24hrs after purchase SNAP PRO WP Plugin API no download

What is your issue exactly?

What do you need to download?

Please see the “Upgrade/Activation” instructions here: https://www.nextscripts.com/upgrade-to-pro-setup-install-social-networks-auto-poster-for-wordpress/

The problem was, I already had an “NextScripts: SNAP Pro Upgrade Helper” installed before my current purchase, and that wouldn’t recognize my new purchase. It was after I de-activated the old “NextScripts: SNAP Pro Upgrade Helper”, deleted its files and done a fresh install, before the SNAP could recognize the API features such as Instagram and Google+ (I suppose the documentation on https://www.nextscripts.com/instructions/instagram-auto-poster-setup-installation/ should be updated to include the above workaround)

Now, having said, my Instagram account authentication using the plugin doesn’t work. It throws the following errors, when I click the “Submit test post to Instagram” button :

Testing …

Array
(
[pgID] =>
[isPosted] => 0
[pDate] => 2016-05-19 15:33:43
[Error] => Something went wrong – ERROR -LOGIN- Array
(
[status] => fail
[message] => Please use your username to login
)

)
Array ( [pgID] => [isPosted] => 0 [pDate] => 2016-05-19 15:33:43 [Error] => Something went wrong – ERROR -LOGIN- Array ( [status] => fail [message] => Please use your username to login ) )

even though I am using the correct username and pwd to my Instagram account. It looks like Instagram is not allowing the connection, for when I visited my Instagram account, shortly thereafter, Instagram notified me that someone had tried to access my account, and I should confirm it whether it was me or not.

Now, what is the next thing to do?

1. Confirm that it was you.
2. Please use the username in that field, not email. Instagram shows that error only when email is used instead of a username.

Okay, I did change the email to the real username, and images can now be posted to Instagram. [Suggestion: this “Instagram Login Email” on the settings user interface, should change to “Instagram Username”]

Now, it works like ‘charm’

However, the only thing which doesn’t seem to work, is that my Instagram account is not able to use my goo.gl api to shorten urls. The plugin is able to use my goo.gl api to shorten my urls in all my other accounts but not the Instagram account, it appears to ignore it. Any reason for that?

Yes, Instagram and Reddit do not accept shortened URLs.

It’s strange because other apps like Gramblr, do allow (or are capable to) posting shortened urls to instagram.
