In the Content tab, paste the URL into the Source URL field. The post loads in the editor.

Set height and publish

Set Height to match the post. 500px to 700px works for most posts. Click Update or Publish.

Click Update or Publish. Your social media post is now live on your WordPress site.

Posts from private accounts cannot be embedded. The account and post must be public.
