  I’m trying to set up the Instagram Widget for my blog but it doesn’t go anywhere, it just keeps saying connecting to customization or something like that. I had it set up on my old blog but then tried a new theme and it took it down and now I can’t get it back up…it just keeps saying loading and then never takes me anywhere and nothing pops up on my Instagram to approve access to WordPress.

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

  I’ve seen this a few times lately.

  Just to touch on all bases, double check the steps listed here:

  If that doesn’t help, can you visit your blog’s widget settings in the dashboard?

  https://flirtingwdirt.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php

  Let me know if it allows you to authorize the instagram widget there.

  Hope that does the trick!

  I had the exact same problem with the infinite scrolling when trying to add the instagram widget. I solved it by accessing the widgets through the dashboard. Then I went back into the Customize page to set my preferences – number of photos to display/columns.

  Ahhhh thank you both so much! Accessing the widgets through the dashboard worked! I will remember that for the future!
