POWr Social Feed is the easy way to automatically show posts from social media on your website. Combine posts from Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, Vimeo, and more in a single gallery. Here’s how to create a social feed with POWr and add it to your Creator website.
Create your social feed
Why is a social feed important? It’s a great way to drive social engagement from your website visitors by leading them to follow you on your social media accounts.
You can also use the social feed during an event by showcasing a hashtag to all website visitors and encouraging them to partake in the event or initiative you’re hosting.
Creating a social feed and adding it to your Creator website is fairly easy. Simply head over here. A new page will appear where you can create your Social Feed plugin.
The POWr Editor will appear on the left-hand side of the screen. Here you will create and edit your plugin.
To connect a feed, go to the Connect menu. You can connect to the following types of feeds:
- Facebook: any event or business page. You cannot connect to a personal Facebook profile.
- X: any @handle or #hashtag.
- Instagram: your Instagram Business or Creator account. Personal accounts can no longer be connected.
- Pinterest: any Pinterest board.
- YouTube: any user, channel, or playlist.
- Vimeo: any user or channel.
- Flickr: any Flickr account.
- DailyMotion: any user.
- RSS: any RSS feed.
Good to know: The free POWr plan lets you connect one account or hashtag per feed. To combine several social media channels in a single gallery, you need a paid POWr plan. Instagram hashtags require an Instagram Business or Creator account that is connected to a Facebook Page.

Once it's ready, you can add it to your website, share it on social media or via email, or just save it for later in your POWr account.
