Instagram widget bug
-
I am using the Dara theme and when I first added Instagram feed widget it looked perfect as all of the previews of photos in the feed were square, the same as they look in the Instagram app. However, after a month all the previews began to have proportions of original photographs, they are no longer square, they are rectangular, different. It looks awful. You can see this on my blog, the Instagram widget in the sidebar. Please tell me why this happened and how to fix it. Thank you.

Hi there,
We’re aware of the problem. It looks like something might have changed in the way Instagram sends the images to us, but our developers are investigating and working on a fix.

Hi. Just to register that I’m also having problems with the Instagram Widget so I’m hoping the fix will sort me out too, unless you think mine are something different? On installation 4 months ago it worked fine. Then last 2-3 weeks under the Instagram title in the sidebar my site just shows the message ‘There was an error retrieving images from Instagram. An attempt will be remade in a few minutes.’ However this never changes, Instagram pictures now never load, and this is the same in all device views (and whether I am at home or out, so isn’t wifi connection). Thanks.

Hi @kokkieh. This is my site. Yes I have now deleted and then reinstalled and I think that has brought me to a place where I have the straight bug like everyone else. i.e. I’ve now got some photos showing, but they don’t look good as they are all different sizes etc. Thanks in advance for your help and looking forward to hearing about the fix once sorted.

Okay. The widget not connecting before might be related, so I’ve passed that info on to our developers looking at the image size issue.

No word yet, I’m afraid. A workaround I can suggest for now is to set your widget to only display one column. That way the non-square images won’t be as noticeable.
