  Hi. I am unable to add the Instagram widget to my URL. http://holidayhangovers.wordpress.com/

  I am using The Adventure Journal Theme. It directs me to Authorize the application and after I authorize it, it brings me back to Add Widget page without having added the Insta Widget.
  Please help.

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

  Hi there,

  I checked your blog, and I see that the Instagram isn’t currently activated. You can add it to one of your blog’s widget areas by going to Appearance > Widgets in your dashboard.

  Below the list of available widgets, you can find the “Inactive Widgets” section with your Instagram widget there. If you add that widget back to one of the widget areas on your blog, it will activate the widget on your blog.

  If you continue to have trouble getting the widget to appear on the blog, please let me know and I’ll be happy to help further.

  Hi,
  I tried activating Instagram following the instruction in the support guide.
  Hi Rachel, I tried activating it from the inactive section as well, it keeps redirecting me to Add Widgets page without adding Insta widget.
  Appreciate your help!

  Hi there,

  You should be able to drag the widget from the “Inactive Widgets” section to one of the sidebar or footer areas on the right side of that Widgets page. We have a little more about how that works here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#adding-widgets

  If you continue to have trouble with that, can you please let me know which widget area (sidebar or footer) you’d like to add the instagram widget to?

  Following the same instructions, have tried different browsers: chrome & firefox.

  I am trying to add it to the primary sidebar. I tried the footer option as well, but no luck!

  Ah, I think I know what might be happening. On the Widgets page, can you go to the “Screen Options” tab in the upper right? If it says “Disable accessibility mode,” you can click that link to return to the regular view of the Widgets page. We have more about that here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#accessibility-mode

  Let me know if you have any trouble with that!
