How to add Facebook Feed to a Magnolia CMS website

Embed Facebook Feed on Magnolia CMS

01

Create a Facebook Feed widget for Magnolia CMS on Common Ninja

First, create a Magnolia CMS Facebook Feed widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Facebook Feed and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Facebook Feed widget

When you're done creating the Facebook Feed widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Facebook Feed Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Facebook Feed widget to your Magnolia CMS website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Magnolia CMS website.

04

Paste the code to your Magnolia CMS website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Magnolia CMS website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Magnolia CMS’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Facebook Feed Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Facebook Feed widget on your Magnolia CMS website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Facebook Feed widget on your Magnolia CMS widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Magnolia CMS website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Facebook Feed widget to your Magnolia CMS website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Magnolia CMS website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Facebook Feed widget when your page on Facebook is an important channel for updates, events, or community activity and you want that presence reflected on your site. A live feed brings recent posts, images, and announcements into your own pages, keeping them fresh without extra work. This is valuable for local businesses, nonprofits, schools, and brands that run active Facebook communities. Visitors see proof that you are engaged and responsive, which builds trust. With clear post previews, users can scan quickly and click for more details. Embedding the feed also encourages more followers by showing the value of your Facebook content right where visitors already are.
