  Hi!

  Whenever I embed an Instagram post in one of my articles, it turns into a link. At first it works fine, but then I return later and see that it instead of the IG photo, it’s just a link. I’ve tried almost everything I’ve found online: just posting the link, embedding with the IG embed code, only using https:// and no www.

  I’m a bit at loss here. Here is the article for example:

  Why Travelling Full-time isn’t Necessarily The Dream Life

  Can anyone help me?

  Hi, @lisannevanbeurden,

  I see that your site (http://chaptertravel.com) is hosted by https://www.transip.nl/:

  Name Servers
  ns0.transip.nl
  ns1.transip.net
  ns2.transip.eu

  You are running your own installation of WordPress that you are responsible for maintaining. If you need support you may head to the awesome https://wordpress.org/support community for assistance.

  The following guide outlines the differences between what WordPress.com here does and the installation that you have with WordPress.org:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you have a paid plan with WordPress.com (this support forum), then WordPress.com provides direct support and maintains the installation for you.

  Support on these forums is for WordPress.com only.

  Kindly advise if I have the wrong information. I hope you find a quick resolution.

  I’m a little confused, am I not at WordPress support here?

  Hi lisannevanbeurden,

  I’m a little confused, am I not at WordPress support here?

  You’ve reached support for WordPress.com sites. On these forums, we are only able to help with WordPress.com sites hosted on our own servers.

  Support for self hosted WordPress.org sites like chaptertravel.com is available on these forums:

  https://wordpress.org/support

  If you are unable to find an existing answer to your question there, you can start a new topic.

  I also had a quick look at your site and you may want to try removing ‘?taken-by=chaptertravel’ from the end of the URL:

  Best of luck!
