<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v2.2";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

In the right hand top corner of the post click on the drop-down arrow to reveal a drop-down menu.
Choose “More options” and then “Embed post”
Copy and paste the given code
Edit a post in WordPress and switch to Text view
