Hey there!
Looks like this site is not hosted on WordPress.com. This forum we’re in now provides support for WordPress websites that are hosted by WordPress.com.
Since your site is hosted elsewhere using WordPress software, help is available in the WordPress.org forums or by contacting your hosting provider directly.
For help with your self-hosted WordPress site, you can ask over at the WordPress.org forums here:

Out of curiosity, I did some searching to see if I could find a plugin that works as you described. It looks like most plugins allow for posts on Instagram to be displayed on a website, but I’m not seeing any that work the other way around (i.e. allow you to post to Instagram from another website). I’ll defer to the folks in the WordPress.org forums for their suggestions though :)
Best of luck!

Hi there,
What you’re looking for doesn’t exist: Instagram doesn’t allow direct sharing of content from other websites, the way Twitter and Facebook does, and they don’t offer an API that plugin developers can use to create something like this. So there aren’t any plugins that can do this.
Instagram also doesn’t allow one to include links in a post, so even if there was a way to share an image appearing on your site directly to Instagram, it wouldn’t link back to your site.
The only way to create an Instagram post is directly on Instagram itself, and the only sharing Instagram allows is via the share dialog for image and video files on mobile devices.
