Embed instagram feed in sidebar
-
Hi guys, I have used the WP Standard Instagram Widget in my blog/sites sidebar but it is UGLY to say the least. Is there anyway to embed my live profile feed as it appears in the iPhone/Android App?
TIA
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
You mean make it into 3 columns? If so, I believe instagram widget has that settings https://cloudup.com/cS5RAbBBaVZ

no I mean I want the widget to look clean and identical to the Instagram App, much like the Facebook widget exactly mimics your Facebook Page.
-
Hi! You can add instagram into your website with Enjoy Instagram. I use it and is so simply!

@mneaverson As nizmilputra said, why not add the WPcom Instagram widget with one column but 2 or 3 photos?

@yoruichikupo Can you give us a link to a page or post on your WordPress.com website where you are using this 3rd party app so we can have a look? TIA

@yoruichikupo – As Enjoy Instagram is a plugin, WordPressdotcom users will not be able to install it on their site. No 3rd party plugins can be installed by users here. https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

@justjennifer I have tried the widget and do not like it. As I’ve already said I’m looking for something that allows it to be a live Instagram feed, with my profile picture, profile info, ability to like/comment on my photos, scroll down my feed, etc. Identical to Instagram in every way, not static photo thumbnails like the WP widget, it’s rubbish

You certainly can voice your request in the Ideas forum to ask Staff to update the Instagram widget to make it appear and act more like the Facebook and Twitter widgets currently do. I think a lot of WordPress.com users would be very happy to see this happen.

One other thing you can try, but this would require that you manually update the image in your sidebar (and I think I can hear you gnashing your teeth already), is to use the Instagram shortcode for your latest instagram in a text widget.
[instagram url=https://instagram.com/your image url/]This would add the functionality of your profile picture and a link to your user profile on Instagram.

yeah I’ve thought about this, just seems a very time intensive way of updating it. Thank you though
