  I am having trouble with the Instagram widget, which is supposed to show your latest Instagram photos on your blog.

  I followed the instructions: I selected the widget, then I saved and then I clicked on the button to authorize the access on my Instagram account.
  It didn’t worked, so I tried clicking on “Having troubles? Log on the correct account”, but it didn’t work either.
  Moreover, my Instagram is already connected to the blog.

  I don’t know what to do. Any suggestions?

  PS: I am using Sapor as my current blog theme.

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

  Hi,

  First, when adding the Instagram widget follow the instructions at the top of the widget, which says:

  Click Save & Publish above (if needed) to activate this Instagram widget, then you can authorize access to your Instagram account.

  Second, you have to be logged into the Instagram account when you click the “Authorize Instagram Access” button. Otherwise it will prompt you to log into the Instagram account.

  Hi!
  I do follow the instructions!
  I click “Save and publish”, then I click “Log on the correct account” and lastly I click “Authorize Instagram access”. But all I see is a blank page D:

  And when I check the blog, the widget is there, but there are no pictures! It says that I have to configure the widget first.

  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.
