 * Hey musictomy,
 * Facebook doesn’t allow you to display content from closed Facebook groups outside
   of Facebook due to privacy restrictions. If a group is closed then it means that
   the content can only be accessed by members of that group, and so Facebook doesn’t
   allow you to display that content publicly outside of their platform as they 
   aren’t able to verify who’s viewing it.
 * Hopefully that makes sense. Just let me know if you have any further questions
   at all and I’d be happy to help.
 * John

 * I just wanted to follow up to let you know that I actually did some testing recently
   and found a way around this. Try the directions in [this FAQ](https://smashballoon.com/can-display-feed-facebook-group/)
   and let me know whether it works for you.
 * I hope you’re having a good week.
