Overview
Feed Them Social by SlickRemix is one of the few free plugins that covers several networks in one place. Feeds are saved as their own items with a full-screen editor and live preview, and can be added with a shortcode, Gutenberg block, Elementor or Beaver Builder module, or widget.
The free plugin connects Instagram business or creator accounts, Facebook pages (posts, album photos and album covers), TikTok profiles and YouTube channels or playlists. It includes responsive column settings, like and follow buttons, share buttons, colour options and cached feeds with a selectable cache time and a cron job that clears old cache. Free feeds show a limited number of posts, with more than six requiring an upgrade.
Extensions
Paid features come as separate extensions. The Premium extension adds Instagram hashtag feeds, popups for photos and videos, load more, Facebook grid and video feeds and extra YouTube options. TikTok Premium unlocks more TikTok posts, layouts and popups. Combined Streams merges Facebook, Instagram and YouTube into one date-ordered feed, and there are Facebook carousel and Facebook reviews add-ons. The All Access Pass bundles every extension for unlimited sites at $199 a year.
- Four networks in one free plugin
- Builder modules for Elementor and Beaver Builder
- Affordable all-in-one bundle
Limitations
Twitter/X support has been removed. There is no moderation, shoppable linking, local image storage or GDPR consent mode, and caching relies on the cache expiring rather than background refreshes. Combined Streams only takes one feed per network, and Facebook features depend on Meta API changes that have broken some feed types in the past. The add-on model can be confusing compared with tiered plans.
Who should pick it: sites that want Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube feeds from one plugin on a small budget, and are comfortable with fewer polish and privacy features.
Best for: Budget sites that want several networks, including Facebook and TikTok, from a single free plugin.
Feed Them Social is the broadest free multi-network option here, and the All Access Pass is fair value for a social wall. It trails the leaders on polish, privacy and moderation, so it suits sites that care more about coverage than refinement.

How many sites use Feed Them Social?
Free installs from WordPress.org, the vendor's own claim, and our estimate of paid installs.
Free version (WordPress.org)
20K+
Active installations reported by WordPress.org.
Vendor claim
20K+
Sites/users claimed on the vendor's website. source
Estimated Pro / paid installs
~1.8K
Our estimate, see method below.
How we estimated this: WordPress.org shows 20K+ free installs, which could mean anything from 20K to 30K. The vendor says 20K+ sites, so we put the free count halfway between the middle of that range and the vendor figure, at about 23K. About 23K free installs x 8% (the usual share of free sites that also run the paid version when some key features are paid) gives 1.8K. Likely range: 900 to 3.6K. This counts sites running the paid version, including sites whose licence has lapsed. Estimates are rough and based on public figures as of 14 Oct 2026.
