Hi,

Is it possible to embed a Facebook post within a Forum post?

The code I have is:

<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgofishingni%2Fposts%2F598836550310375%3A0&width=500" width="500" height="536" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

Many thanks!

You'd need to create a MyCode (something like [facebook]), in the ACP. There's some documentation here that may help: https://docs.mybb.com/1.6/MyCode/

Could you explain in more detail?

Try this:

Add a new MyCode in ACP

Regular Expression:
\[fbpost\](.*?)\[/fbpost\]

Replacement:
<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=$1&width=500" width="500" height="536" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

Save the new MyCode and test it in a forum post, like:
[fbpost]https://www.facebook.com/gofishingni/posts/598836550310375[/fbpost]

I'm afraid this doesn't seem to work. Is there something I am missing?

Please check the MyCode in ACP (no whitespaces in front or back of regular expression)

It works for me like charming:
