No matter what I do, it shows my personal Instagram account and not my business account. Beyond frustrating. I just can’t wrap my head around it. I’ve authorized it about 20 times!

This app is still under development and you do not have the necessary permissions to access it. Change your account to that of a registered test user or ask the administrator for access to the app.

Peccato! ?? era tutto ok ma verificando dopo alcune ore, ho visto che nonostante avessimo aggiunto delle nuove immagini sul profilo instagram, la widget è rimasta ferma a quelle precedenti

This is a great plugin for displaying Instagram photos when you don’t necessarily have authorization to the account. was up and running in less than a minute. Thank you so much for keeping things simple!
