  I am using the Cerauno theme and I am trying to add the instagram widget onto my blog. When I go to add the widget, it says that I need to authorize my account. When I click the ‘authorize instagram access’ button, the page simply refreshes and it directs me back to the default customize theme page and the widget does not appear on my blog. Help?

  I’ve helped a few people with this issue so hopefully it’s the same fix for you. What worked for me was to click on “Save & Publish” if you are trying to add the Instagram widget from Appearance > Customize > Widgets first. After you select the Instagram widget in the desired widget area and click on “Save & Publish” at the very top left corner, you will be able to go back and click on “Authorize Instagram Access.” If you are already logged in, it should pop up and appear after you save it. That did the trick for me. Hope that helps you!

  Looks like lots of people are having this issues. You can try @dmcwong method but if it doesn’t succeed, there is another solution here:
