 * 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](https://smashballoon.com/can-display-feed-facebook-group/)
   for more information.
