  Hi…wondering if the API for embedding Facebook on WordPress.com can be updated to include content in public groups. I find I have to link to this content instead of embedding it, currently.

  TIA :)

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

  Hi there,

  As that API belongs to Facebook, they’re the ones that will need to update it. We can only support embeds based on the options Facebook makes available, and they only allow posts from profiles and pages to be embedded on other sites.

  You can see Facebook’s documentation in that regard here:
