What’s new in Custom Facebook Feed Pro 4.14.0
Version 4.14.0
Latest
- NewReels can now open in a full-screen, swipeable player. Turn on Swipe View for Reels under Settings > Advanced; every other post keeps opening the lightbox as before.
- NewAn admin notice now warns you when a feed has been showing an old saved copy of your Facebook posts for several days because it can't fetch fresh content, and the weekly Feed Issue Email Report now covers this case too.
- NewAdded a Data Sharing settings tab where you can opt in to anonymous data sharing and in-plugin notifications.
- ImprovedRefreshed the About Us page.
- FixedFacebook source errors are now reported more accurately. Rate limits no longer show a false "Source Invalid" or reconnect prompt, a problem on one source is still reported when another is only being rate-limited, and feeds from a Facebook Page you don't manage are flagged as invalid again in the feed builder. Facebook API errors also come with clearer guidance on what to do.
- FixedA Facebook source that starts working again now clears its own error, so the critical-issue notice, admin menu badge, Site Health warning and weekly issue email no longer stay on for a problem that has been resolved. When the plugin does report a critical issue, the settings page now explains it.
- FixedThe "Action Required Within 7 Days" data-deletion warning now only appears while that deletion is actually scheduled, and the Settings page no longer fails to load on sites with an older stored error.
- FixedGDPR mode now serves album and multi-image post images from local copies before consent, detects Borlabs Cookie 3.x consent, and reliably blocks the Facebook CDN in "Automatic" mode.
What it does
Keeping a website in step with a Facebook Page usually means copying posts over by hand. This plugin connects to your Facebook source and shows that content on your site automatically, so new updates appear without extra work. You can build feeds for posts, photo galleries, videos, albums, events or reviews, and run several different feeds on different pages, each with its own settings. Likes, shares and comments can be shown alongside posts, which gives visitors a sense of the activity happening on your Page.
Setup is guided through a feed builder, with more than 12 pre-built templates and over 100 customization options for layout, colors, fonts and which post elements appear. Feeds are responsive across phones, tablets and desktops. You can place them with an Elementor widget, a Gutenberg block, a shortcode or a standard WordPress widget. A backup cache keeps a saved copy visible if Facebook can't be reached, health alerts and Site Health integration flag feed problems, and a GDPR mode works with popular consent plugins.
Best for
- Small businesses sharing Facebook updates on their website
- Bloggers who want social content alongside their posts
- Marketers and agencies managing client sites with Facebook Pages

Questions about Custom Facebook Feed Pro
What kinds of Facebook content can I show on my site?
You can display posts, photos, videos, albums, events and reviews. Video support covers HD, 360-degree and live broadcast videos, and Reels can open in a swipeable full-screen player. You can also run several feeds on different pages, each focused on a specific type of content.
Does it work with Elementor and the block editor?
Yes. The plugin includes an Elementor widget and a Gutenberg block, plus a shortcode and a standard WordPress widget. That means you can place a feed in a page builder layout, a block-based page, a sidebar or anywhere a shortcode works.
What happens if Facebook goes down or my connection breaks?
A backup caching system keeps a saved copy of your feed visible during Facebook downtime. If a feed keeps showing old content for several days, an admin notice and the weekly issue email let you know, and Site Health shows related warnings.
Can I use it on a site that needs GDPR consent?
Yes. GDPR mode works with popular consent plugins, including Borlabs Cookie 3.x. Before a visitor consents, it serves images from local copies and blocks the Facebook CDN in Automatic mode, so the feed can still display in a privacy-friendly way.
Is Custom Facebook Feed Pro free?
The code of Custom Facebook Feed Pro is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Custom Facebook Feed Pro is this?
Version 4.14.0, released Sep 30, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Custom Facebook Feed Pro?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Custom Facebook Feed Pro automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
