    Is there a way to store the profile picture locally, so my website doesn’t have to load to full resolution picture, just to be shown as 50×50. Amazing plugin by the way!

    Hey @vigyx,

    Thank you for reaching out to us. Can you go to Instagram Feed > Customize > Misc > Image Resizing > enable Favor Local Images > click Save Changes and this should store the profile picture locally. Thank you for the compliment on the plugin!

    Many thanks, hope you are having a great day!

    Ops! Didn’t mean to leave a blank message. I had the option already enabled. Is there a way to change the dimensions of the stored image?

    Hey! Sorry for the late response. I fixed my issue by using the customavatar = “” option you guys have in the plugin. Didn’t notice it before. It’s all good now.

    For people that had the same issue:
    Download your Instagram profile pic and scale it to needed size (Mine was 50×50)
    Go to Display your Feed in the plugin settings and look up customavatar under Header Options.
    Add new code to page/widget/post.

    I’ll mark this as resolved. Thank you for your help Mike!
