Hey DLWright,
I see what the issue is. You are attempting to create a feed for a “personal” page. You must use a Facebook Page.
Scroll to the bottom of this page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin
And look for “Supported Pages Checklist” – be sure your page meets those criteria.
I recommend creating a page that people can “like” and using that URL in the plugin. 🙂
Kind regards,
Dylan
Ok, thank you! this makes sense now.
I just installed SFPW, and this Facebook page is owned by someone, so it shouldn’t be a personal page:
https://www.facebook.com/notifications?id=258455977608927
Screenshot of FB Page Notification settings: https://goo.gl/TeRYJ9
The web site in which the FB feed is supposed to appear is: http://briarcliffwoods.org/
I’m making some progress, in that this URL works:
https://www.facebook.com/BriarcliffWoods
However, I can’t control the number of FB posts that appear.
I’m still getting this error using the following code:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/OldAntarcticExplorers/
Why won’t this work???
Hey OAEPauli,
This is a common reply in the forum and is answered in the FAQ. 🙂
I’ll reply with the normal response here.

Is there ANY way to put a link to a Facebook group on my WordPress site? There must be some widget that does that?
Hey OAEPauli,
Based on Facebook’s documentation, there is currently no way to display a Facebook group as a widget.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins
Think about this, if I visit your site and I’m not a member of the group, then how will Facebook know whether or not to display information to me? There are a lot of intricacies for verifying user authentication especially when dealing with someone else’s site (yours.)
If you are very interested in following along with the progress Facebook is making, then I recommend checking out their support forums : https://developers.facebook.com/tools-and-support/
I wish I could do more to help, but that’s Facebook’s call. 🙂
