From the Theme Settings > Home Page - Instagram widget section, you can enable the Instagram Widget to display Instagram images on your shop's home page.

Enabling the Instagram feed in your store

  1. Go to the Design & Assets -> Theme editor section, and scroll down to the Home Page - Instagram widget section
  2. Instagram Widget Title is the title that appears above your Instagram feed on your home page
  3. Enter your Instagram username. It's important to only enter your Instagram username without any special characters. Please do not include the @ symbol with your username or the URL to your Instagram profile.
  4. Number of Images sets the number of images to show. By default it's 12. It should be 2 or 3 times whatever number you set in the Number of Images to display per row field.
  5. Number of Images to display per row is how you can make your Instagram images bigger or smaller. The higher the number, the smaller the images are, and the more that are displayed in the row.


Does your theme editor show Client ID and token fields?

The theme has been updated so that these are no longer required. You should update your theme to the latest version if your Instagram feed isn't working.




Errors getting your Access Token?

There are only two reasons we are aware of why there should be an error;

  1. You haven't added us to the list of Valid redirect URIs.
    1. Go back to https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/
    2. Click on the Manage button
    3. Click the Security button
    4. Add
      https://www.spiffystores.com.au/instagram
      to the list of Valid redirect URIs.
    5. Click the Update Client button
    6. Try submitting the form with your Client ID above


  2. Disable implicit OAuth has not been un-ticked.
    1. Go back to https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/
    2. Click on the Manage button
    3. Click the Security button
    4. Un-tick Disable implicit OAuth
    5. Click the Update Client button
    6. Try submitting the form with your Client ID above

If that doesn't resolve the issue, we'll need you to submit a ticket providing your Instagram username and password so we can log into your Instagram account and investigate further.


Pictures out of alignment?

The Instagram feed in this theme supports only square images. To modify your feed so that only square images are used, follow the instructions below.

  1. Go back to https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/
  2. Click on the Manage button
  3. Click the Migrations tab
  4. Un-tick the Non square media option
  5. Click the Update Client button
