  Hello there,

  Here is information about adding a Flickr feed:

  And more about Flickr embeds:

  An Instagram widget:

  A Facebook embed:

  Tumblr images cannot be embedded into your post. You’ll need to add the image to your media library in order to display it.

  I hope these support docs help. Please let me know if I can assist when you’re adding this media to your site.

  Thanks!

  Thank you for your swift reply!

  I’ve had a quick play with this and its getting towards where I want to be. The Facebook embed only drops a url link on the page so that’s not great. I don’t really want to use a widget or sidebar as it changes the layout of the page I have created. What I really want is a live feed from something like Facebook/Instagram, where I take a photo, upload it to a specific folder and the outcome shows on the page in word press. Is this possible, or do I have to manually add the photos to my media file on word press every time – which would be quite time consuming.. Thank you!

  Hey there!

  What I really want is a live feed from something like Facebook/Instagram, where I take a photo, upload it to a specific folder and the outcome shows on the page in word press. Is this possible, or do I have to manually add the photos to my media file on word press every time – which would be quite time consuming.

  Without using the sidebar feed, the process will be a bit more manual. However, I can save you a step — you won’t have to upload the image to your Media Library each time. How about embedding a Facebook image/post in this manner:

  Does that save you a bit of time?

  Let me know! Thanks much and take care.
