Is your Divi site looking polished but not getting the trust or engagement you expected? That’s a common pain point. Even with beautifully designed layouts, visitors may hesitate to engage if they don’t see real interaction or proof of activity.
Adding a live social media feed solves that by showcasing your latest Instagram or Facebook content directly on your site. It shows visitors that your brand is active and trusted. With Wisernotify, you can embed a real-time social feed in Divi quickly and with no technical fuss.
Why Add Social Media Feed on Divi?
Divi’s drag-and-drop interface is perfect for creative freedom, but you still need social proof to build trust. Here’s why integrating a social feed is a smart move for Divi users:
Show Visitors You’re Active: A social feed filled with real-time posts signals to visitors that your brand is current, reliable, and engaged with its audience.
Add Motion to Static Layouts: Divi modules are stylish, but many layouts feel static. A dynamic Instagram or Facebook feed adds life and movement to the page.
Increase Trust Through UGC: User-generated content builds trust. Displaying customer testimonials, reviews, or tags in your social feed helps shoppers relate to your brand.
Keep Pages Fresh Without Constant Edits: Instead of updating your Divi modules manually, your site stays updated automatically via your social activity.
Drive More Social Followers: Highlighting your best content directly on-site encourages visitors to follow you on social platforms.
Use Case Example: A lifestyle coach uses Divi to build her brand site. By embedding a feed of motivational quotes and client shoutouts from Instagram, she boosts engagement and bookings.

Best Practices for Showcasing Instagram Feed on Divi
Use in Conversion Hotspots
- Embed the social feed in key sections like the homepage, testimonials, or product landing pages.
Match Divi’s Design Aesthetic
- Wisernotify lets you customize the feed’s look and feel. Match your fonts, colors, and spacing for seamless integration.
Keep It Compact for Faster Loading
- Avoid overwhelming the layout. Use a minimalist feed design that complements rather than clutters.
Prioritize Mobile Responsiveness

Feature High-Engagement Posts
- Use Wisernotify to filter and display posts that have strong visuals or engagement to create a stronger impression.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Adding Social Media Feed to Divi
Using the Wrong Module Type
One of the most common mistakes is adding the Wisernotify embed code into a Text module instead of a Code module.
Text modules can alter the HTML code, leading to broken or poorly displayed feeds. Always select the Code module when embedding third-party widgets.
Burying the Feed in Low-Visibility Areas
Placing the social feed in the footer or on rarely-visited pages minimizes its impact. In Divi, prioritize areas like the homepage, testimonials, or just above the CTA buttons where visitor engagement is the highest.
Ignoring Visual Cohesion
Divi sites are known for their design consistency. A non-customized social feed can clash with your fonts, colors, and design theme, making your site look less professional.
Always take advantage of Wisernotify’s customization options to align your feed with your overall branding.
Overloading Pages with Large Feeds
Embedding an overly large or multi-column social feed can drastically slow down your page load times, especially on Divi sites that already have rich visual elements.
Opt for a compact widget that focuses on the best posts instead of displaying everything.
Skipping Mobile Responsiveness Testing
Even if your Divi layout is responsive, third-party embeds can behave differently on mobile screens.
Always check your live preview for both desktop and mobile devices to ensure the social feed resizes properly, maintains padding, and doesn’t interfere with key CTAs or other interactive elements.
Forgetting to Moderate Social Content
Allowing every post from your social media to appear without moderation can result in irrelevant, outdated, or even off-brand content being displayed.
Wisernotify provides moderation tools—use them to curate only the posts that align with your brand’s message.
Failing to Update Permissions
Social platforms sometimes require periodic reauthorization to access feeds.
If you forget to refresh your permissions in Wisernotify, your Divi social feed could stop updating. Set reminders to check and renew your social integrations regularly.

Adding a live social media feed to your Divi site helps bridge the trust gap and improves visitor engagement. Wisernotify makes it simple to connect your Instagram or Facebook activity with your elegant Divi layout.
