Note: If you are using an older version of the Bendigo theme, you will find that Instagram are currently blocking your Instagram feed. If you cannot see your feed, you should update your theme, and then use the new HTML Section that is included in the latest version of the theme.
Using the "HTML Section" to display an Instagram feed on your home page
In versions 1.5 of the theme and up, we have introduced HTML Sections. If Instagram are blocking you from displaying your Instagram feed, you'll need to use a third party widget. One of the following should work well...
- https://lightwidget.com/
This is our recommended option. You'll need to pay the one-off fee, but you then have a lifetime feed with no advertising that works with SSL
Price: $10 USD one-off fee to remove branding and support SSL - https://taggbox.com/instagram-widget/
Price: Free for up to 2,000 views a month. Displays Taggbox branding. $19 USD a month to remove branding.
Requires that your Facebook Business Page be linked to your Instagram Business Account. - https://woxo.tech/
Price: Free with Woxo branding. $6.99 a month to remove branding and enable more customisation. - https://snapwidget.com/
Price: Free for the grid style, but images link to a SnapWidget preview. The Pro option has a monthly fee. - https://elfsight.com/instagram-feed-instashow/
Price: Free... but you will likely go over your limit of 200 views and will need to pay the $5 USD a month to remove branding and support up to 5000 page views. - https://embedsocial.com/create/instagram-feed/.
Price: Free, or $19 USD a month to remove branding and get more customisation features.
If you sign up for the widget, you can customise it on their site. You can then paste the widget code into the "HTML Section" or "Wide HTML Section" fields in your theme editor. Once you have done this, Save your settings.
