blog design
-
Hello, I have a blog on wordpress, and I can’t seem to add my instagram widget to my front page, when I try to add it, it says I have to authorize instagramm which when I press seems to just refresh the page and go back to the widget settings without adding my instagram. Could you help with any suggestions as to why this happens or how to fix it? Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you logged into Instagram when doing the widget set up?
The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
The Instagram widget allows you to display your latest Instagram photos in your site’s sidebar and the guide for setting up the only one that will work on a wordpress.COM hosted blog is here https://en.support.wordpress.com/instagram/instagram-widget/
Also, note this support doc
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibilityIs your Instagram account public? Or is is private, and therefore, blocked when it comes to display of images in the widget on your blog? And, are you logged in when authorizing it?
This particular widget needs to be authorized using the WP admin widget page rather than the customizer. If you go to Dashboard > Appearance> Widgets from the WP Admin dashboard and authorize the widget from there, you’ll have much better luck.
