*UPDATED* Facebook and Instagram oEmbeds May Temporarily Stop Working

By Kat (SoCast) Oct 22, 2020 | 12:43 PM

Hello,

Starting October 24th, 2020 you may no longer be able to automatically embed Facebook and Instagram content in the text editor using the default methods due to a breaking change in the Facebook API.

We are working on a solution, and will update this post as we progress.

For more information please see: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed-legacy

If you have any questions, please reach out to the support desk: support@socastdigital.com

Thanks!

Update: October 28, 2020

Hello,

We have released an update that should resolve this. As a reminder, you can add Facebook and Instagram content with the following methods:

1. Using the Classic Editor: Copy the link to the Facebook/Instagram video or post. Then, using the “Visual” editor in a SoCast blog post, page or contest paste the link directly into the body of the editor.
2. Using the Backend Editor, Copy the link to the Facebook/Instagram video or post. Then, add a “Text Block” widget to the page and paste the link into the body of the widget.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the support desk: support@socastdigital.com

Thanks!
