  Hi,
  In order to have your Instagram widget at the bottom of your page, you need a Theme that supports footer widgets. According to the “Lovecraft” theme description: (https://wordpress.com/themes/lovecraft/) , it’s supported, so you should be able to place widgets in your footer area.
  To add your Instagram widget, go to Apperance -> Widgets. Look for the Instagram Widget and add it to your Footer area.
  If you want to have a horizontal display, select x number of columns and x number of images. This will create the horizontal effect.
  Check out the following link for more information about the Instagram widget settings:

  I hope this information is helpful.

  I have done that, but that is not exactly what I am wanting. I want my photos to be the entire length of the bottom of the page and it will only allow you to have a column of 3.

  For example: kaitlingrunder.com
  ^ this is what I would like to have it look like, with 6-more photos/columns

  The widget is placed as the footer now if you would like to see what I mean: shelbycannon.wordpress.com

  Is there any way to make more columns or go another route?

  @shelbycannon:
  If you’ve upgraded to the Premium or Business plans, maybe you can do some CSS edits (to enlarge the footer area or maybe get rid of the other footer sections, since your theme seems to support three widget areas, I believe this could be the reason why it doesn’t allow you to extend to more columns)

  Maybe another member can give you better assistance than me regarding CSS customization. If not, you can tag this thread with “modlook” (right side bar) to get staff attention.
