Embed a Social Media Post

COMMON USES

An iFrame is a popular content type that is shared across platforms. The coding itself points to an external website and doesn't help or count towards your search engine ranking as the content is technically not on your website. iFrame's have their benefits: ease of use and integration with other networks, but I'd recommend their use be limited to a complimentary role on pages and posts.

First...

Go to the source of the content that you want to embed (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram etc)
Find the share or embed button on the content that you want to share. It could be located in a menu or shown as a button such as
Copy the code that's provided

Then, go to the page or post that you want the content to appear on

Add a HTML Module to the Page or Post
Click on the + icon in the upper right corner.
Click and drag the HTML Module onto the page or post.

HTML settings

The HTML module has a General tab with a code editor and an Advanced tab, which has all the usual Advanced tab settings for margins, visibility, animations, and advanced HTML settings.

There is no Style tab. You can style the markup in this module in the following ways:

Apply inline styles in the code editor on the General tab
Apply CSS rules by adding a custom ID or class, either directly in the code editor or in the HTML section of the Advanced tab.

The ADVANCED tab

The Advanced tab offers nearly identical settings on all Drag & Drop Editor rows, columns, and modules.

Spacing section

For rows and columns, you can change the default margin and padding values. For modules, you can change the default margin values only.

Visibility section

In the Breakpoint field, you can set the row, column, or module to display or hide based on device size. In the Display field, you can choose to display the row, column, or module always, never, or only to logged-in or logged-out users.

Animation section

You can assign an entrance animation, which activates the first time the page is loaded and the row, column, or module comes into view. The default is None. If you choose an entrance animation, set the delay (how long before the animation starts, in seconds) and a duration (how long the animation lasts, in seconds.).

HTML Element section

You can choose a different HTML container element for the row, column, or module (advanced users only).
For example, for reasons of accessibility you might want to use an HTML container tag that has more semantic value than a <div tag, such as <section>.
Add a CSS ID or class value to the row, column, or module.
ID names must be unique on a page, so assign an ID only when you need to reference that unique ID. For example, a link to an anchor on the page requires a unique anchor so it know exactly where to go. Class names are usually intended for reuse and are often used in CSS rules. For example, you might want to assign a different text size to all HTML headings with an fl-heading class.
