How to display a TikTok feed on a WordPress site

Decide whether you need one or two fixed videos, a creator profile, or an automatically updating feed. WordPress can embed individual TikTok videos with its built-in TikTok block, while TikTok's creator-profile embed displays profile details and a selection of recent videos.

If you need hashtag filtering, account filtering, layout controls, or a feed that refreshes as new posts are published, the built-in block is not enough. You need a feed plugin or a custom integration using TikTok's developer tools.

Open the TikTok video in a browser, copy its public URL, then edit the WordPress post or page. Add a TikTok block, paste the URL, and select Embed. WordPress supports TikTok embeds from version 5.4 onward.

This manual route is fine for a landing page, blog post, or product page with a few selected videos. It does not create a live feed: each video remains a separate embed that you must replace or add yourself.

For a profile-style display, open the creator's profile on TikTok.com, select the share option, choose Embed, and copy the generated code. In WordPress, add a Custom HTML block and paste the code, then preview the page.

TikTok's profile embed can show profile information and up to ten recent videos. Private and underage accounts cannot be embedded, and a video removed from TikTok will no longer work in the embedded profile.

Install a reputable TikTok feed plugin from Plugins → Add New, or upload its ZIP file through Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Activate it, open the plugin's settings or feed screen, and connect the TikTok account if the plugin requests authorisation.

Create a feed and choose the account, hashtag, layout, number of items, and responsive display options. The exact menu names depend on the plugin, so do not follow instructions that refer to settings you cannot see. A plugin is the practical route when the feed must update automatically or show filtered content.

Copy the shortcode or block supplied by the feed plugin and add it to the page, post, sidebar, footer, or page-builder widget where the feed should appear. If the plugin supplies a widget, use the widget area instead. Keep the first feed small enough to load quickly, especially on mobile.

Do not paste a shortcode from a different plugin or rename its settings. Shortcodes are plugin-specific, and removing the plugin usually leaves the shortcode visible as plain text.

View the page while logged out and test it on a phone. Confirm that the videos load, links open TikTok, the columns fit the screen, and the feed does not push important page content too far down.

If a video says it cannot be embedded, check that the URL is public and points to the video rather than a profile, search result, or shortened redirect. If a feed is empty, reconnect the account, check the selected account or hashtag, clear the plugin cache, and wait for its first sync. Privacy changes, deleted videos, authorisation failures, theme CSS, and caching are common causes of broken or stale feeds.

Fast way: install Tik Tok Feed, connect the account, select the account or hashtag filter, choose the layout, and insert its supplied shortcode or block. It is the quicker choice when you need TikTok content rather than a general social feed, with customisable layouts and automatic updates.
