Instagram Feed

Users with a public Instagram account (not private accounts) can add an Instagram feed to the photo gallery widget. The widget displays up to 100 images from your feed, and updates automatically when new posts are added.  If an Instagram post has more than one image, only the first image of that post will display in the photo gallery widget.

Note

New image updates may take up to 2 hours to display.

The Instagram widget only displays photos from accounts that are public.

To change the account, open the connected photo gallery, click Disconnect, and log in with the new account.

Note

Only one Instagram account may be connected per site.

Clients do not need to give you user and password information. You can give clients Content editing permissions in order to log in to Instagram themselves.
