  I decided to link my Instagram with my blog, but the Instagram widget is not working even though I have authorized access to my Instagram account. My Instagram account shows that access is already granted to wordpress.com. Each time I add the Instagram widget, the same box still appears to ask me to authorize the access. No matter how many times I click to authorize the access, it doesn’t seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

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

  Hey @nicoleemerence – I actually just figured this out!!

  When you add the instagram widget you need to SAVE it before trying to authorize. Once I saved, the page refreshed with the widget still in place, I pressed authorize and it was good to go! Hope this helps :)

  @caitlinramrakha, you’re my hero!! Thank you!

  Such a simple fix, I kind of feel a little ridiculous, actually… But still. Thanks a ton, dear :)
