  Hi there,

  There is no way to do this, because Instagram does now allow sharing from third party services.

  Hi there.

  Oh ok, fair enough, at least i know its not just me then who cant see the link anyway!

  So if we wanted to manually copy a story or a post from insta to WP how do we do that? Is that possible.

  From Instagram to WordPress.com is possible, yes. Copy the direct link for the specific Instagram post, and then just paste that on a new line directly in the editor. We also have an Instagram widget you can use to display your feed in the sidebar or footer of your site.

  Instagram stories cannot be embedded, though. Instagram doesn’t offer an embeddable link for those, and it wouldn’t work anyway given that stories are automatically deleted after a certain time, which would also cause them to disappear from any site where you embedded them.
