    Good Morning –

    This is how Instagram has designed their integration and you aren’t able to be so granular in how you present that on the site. There is an alternative which I’d like to offer.

    1. Take a screen shot of the instragram post to exclude the hashtags. Looking at this post on the site my suggestion would look like a this:

    2. add an image link on to that screen shot. This way, when somebody wants to click on that they’ll be taken to the post through the link you’ve added.

    Here are the instructions for using the image block.
