  I authorize the widget with Instagram, but it is still not posting my pics in the sidebar. Can you help?

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

  Hello!

  1. Try deactivating the widget by dragging it off to the side. Then bringing it back to activate it. Then reauthorize it.
  2. According to WordPress it may take up to 15minutes for photos to appear.

  3. Are you logged in under the correct Instagram Account?
  4. Does your instagram account have pictures to post?
  5. Is your Instagram account current and up-to-date? There aren’t any holds or suspensions on your Instagram account?

  After I hit the button to authorize Instagram access, I am returned to the widget screen without the widget being added.

  Has anyone else had a similar problem.

  It appears you are using Snapwidget to display your Instagram photos. Previous attempts to use Snapwidget appears to be disallowed.

  Have you tried the specific Instagram Widget?

  @kbkny
  Is http://365vacay.wordpress.com/ the website you still need help with?
  Also, are there any problems (holds or suspensions etc.) related to your Instagram account?
