  Added an Instagram​ widget​ to my side bar. I want to change the Instagram​ account. Still want an Instagram widget but want it linked to a different Instagram​ account. I have deleted the widget and re-added​ it and the old account comes up automatically. I clicked the remove option beside the name of the Instagram account I want to replace it still defaults​ to the first account I added. I want the first Instagram account to go away and I want my new account added as a widget on the sidebar.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello!

  Are you not able to see your correct instagram account to add, it only shows the first one?

  This support document discusses how to use the Instragram widget, and it mentions:

  First log into your Instagram account in another tab in your browser. After

  logging into Instagram.com, return to the Instagram widget in your Customizer and click Authorize Instagram Access. This step grants WordPress.com access to your Instagram account, so we can retrieve your latest images.

  Did you try to access your account that way? If your browser’s last saved account was the other, first account, it could be seeing those cookies and putting that as the primary.

  I hope that helps!
