How to add Social Media & RSS Feeds to a PhotoShelter portfolio

Embed Social Media & RSS Feeds on PhotoShelter

01

Create a Social Media & RSS Feeds widget for PhotoShelter on Common Ninja

First, create a PhotoShelter Social Media & RSS Feeds widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Social Media & RSS Feeds and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Social Media & RSS Feeds widget

When you're done creating the Social Media & RSS Feeds 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 Social Media & RSS Feeds Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Social Media & RSS Feeds widget to your PhotoShelter portfolio, 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 PhotoShelter portfolio.

04

Paste the code to your PhotoShelter website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your PhotoShelter portfolio 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 PhotoShelter’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Social Media & RSS Feeds Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Social Media & RSS Feeds widget on your PhotoShelter portfolio.

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 Social Media & RSS Feeds widget on your PhotoShelter 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 PhotoShelter portfolio’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 Social Media & RSS Feeds widget to your PhotoShelter portfolio. You can do this by putting it straight into your PhotoShelter portfolio's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Social Media & RSS Feeds widget when you want your site to stay fresh automatically without constant manual updates. It pulls new posts, articles, or updates from your chosen sources and presents them in a consistent layout that feels native to your site. This is useful if you publish actively on social platforms, run a blog, or curate content from trusted sources and want visitors to see your latest activity at a glance. By embedding live feeds, you show that your brand is active and up to date, encourage deeper exploration, and reduce the risk that pages start to feel stale. It also saves time by reusing content you already produce elsewhere.
