How to add Link to Instagram and Username

  • Hi, I just wanted to share with you a solution to add additional Custom Fields with a Link to Instagram and the Instagram Username, because the one or the other could use it. Hopefully I see this feature in a current version because I don’t like to hack plugins.

    Go to the Plugin Folder and open the file instagram_wpteams.php

    Search for the keyword “add_post_meta“

    Currently there are two add_post_meta Functions (metakey id and instagram_created_time)

    Add the following two lines at the end of these two:

    add_post_meta($post_id, ‘photo_link’, $data->link, true);
    add_post_meta($post_id, ‘username’, $data->user->username, true);

    You need to copy them on 6 different places in the script. Everywhere you find the keyword “add_post_meta”

    Hope this helps someone!

    Roger, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you so much for posting this elegant answer to the question I was just about to ask.

    Seems like a no-brainer feature to allow attribution when importing posts! Hopefully the developers, who created a great little plugin, will include this in the next release.
