In followup to the last reply, please go to this LINK to see the screenshots of the setup. I’m not sure if this is correct and would greatly appreciate your advise. A text link appears in the FOOTER of the website, but the goal is to have the Facebook feed appears there, as described here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin/

I like the idea of adding the code in the Custom JS Code. Thus preserving and not editing the footer.php file. However, when I paste the following into the Custom JS Code:

<div id=”fb-root”></div>
<script async defer crossorigin=”anonymous” src=”https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v5.0&appId=580653712672929&autoLogAppEvents=1″></script&gt;

I get an error that reads:
“Expected an identifier and instead saw “<“. Missing “;” before statement.”

Are you able to provide me with the accurate format to place this code?

Are you able to respond to my last question posted 5 days ago?
<p style=”box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 22px; color: #4b4d4d; font-family: Raleway; font-size: 14px;”>The other option for us would be to embed the image, with caption, in the post body. When we do this, the caption appears. However, ideally we want an image to appear on the Blog Masonry page [ https://planforaction.com/ideas-and-news/ ]. The only way we know to do this is to use the featured image setting. If we do that, the image appears twice on the post [https://planforaction.com/beautiful-brazil-caption-test/]</p>
<p style=”box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 22px; color: #4b4d4d; font-family: Raleway; font-size: 14px;”>So the question is, is there a method that allows us to have the image appear on the Blog Masonry page, that allows us to embed the image, with caption, in the post body, and does not allow the image to appear twice in the post?</p>

for the plugin you suggested,

the plugin documentation reads:

“In order for automatic captions to work, the theme you are using has to implement the featured image using the one of the WordPress functions the_post_thumbnail() or get_the_post_thumbnail().
If your theme does not support automatic captions as described, you have a couple of options.

Use the

theme function

 provided by this plugin, and place it in your theme’s code (or use a

child theme

) where you would like the caption information to appear.

Use the

shortcode

 to insert caption information into the post body.

would you please advise?

thanks – tested and it solved the problem.

Is there a plugin or alternative method of having captions appear for posts using featured image? The featured image is needed when using “Full Blog, Masonry Style” if we want the image to appear – which we do. But, if the caption does not appear, then we need to embed the image in the body of the post content which means it appears twice.
