  I have followed the instructions on the email sent to me to reconnect to Instagram and clicked the link etc, but am getting an error message on my blog which says:

  There was an error retrieving images from Instagram. An attempt will be remade in a few minutes.

  Any idea why? thanks

  Hi there!

  What browser are you using? Do you have any extensions enabled? If so, try temporarily disabling all and reconnect Instagram again.

  Hello and thanks for the response.
  I’m using Safari and have checked – there are no extensions!
  What should I try next?
  thanks

  Does it work if you switch off “Prevent cross-site tracking” in Safari?

  Safari might be seeing the Instagram widget as a cross-site tracker.
