Overview

Social Media Feed from Elfsight (listed on their site as Social Feed) combines posts from several networks into one wall on a Squarespace page. It is an embeddable widget hosted on Elfsight's platform rather than native Squarespace code. In Elfsight's editor you add sources from Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, X, Pinterest, Tumblr, LinkedIn or an RSS feed, in any combination, then choose a Grid, Masonry, List, Slider or Carousel layout. Each post card can show the author, date, source icon, text and a share button, and visitors can open posts in a popup without leaving your site. Squarespace has no native way to mix networks in one feed, which is the main reason to look at this widget.

Key features

  • Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, X, Pinterest, Tumblr, LinkedIn and RSS sources in one feed
  • Grid, Masonry, List, Slider and Carousel layouts
  • Five post card styles with switchable elements
  • Popup viewing in slider or endless feed mode
  • Per-source filters by keyword, hashtag, URL and date
  • Light and dark modes with a colour scheme generator
  • Free plan with Elfsight branding and view limits

Who it suits

Brands and agencies active on several networks who want one social wall on the homepage, event organisers pulling a hashtag from more than one platform, and anyone who prefers a single widget to maintain instead of one per network.

Honest limits

Refresh intervals vary by source and are not instant: Elfsight quotes roughly six hours for Facebook, 24 hours for YouTube and 48 hours for Instagram and X. Only public profiles can be shown, and Facebook Pages must be authorised through your Facebook login. Comments cannot be read inside the feed; the icon links back to the original post. Free-tier widgets carry Elfsight branding and monthly view limits, and the wall depends on Elfsight's servers, so it goes if your account lapses.

Installation on Squarespace

Connect your sources in Elfsight's editor, pick a layout, copy the embed code and paste it into a Squarespace code block where the feed should appear. Later edits in the editor update automatically.

FAQs

FAQs

What does the Elfsight Social Media Feed widget do on a Squarespace site?
It gathers posts from several networks, such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and YouTube, into one feed on your page with a choice of grid, masonry, list, slider or carousel layouts.
Is this native Squarespace code?
No. It is an embeddable widget hosted on Elfsight's platform. You configure it in Elfsight's editor and paste an embed code into a Squarespace code block.
How often does the feed update?
Each source refreshes on its own schedule. Elfsight quotes roughly six hours for Facebook, 24 hours for YouTube and 48 hours for Instagram and X, so posts do not appear instantly.
Do I need API keys or logins?
Most public sources such as Instagram accounts, hashtags and X do not need a login. Facebook Pages, Vimeo and VK must be authorised because of those platforms' API rules.
Can visitors read comments in the feed?
No. The feed shows a comments icon with a count, and clicking it opens the original post on the source platform.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Elfsight offers a free plan for this widget. Free-tier widgets include Elfsight branding and monthly view limits, which paid subscriptions remove.
