Facebook embeds not working
-
So, for some reason I can’t manage to make the facebook embeds to work.
Following this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/facebook-embeds/ (which was Last reviewed on December 12, 2025)
The embed block is not able to render the facebook post.
I am missing something?

The documentation you mentioned refers to wordpress.COM. You are here at ww.wp.xz.cn. The difference is explained here:
What’s the difference between ww.wp.xz.cn and WordPress.com?
Which platform are you using for your project?
@threadi I’m using ww.wp.xz.cn, self-hosted wordpress
What is described in the article is not native there. However, the article also contains the following note:
If you’re missing the Facebook Page Plugin widget, it’s likely you are running a ww.wp.xz.cn website. Install the free Jetpack plugin to add the Facebook Page Plugin widget to your site.
So if you want exactly what you see there, you need to install the Jetpack plugin. If you have any questions about this, there is a support forum for this plugin here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/jetpack/
Alternatively, you can also use one of the other plugins that should allow you to integrate a Facebook page in this way: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/tags/facebook-page/
Thank you for the fast reply @threadi, however I’m not insterested in adding new plugins at the moment, specially for such a small feature. So there is no native support, right? The feature should be developed
If you consider this necessary, you are welcome to bring it up with the developers. The Gutenberg team would probably be best suited for this, as it involves the development of a block: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues
