Hello Guys,
I had the same issue since a few hours today.

Now I have found a work around that I share with you.

The root cause of the issue probably came from Instagram in the yway they check the login and password.

But so far in the plugin code, there is a use of a sub library “mgp25/Instagram-API” and in the way it is used so far there where something like

$i = new \InstagramAPI\Instagram($username, $password, $debug);

try {
$i->login();
} catch (Exception $e) {
$e->getMessage();
exit();
}

And the problem come from the phase whith the try section where it tries to authenticate twice the user. This has worked so far, but today it does not work anymore.

The first line $i = new \InstagramAPI\Instagram($username, $password, $debug); already login the plugin to instagram.

So to make it works, now I had to put in comment the following lines (Around line 724 to 729 in wp2instagram.php )

//try {
// $i->login();
//} catch (Exception $e) {
// $e->getMessage();
// exit();
//}

And now my post are shown again in instagram.

So Roland (The author of the plugin), if you pass here I do not know if this is normal or not or if something needs to be adapted with a new version of the plugin.

I just wanted to share this tips with all of you.

Nope, unfortunately this doesn’t work for me (like the user marinkom replied to your post). I commented out the section you told me. The WordPress frontend timed out while saving the changed file, but when I download or inspect the file wp2instagram.php via FTP from the server, the changes are online. Do I have to deactivate and reactivate the plugin to reload the code or something like that? A caching problem?
I posted a new article with a main picture, but nothing to see on my instagram account…

Deactivated and reactivated the plugin and tried again without any positive result.

The plugin is now updated with the @dufour_l suggestions ,
Also for everyone Who want to contribute the Plugin is in Github.

Doesn’t work for me either (version 1.4.5). It says ‘Instagram Status : Already published’, but it wasn’t. I have WordPress 4.9.8 installed.
I enabled the debug checkbox – where can I see the debug messages?

O meu também parou de funcionar quando atualizei, voltei para a vers?o antiga e fiz as modifica??es que Laurent Dufour falou, mas mesmo assim ainda n?o posta no instagram.

Hello Guys

Can you all try with the new version 1.4.6

Regards

Hi,

The initial suggestion to comment out this….
//try {
// $i->login();
//} catch (Exception $e) {
// $e->getMessage();
// exit();
//}
Actually did work for a couple of weeks, and then it stopped again the other day.

I updated to Version 1.4.6 but this is also not working for me.

The post status shows this…..
Instagram Status : Never published

Posted : Unknown

Hi Marinkom

The error that you have is related to Instagram security process, you faced an issue when login to instagram from two different IP adresses.
