  I copy the embed code from FB and paste it into a new post, but it just shows as characters and not the post. What am I doing wrong?

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

  Hi there!

  Instead of using the Embed from Facebook, copy the URL of the facebook post. Then paste that URL into your WordPress post, page, or Text widget.

  Instructions on how to find that URL and use it, including screenshots, here:

  Let me know if that helps or you hit any other snags. :)

  Sorry, I don’t understand how to get the URL of the FB POST … I can get the FB page URL, but not the POST URL.

  Does that make sense? (for the slow people like myself)

  Hi Colette,

  Not a problem! Whenever you click on the Time+Date of a post, you get brought to that post’s specific URL. Then you can just copy the URL from your browser’s Address bar

  Here’s a quick video example:
