# Facebook Embeds not working

 * I’ve been trying to embed a facebook post into worpdress for the last 2 weeks.
   Tried everything I could get my hands on. Tried with our live site, tried offline
   with a WAMP install with a fresh Twentyfifteen theme. Nothing has worked thus
   far.
 * I’ve tried installing all the plugins I could find. I’ve tried all the manual
   methods. Still, when I try to embed a post in wordpress, the visual editor looks
   like it’s trying to pull something but comes up blank. Publishing the post doesn’t
   work either.
 * Anyone else having this issue?
