instagram images not showing up
I looked up the short tutorial here on wordpress but when I tried it it didn’t work. The URL is the only thing that shows up.
What could i be doing wrong?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If the URL is showing up, there is a good possibility that you didn’t remove the link. Use the “unlink” button in the Visual Editor’s toolbar, make sure the URL is on its own line with no extra code, like positioning.
The other option is to use the shortcode.

Here is a URL, although I have tried several…
justjennifer, thank you for your response, but can you clarify, I am not very savvy….where is the Visual Editor’s toolbar?
What is the ‘shortcode’?
Thanks ! -
@raindropsandrotini Have a look at the Support doc I linked to above. It explains how to use both the URL method and the shortcode method, with illustrations.

Yes, I should have said that I did look at that and I tried to implement what it said to do but I can’t seem to make it work…and it seems like it should be easy so it feels like something just isn’t working for me.

OK-then from square one.
Copy and paste that URL into your post or page, making sure it is the only thing on the line, no extra text, no centering. Like this
http://instagram.com/p/aWYMzVBGXA/
Note that I removed the hash mark as it is not appearing on instagram.If you can click on that and be taken to the image on instagram, it is a link and you need to remove the link. You do that by placing your cursor on the URL and using the “Unlink” button, Button #11 in this support doc http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/
Once you remove the link, save your draft and then preview your post. Let me know if you see the instagram image.
