No instagram pics showing in widget?

Scott — thanks for the update.

Danny — good point, I’d like to get a grid of thumbnails – 3 across and 4 down — if possible

Support with styling your website with CSS is beyond the scope of this plugin. I recommend reading https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Getting_started

I just installed plugin from github and don’t see a widget to choose in the admin? Is there something I’m missing.

I’m using it on a child theme.

Once the plugin is active you should be able to see the widget available in the widgets screen. If its not available then you may not have installed it correctly or there may be a conflict with another plugin.

First of all, you are a rockstar for responding so quickly!!

So here’s what’s happening. When I install from WordPress Plugin directory, I get a widget, but I get an error when I use the wiget.

When I install the git zip by upload in WordPress admin, I don’t get a widget at all.

Can you paste the error you see when you activate it from the plugins repository. I have a feeling there may be a code conflict.

This is what I get from original widget:

Warning: file_get_contents(https://instagram.com/solfitadventure?) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /home/intrepid/public_html/sandbox/lisa-citore/wp-content/plugins/wp-instagram-widget/wp-instagram-widget.php on line 166

I almost pulled my hair out over this whole change at instagram. I installed it on a site I’m building the DAY before all this and thought it was me when it didn’t work the next day! Then noticed any widget I tried had a problem…Then I got a clue and just waited to see who would update first!

You may be the only plugin dev who’s addressing it!

Interesting. I just test two different usernames on my local setup and it worked. Then I tested your username and it gave me the same error. This implies there is something different about your profile.

Can you try a different username (e.g. cocacola) and see if that works for you. In the meantime I will try and work out what is different about your profile.

Hey, no worries, this is good news!!
That’s just a test. She hasn’t even created her instagram profil.
Let me try another one!

Yes!!!
We’re good.

Thank you so much for your quick help and your amazing plugin!
You are truly a rockstar!

Excellent. It looked like the username you were trying was returning intermittent 404 errors which was causing the issue.

I have just pushed a few minor bug fixes to GitHub to try and handle these kind of errors in a nicer way but its not a critical fix so won’t make it onto the .org version for a little while.

I cannot see the widget on your site. Please double check your username and that your profile is publicly accessible via your browser, for example: https://instagram.com/cocacola

Well,
was working for a while, now I’m getting this error (mollyhahn):

Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given in /home/intrepid/public_html/sandbox/lisa-citore/wp-content/plugins/wp-instagram-widget/wp-instagram-widget.php on line 200

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/intrepid/public_html/sandbox/lisa-citore/wp-content/plugins/wp-instagram-widget/wp-instagram-widget.php on line 115

Okay, it’s back now.
Gremlins at play?

Crap! now the error’s back again.
