    does this plugin still working on Facebook Group? coz im having problem displaying the feed im getting this error 

    Unable to display Facebook posts.
Error: Unsupported get request. Object with ID '279037458938688' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api
Type: GraphMethodException
Code: 100

    everything is working fine if ill use page instead of group or the group should be set to Public? coz most groups are not set to public its either closed or secret

    The plugin does work with Groups but the group cannot be restricted (a closed group or secret group). The reason for this is because of Facebook itself and their privacy policies which controls what data is sent through their API to a plugin.

    If Facebook allowed data from a closed or secret group to be sent through their API to a web site feed display where the possibility exists that the entire world could now see the data content of that Group (or any other Facebook accounts with restrictions in place) then it would defeat the purpose of being “Closed” or “Secret” in the first place. Putting the data on a website page outside of Facebook means anyone could otherwise see the data.

    I just wanted to follow up to mention one possible workaround for this. While David’s response is correct, there is sometimes a way to workaround this restriction and display posts from a Closed group by using a “User” Access Token from an admin of the group. This doesn’t work for Secret groups though. See this FAQ for more information.
