A couple of days ago I create a video tutorial on How to embed Facebook Content in Wordpress the method works great and is very straightforward.

BUT whenever you paste code or javascript into a Wordpress post or page via the text editor then switch back to the visual editor, something happens and the code gets altered/changed.

The only way to stop this from happening was to stay in text mode and this was somewhat annoying from people like me who prefer the visual editor.

I'd mentioned that I would show a few members one method you could use to get around this problem and would create a video tutorial. Well I created a tutorial for my Youtube channel and will likely create another to share within WA training.

PLEASE READ: As I mention in the video the plugin used to insert the shortcode hasn't been updated in a long long time, but that's possibly because it's a straightforward plugin that doesn't need to be updated.

So with that being said and just like with any other plugin you install, use at your own risk.
