    Hello. Your plugin has worked without issue for several weeks now. But today I woke up to an error on the front end:

    Instagram Access Token not valid. Please reauthenticate.

    In the back-end, I then carried out the steps to authenticate my Instagram account, and it seemed to do so without issue. But the error is still present. How can I resolve this?

    Thanks.

    edit: I am building my website locally, and pushing the edits to my live server. Up until now, the Instagram feed had worked without issue on both my local site and my live site. But now it seems that the issue is present on my local site only, not on my live site. To be clear, the plugin is working on my live site, but displaying the authentication error on my local site.

    There were no changes made to the Instagram module or the authentication module this release, so I would put this down to a temporary glitch between your local server and Instagram itself. An access token has long-term validity, so unless some option gets deleted in the back-end, or unless you explicitly revoke permissions for the app to connect to Instagram, the only reason this would occur is due to a glitch.
