What is the Embed Widget
Have you visited a webpage or blog and noticed social media content embedded on the page? If yes, you're already familiar with the concept behind EveryoneSocial's Embed Widget.
In a couple of clicks, the Embed Widget creates the HTML code (iframe) you'll need to embed a post from EveryoneSocial in a website you own or manage. In addition, the Embed Widget does not share any private information about platform users.
When someone sees the Embed Widget on the webpage, they’ll see the post’s content, links, and images. Readers will also see the number of reactions to the post but can not see who reacted.
Here’s an example of the Embed Widget added to a site.
What you'll need
- Shareable post to copy the widget code. Click here to learn how to create a shareable post.
- Access to your website's editor to paste the widget code (iframe).

Paste Embed Widget code
Paste the copied code into your site's editor on pages you want the Embed Widget to display.Â
You will need to know how to add the Embed Widget code into the editor; if you do not have access, please provide your website administrator with the Embed Widget code so they can add the code (iframe) for you.
🔷 Note: Most websites support embedding external content using iframes, but instructions vary depending on the web editor used to manage the website. If you’re looking for the best location to paste your widget code (iframe), please connect with your website’s support team. They’ll be able to point you to the best location.
FAQ
What happens when someone who is not a user interacts with an embedded post??
Embedded posts act the same as the Public Post Page, as long as the post is a shareable post. You’ll be able to see the share copy and media. When you click the Share or Engage buttons, you’ll be taken to the Public Post Page where you can interact as a registered or unregistered user. Registered users can like, share, and see who engaged with the post. Unregistered users can see tallies for reactions and shares and can see the Share buttons.Â
If the post is private, then the Embed Widget will display the content and image, but, when clicked, the post will not be viewable, and unregistered users will be shown a screen with "Oh Smash! Something happened."Â
What happens if I embed the widget but the post is unavailable, removed, or deleted?
An alert will display if your embedded post is no longer available but the code remains on the site. Here’s an example of what readers would see.
I can see options to engage with an embedded post. What happens when someone takes action to like or share a post?
Great question! When someone engages with your post, they are taken to the post on EveryoneSocial to take those actions.
