  Hello!

  The instagram Widget will not install on my blog. Yes, I tried to first log in to instagram before attempting and it still will not work. It refreshes the page without saving when I attempt each time.

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

  Hello,

  It refreshes the page without saving when I attempt each time.

  Do you experience this problem when you try to add the widget to the sidebar, or when you try and authorize Instagram access?

  Can you try clearing your browser cache and cookies? There are instructions for different browsers here:

  Solve Common Browser Issues

  Once you’ve done that, refresh the page and try again.

  Let me know how you get on.

  This information might also be helpful:

  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.

  The instructions from this guide are referring to the WP Admin dashboard. You can get to this dashboard by adding /wp-admin to the end of your site’s url (e.g.: example.wordpress.com/wp-admin)
