How to get your Facebook Group ID

December 14, 2012

This post was written for those who need to retrieve a Facebook Group ID for our WordPress Plugin, Feed Them Social. These instructions also apply to anyone trying retrieve your Facebook Group ID for anything.

  1. Go to the Facebook Group you want to display.
  2. Look up in the url of your browser for your group ID.
  3. Copy string of numbers between /’s (be sure NOT to get either of the /’s in there) or copy your group name from the url, just your name not the whole url as depicted in the photo. FYI If you are trying to get the group name or ID for our plugin please note, you cannot show closed groups with our feed them social plugin.

Or you can simply copy your facebook url and paste it in this site to retrieve your ID. https://lookup-id.com/
