TikTok is one of the most popular social video platforms in the world. Embed the TikTok feed in your WordPress post has many benefits including:
- Enhanced Engagement
- Reach more Audience
- Improved Content Variety
- Increased Time on Site and Lower Bounce Rate
- Ensure Regularly Updated Content
Embedding TikTok content in WordPress effectively makes your site dynamic, modern, and engaging while requiring minimal maintenance. After all, a website is not an isolated and unique information source on the Internet. The website needs to combine with social media tightly to attract more traffic, except for traffic from Google.
In this article, we will introduce how to embed a TikTok feed in a WordPress post or page.

- Go to the TikTok video you want to embed, click the “Share” button, and copy the link.
- Embed in WordPress Post:
- In the WordPress editor, paste the link directly into the editor (Gutenberg or Classic Editor).
- WordPress will automatically convert the URL into an embedded TikTok video.
Method 2: Use a TikTok Feed Plugin
To display a full TikTok feed (e.g., all videos from a user or a hashtag), use a WordPress plugin:

Conclusion
