A **combo widget** pulls from more than one source at once. Instead of a separate widget per platform, one widget can show your Instagram posts, Facebook posts, and Google reviews together in a single wall, slider, or grid.

You do not create a special widget type for this. Any widget can become a combo widget: open it, and select every source you want it to show.

Before you start, connect at least two sources. See [Sources](/docs/social-media-aggregator/sources/) for how source counting works and [Source types](/docs/social-media-aggregator/source-types/) for what each platform pulls.

## How to combine sources in one widget

:::steps
1. **Open the widget.** Click '**Widgets**' in the left menu and click '**Edit**' on the widget you want to combine sources in.

2. **Open the Sources tab.** Inside the widget, go to '**Sources**'.

3. **Select every source you want.** Tick each connected account, location, or hashtag that should appear, along with the type of posts to include.

That is the whole change. The embed code stays the same, so a widget already live on your site starts showing the added sources without a re-embed.

## What you can combine

Sources mix freely across content types, so posts and reviews can sit in the same widget:

-   **Posts from several social platforms**, for example Instagram plus Facebook plus TikTok
    
-   **Reviews from several review sources**, for example Google plus Facebook plus Trustpilot
    
-   **Reviews together with social posts**, so reputation and personality appear side by side
    
-   **Several accounts on the same platform**, for example three Google locations in one widget

Each source in the widget still counts as one source against your plan. The widget itself is free: widgets are unlimited on every plan.

## FAQ

**Q: How many sources can one widget combine?**

As many as you have connected. Your plan caps the number of sources on the account, not how many of them a single widget uses.

**Q: Do I need to re-embed after adding a source to a widget?**

No. The embed code never changes, so the new content appears on your live site automatically.

**Q: Can I combine reviews and social posts in the same widget?**

Yes. Select the review sources and the social sources together in the '**Sources**' tab.

**Q: Can I combine several locations of the same business?**

Yes. Each Google location is its own source, and one widget can show all of them at once.

**Q: Does combining sources cost extra?**

No. You pay for the number of connected sources. Combining them into one widget does not add to that count.

## What's next

With the sources selected, review what each one brings in before it goes live. See [Moderation](/docs/widgets/moderation/), or [Social feed wall](/docs/widgets/social-feed-wall/) for laying the mixed content out as a wall.
