How to Display Facebook Statuses on Wordpress Blog

If you want to show your Facebook Statuses and you are hosting on a Wordpress.com blog that restricts you from installing plugins, try this.

Step 1

Step 2

Under Mini Feed, click on ‘Status Stories‘ on the right column. Scroll all the way to the bottom, look for ‘My Status‘

Step 3

Copy the link of My Status, and we are about to use this in Wordpress blog. Your link will look something like the following:

Step 4 (Wordpress)

Under Wordpress admin, Navigate to Design -> Widget. Look for RSS Widget, add it to your side bar.

Step 5

Paste the copied URL inside, give it a name, save and your Facebook statuses (or status depends on how many you display) will now appear on your Wordpress blog.

Nice tricks. But I prefer twitter as my main micro-blogging platform.

I added the feed widget to a Wordpess blog. After I moved the blog to a new server the Facebook feeds inside the feed widgets stopped working. Even after I created the feeds widget anew and renewed the link to the feed. Could this be a permission or PHP version issue? The new server runs PHP 4.4.7 and most widgets are working..

OK folks, after 2 days of looking for a way to do this, there is hope with the new 2009 Facebook layout to get your own status’ RSS feed:

In FB, go to your Inbox > Notifications page

At the bottom of the right column, there’s the link for the Notifications feed… right click on it and copy the link (or hit properties and copy the URL that shows up in the new window)

To test that it works, paste that URL into your browser and hit enter. (You’ll see your notifications feed show up)

In that URL, change ONLY the portion that stays “notifications.php” to “status.php” and hit enter.

WALLA! YOUR STATUS FEED! *do a little dance*
