    I have the instagram widget, but would like another widget to display a hashtag feed (show any instagram photos when people use a particular hashtag (#theadventuregoeson). How can I do this? I found a widget creator that supposedly gave me the correct code to use, but I can’t find the right way to use it:

    <!– SnapWidget –>
    <iframe src=”http://snapwidget.com/in/?h=dGhlYWR2ZW50dXJlZ29lc29ufGlufDI1MHwxfDEwfHx5ZXN8NXxub25lfG9uU3RhcnR8eWVzfG5v&ve=261014″ title=”Instagram Widget” class=”snapwidget-widget” allowTransparency=”true” frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” style=”border:none; overflow:hidden; width:265px; height:2650px”></iframe>

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

    Howdy!

    That Instagram code uses an iframe tag, which is automatically pulled from WordPress.com for security reasons as explained here:

    Add Code to Your Site

    Instead of using the widget, could you try using the Instagram code shown here within a Text Widget on your sidebar?

    I’m wondering if replacing the individual image URL with a feed URL from Instagram would work.

    Thanks for the guidance! Forgive me, I know nothing about code/widgets and the like… I tried pasting the exact code from that widget creator in the text widget on the sidebar and that didn’t work…

    You said “I’m wondering if replacing the individual image URL with a feed URL from Instagram would work.” Any chance you could help me understand how to do that? I don’t know what a feed URL from Instagram would look like. I’d love more help with this issue since having the hashtag feed on the blog would be way better than just the instagram account. Any help MUCH appreciated!!

    Hi there,

    Sorry – I was looking for a URL that’s specific to an Instagram tag that would pull up a feed of that specific tag in the browser, similar to the Twitter hashtag feed here:

    https://twitter.com/hashtag/recovery?src=hash

    I dug pretty deep here, but I wasn’t able to find an Instagram URL that works on desktop browsers for this purpose. Unfortunately, I don’t think you’ll be able to have a hashtag feed on your blog, just the profile on your sidebar.
