Update WordPress 4.6 -> Instagram Slider not working

It is working on the latest version on instagram.jrwebstudio.com! Check if that account has gone private!

Also not working on 4.6. I have two identical installs other than one is 4.5.3 and the other is 4.6. The 4.5.3 installation works great, the 4.6 says “Bad Request”.

The account is public. I have already checked the instagram slider widget with WP 4.5.3 works fine and with WP 4.6 is NOT working!

The problem is on the wp_remote_get(). The reason is the new HTTP API in WP 4.6 has been changed.

Help! My instagram slider widget also says “No images found! Try some other hashtag or username” It had to do with when I updated to 4.6 I think. I have reinstalled and it seemed to be working but it’s back to saying the same thing. What to do?

Same problem here, the account is public and was working fine for WP 4.5, updated to 4.6, and is not working anymore. I am using PHP 5.5.9, nginx 1.4.6.

Hi everyone ??

I’d this issue and tried to activate curl_exec and it worked ?? may it’ll work with you too!

Thanks hebafareed!
It’s now working for me also!

Thanks hebafareed. where do I find curl_exec?

Hi,
where can I active curl_exec?
I have Debian 8, Apache 2.4, PHP7, WordPress 4.6

First send an email to your hosting company and ask them if curl_exec is activated!

@mkword are you using the same hosting provider for both wordpress installations 4.5.3 and 4.6?

Also important the WordPress requirements:

PHP 5.6 or greater
MySQL 5.6 or greater
The mod_rewrite Apache module

Hi jetonr,
I’am on localhost. WP 4.5.3 and 4.6 is on the same apache2.4 and php7, 5.5.47-0+deb8u1.

@mkword find php.ini and enable curl_exec. On debian you can use php --ini
on command line to find the config info.

It seems they changed the wp_remote_get to first look for curl_exec.

On my Debian, Apache, PHP:
install php5-curl
> apt-get install php5-curl
restart apache
> /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

It Works now!

Thanks @jetonr

Hi it doesn’t work for me and I don’t understand the above fix as I am a layperson with limited knowledge – is there any hope for me?

Any help much appreciated.
