or linked in the update.

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

  Hello @soundeagle –

  This has since been fixed, it was actually a separate issue than the one from May. Facebook embeds should be working now.
