  Hi, @krisisethi,

  I am happy to help you with this. Are you successfully authorizing your Instagram account in the widget when you do this?

  Additionally, what widget section are you choosing to put your Instagram widget into?

  You have probably already seen this, but this is the support document page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/instagram/instagram-widget/

  Let me know and we’ll figure this out for you.

  Hi @krisisethi,

  Just to add a few points onto @christinemaze.

  I did my own test using the Pique theme and the instagram widget placed in the sidebar does show up, when I viewed my individual post; however, not on the main page. Have you tried adding instagram again and viewing your post?

  To get it to show up on the main page, I had to add the instagram widget in the footer option.

  Yes, I did that, too, James, which led me to believe it might be in the authorization. :) Thanks for your help.

  It is Authorized. I tried to add it to the side bar.

  I can see the widget after a post. But I want it on the side on my main page

  Awesome. When you say, “You tried”, do you get a message or does it look like it was added successfully? Also, which area are you adding the Instagram widget? Is it via Customizer or wp-admin. Both should work but it will help me look at it. :)

  Screen shots are helpful, to, if you are able to provide that. I’ll take a quick look at your site, again.

  Okay, so the widget is working. Yay! I see it too.

  So, this puts you at the issue is how your Theme is setup.

  For Pique: https://wordpress.com/theme/pique
  With the full-width page, you will need the Instagram widget in your Footer widget area, to display on your home page.

  See the theme information link, above for details. :)
  Let us know if that helps.
