We've now made it as easy as possible to share your organization's Facebook page via the Facebook Page Plugin.

The Facebook Plugin widget will automatically post updates and notices made on the Club's Facebook page and make them available on the page with the Plugin. 

Note: This widget is only for Facebook Pages. Facebook Groups do not work with Facebook's page plugin.

While designing the Club Home page or custom page,  the 'Facebook Plugin Widget' can be dropped onto the page from the 'Bulletin & PR' widget grouping in the designer.

When set with its custom properties, the plugin will work to show the Club's total Facebook likes, profile banner, and recent stories and pictures if enabled.

For more information on how to add this widget to a Custom page, please see the below steps:

1. Navigate to your Club website. Then click 'Member Login' at the top right.

2. After logging in click the 'Member Area' link in the top right of the organization home page.

3. Inside the member area, click ‘Website' in the top blue bar.
