Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simple Photo Feed

Whenever you want your Instagram posts to be shown as a gallery in your Wordpress website. Increase social engagement, save time by only posting your photos to Instagram and automatically displaying them on your website and keep your site looking fresh.

We've made it super easy for you. Just click the "Connect Account" button, login to your Instagram and accept the plugin. That's it!

Unfortunately, not anymore. Meta has decided to deprecate the Instagram Basic API and turn it off on December 4th, 2024. That was the API that regular, personal accounts could use to have access to their media posts. The only solution to embed your instagram images in your WordPress site now is to use their Business APIs. That means you must change your account to a Creator or Business type. This is a very easy process and you can always switch back.

There are a few common reasons for this: Your Access Token may not be valid anymore. Click "Disconnect Account" and re-connect to refresh the connection with Instagram's API. The cached feed may be invalid. Just click the "Clear Cache" button in Settings and the plugin will fetch a fresh feed of media from your Instagram account. You haven't added the shortcode. Add [simple-photo-feed] in a page/post, where you want your instagram feed to be displayed. You have a Personal account. Please switch to Creator or Business account. If you're still having an issue displaying your feed then please open a ticket in the Support forum with a link to the page where you're trying to display the Instagram feed and, if possible, a link to your Instagram account.

Absolutely not. No technical knowledge is needed at all. With a few clicks your Instagram posts will be synced with your website.

You can embed your Instagram feed directly into a template file by using the WordPress do_shortcode function: <?php echo do_shortcode('[simple-photo-feed]'); ?>

Of course! "Simple Photo Feed" is compatible with any theme and plugin that follows WordPress coding standards.

Simple Photo Feed includes configurable access control that allows site administrators to choose which user roles can access and configure the plugin. By default, the plugin remains secure and only allows administrators (manage_options capability) to access the plugin settings. This ensures that sensitive Instagram API credentials and feed configuration remain protected.
