Overview
Adds support for embedding Facebook and Instagram posts in Block Editor (Gutenberg) and Classic Editor. This feature was removed in WordPress core due to deprecation of legacy APIs WordPress core used.
Prior to WordPress 5.5.1, WordPress had support to embed Instagram and Facebook photos, videos, notes, quizes, etc in posts created with Block Editor and Classic Editor. However, Facebook removed this legacy API in October 2020, and this plugin implements the new APIs to bring back support for Facebook and Instagram content embedding.
Note that you will need to register a Facebook developer account and create an app to get API credentials that this plugin uses. There is no coding necessary, but an API key needs to be created and set for the plugin.

Awesome

Facebook oEmbed needs app review. You need to ask for access to the API.
After that, this plugin works great!

It works well – make sure you register a Facebook App and get the ID and Key to use in the plugin.

The plugin solves the problem whit the Instagram and Facebook embed codes.
Works perfectly, and elegantly coded for MultiSite
by Jason LeMahieu (MadtownLems)·5 years ago
As the title suggests, this is written beautifully and works perfectly.
No bloat.
On-screen links to where you need to go at facebook and documentation.
And the ability to define keys in wp-config make it great for multisite.
