The first step to getting your Display up and running is adding a connection.  In this article we show you how to add and manage a Facebook Connection. For a complete list of Connection types please click here.

Contentfry supports the following Facebook Connections:

  • Pages (owned and public)

What about Facebook Hashtags?
Facebook does not allow to aggregate and display public posts from users by a hashtag anymore. However, contentfry is able to display public posts from users on your page and from under one of your posts and filter them by Hashtag.
