Make sure you are logged into Instagram when doing the widget set up.
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.
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php
Navigate to > Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
The Instagram widget allows you to display your latest Instagram photos in your site’s sidebar and the guide for setting up the only one that will work on a wordpress.COM hosted blog is here https://en.support.wordpress.com/instagram/instagram-widget/
Also, note this support doc
https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibilityIs your Instagram account public? Or is is private, and therefore, blocked when it comes to display of images in the widget on your blog? And, are you logged in when authorizing it?
This particular widget needs to be authorized using the WP admin widget page rather than the customizer. If you go to Dashboard > Appearance> Widgets from the WP Admin dashboard and authorize the widget from there, you’ll have much better luck.

Hi timethief,
Thanks for your reply!
I’m signed into Instagram and it works perfectly fine if I add a social media widget, but it simply does not once I choose the option “Instagram”. My profile is public and I had no issues apart from this one…

Hi @nesuxi, sorry that widget is a little finicky sometimes. Try this:
– open Instagram in another tab; log in
– add the Instagram widget. Click authorize.
– Save your changes
– Add the widget again (if needed). You shouldn’t have to authorize again.If that still doesn’t work for you, you can also try adding it here:
