Step-by-Step Facebook & Instagram Account Connection in Easy Social Feed

After installing and activating Easy Social Feed, the next important step is connecting your Facebook and Instagram accounts.

This connection allows the plugin to securely fetch your social media posts and display them on your website automatically.

Don’t worry, the process is simple and only takes a few minutes.

Let’s walk through it step by step.

Why Do You Need to Connect Your Accounts?

Before we begin, it’s important to understand why this step matters.

Connecting your social accounts allows Easy Social Feed to:

Display live Facebook posts
Show Instagram photos, videos, and reels
Automatically update new content
Maintain secure API access
Improve feed reliability and performance

Without connecting your accounts, the plugin cannot fetch your social content.

How to Connect Your Facebook Account

Follow these steps carefully:

Step 1: Go to Easy Social Feed Settings

In your WordPress dashboard:

Click Easy Social Feed
Navigate to the Connect Account section

You will see the option to connect to Facebook.

Step 2: Click “Connect Facebook Account”

Click the Connect Facebook button.

You will be redirected to Facebook’s official login page.

This ensures the connection is secure and authorized directly through Facebook.

Step 3: Log in to Your Facebook Account

Enter your Facebook login details
Click Continue

Make sure you log in using the account that manages the Facebook Page you want to display.

Step 4: Grant Permissions

Facebook will ask you to allow permissions such as:

Access to your pages
Permission to read page content
Access to public profile information

Click Allow or Continue to approve.

These permissions are required to display your page feed.

Step 5: Select Your Facebook Page

If you manage multiple pages, you will be asked to select the page you want to connect.

Choose the correct page.

Click Done.

Step 6: Connection Successful

Once completed, you’ll be redirected back to your WordPress dashboard.

You should now see:

Facebook account connected
Page name displayed
Status showing “Active”

Your Facebook feed is now ready to use.

How to Connect Your Instagram Account

The process is similar and just as easy.

Step 1: Go to the Accounts Section

Inside your WordPress dashboard:

Easy Social Feed → Accounts

Click Connect Instagram Account

Step 2: Make Sure You’re Using the Correct Instagram Account Type

Before logging in, it’s important to understand that Instagram offers two main types of accounts:

Personal Account
Professional Account (Business or Creator)

For the best performance and stable connection, we strongly recommend using a Professional account (Business or Creator).

Step 3: Authorize Access

Instagram will request permission to:

Access your media

Read profile information

Click Allow to continue.

These permissions are necessary for displaying your Instagram feed on your website.

Step 4: Confirm Successful Connection
