    What’s the best way to add feed from a Facebook page? Unfortunately FB has shut down RSS feed for pages.

    I read you need to register your site as an app, and then you are able to pull feeds as JSON. But does CyberSyn support JSON also?

    Another solution is with a group to rss app.
    With https://facebook-rss.herokuapp.com/rss/6427302910, I am able to see the feed and the content is succesfully pulled to my site via CyberSyn. The problem with this method is that the links back (link rel) to the original page are invalid. I think that method only works properly for groups, and not pages.

    I have found a solution for this. I can now successfully pull feeds from both pages, events and groups on FB to my WP site.

    The secret lies in that the following URL format works for both groups, pages and events: https://www.facebook.com/{PAGE-ID}/posts/{POST-ID}

    So in the loop where you print the feeds (I use index.php for that), just convert a URL like this:
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/{PAGE-ID}/?id={POST-ID} to the above mentioned format before you print the url, then print the new altered url instead of the default one.

    Fingers crossed that Facebook won’t shut this also down within the next 6 months.
