  I am trying to install the Instagram widget. Every time I click ‘Authorize Instagram Access’, it says it will redirect me, I click okay. And then it refreshes the page and brings me backward to theme customization. What am I doing wrong? I am already logged into my Instagram on my computer

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

  You are most likely not doing the set up correctly. If you are in the theme customizer then get out of it please, and go to > Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets
  The full instructions are here:

  Do not use the customizer. Go directly to Dashbaord→ Appearance → Widgets http://ktsmalzz.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php

  Save the widget before trying to authorize. The page will refresh with refreshed with the widget still in place, and then you can clisk authorize.

  The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
