Error: “App not active” message displayed on Facebook, when trying to authorize the plugin with a business account

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the plugin
2. Go to “Meks Instagram Settings” page
3. Click “Authorize with Instagram”
4. Select “Business” when asked what profile type you’d like to authorize

Actual result: You’ll get redirected to Facebook and see the error message.

Expected result: successful authorization process.

Hi,
I have a problem on one of the sites.
Your plugin no longer displays instagram posts and gives me this error
“Insufficient permissions to access this data”

Will you have a solution?

{“error_type”: “OAuthException”, “code”: 400, “error_message”: “Insufficient developer role”}

I am receiving the following error code when trying to authorise the Instagram token for my wordpress website:

{“error_type”: “OAuthException”, “code”: 400, “error_message”: “Insufficient developer role”}

The process to get the token as has been followed with due care. I have received the token, but it won’t get passed this stage.

Any ideas?
Thank you.

Hi there,

The plugin was working great but since few days the Insta API connection broke down ant when we try to re-authorize it via the admin we get an error like in the screenshot below.

I tried to roll-back to a previous version of the plugin but I get the same error.

Any ideas ?

Many thanks for the great work. I know how the Meta APIs are complicated and picky !

Error on home page: Error validating access token: The user has not authorized application 591315618393932.

Error when client tries to authorize the plugin while logged into Instagram.

{“error_type”: “OAuthException”, “code”: 400, “error_message”: “Your account is connected to Facebook account, and your Facebook account’s future off-Facebook activity is currently turned off.”}

How to disable the plugin on some pages? I want it to be selective.

If I deleted the plugin I get error messages.
It is not used on any of my widgets.
It keeps putting on my footer and slows down the load on my home page.
How do I control the location of the widget?
I want to remove the widget from my home page.
Thanks in advance.

Hi every one

Meks Easy Photo Feed Widget (formerly Meks Easy Instagram Widget) has stoped working on my site. I see a lot of people are asking about it, but no one has found a solution. or the plugin has not been updated for fix this.

I went to the page where I had the Instagram feed set to. I see Instagram at the top with no images.
I have looked into the google developers console and i can see 10 errors coming through
the errors are :

Specify a more permissive Cross-Origin Resource Policy to prevent a resource from being blocked
Your site tries to access an external resource that only allows same-origin usage. This behavior prevents a document from loading any non-same-origin resources which don’t explicitly grant permission to be loaded.
To solve this, add the following to the resource’s HTML response header:
Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: same-site if the resource and your site are served from the same site.
Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: cross-origin if the resource is served from another location than your website. ??If you set this header, any website can embed this resource.
10 requests

:

What does this mean?
Basically loading data from another site “in this case Instagram” is been blocked as it’s not from the same origin as your server.

I have found some snippets of code you need to add to your .htaccess file.

<ifModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
</ifModule>

* this is a wildcard say you are allowed to load data from any website, this is a security risk as it could be used for hacking. So now I need to figure out how to add domains I want to allow. EG instagram

<ifModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: “https://www.instagram.com/*&#8221;

Im still testing this. I will update

Meks Easy Photo Feed Widget (formerly Meks Easy Instagram Widget) v 1.2.3 doesn’t work any more.

Hi
After my site updated to the latest version 1.2.3 the website broke and I return a Fatal Error. I have temporarily disabled the plugin awaiting further news from developer. When the plugin is disabled, the website does recover so am hoping you can provide a fix, otherwise will have to make de-activation permanent – look forward to hearing from you.

Please find below some information from WordPress regarding the fatal error to help with resolving issue:
__________________________
Howdy!

Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Meks Easy Photo Feed Widget.

First, visit your website (https://thesailortailor.net/) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (https://thesailortailor.net/wp-admin/) and check for any visible issues.

Please contact your host for assistance with investigating this issue further.

If your site appears broken and you can’t access your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special “recovery mode”. This lets you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further.

Hi,
I’ve deleted this plugin but an error message still appears at the bottom of my website that reads:
“Required plugin “Meks Easy Photo Feed Widget” is required. Please install the plugin here. or read more detailed instruction about How to setup the plugin here”

May I know how I am able to remove the entire line from my website?

Thanks!

Hi,

No images are displayed anymore unless a large number is entered for the “Widget container size” setting (the original Instagram images are displayed in this case).

Can you look into this?

Thanks

Hi,
I have installed the plugin and click to Authorize Instagram. After clicking the Authorize button in Instagram it returns to wordpress page, but shows me that I don’t have permissions to see the page and I can’t finish this step.

The callback url is: https://mydomain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page#access_token=XXX

Any idea how can I solve this?

Thank you.

Is not a help request. Is a contribution. A tip to have square boxes when images are not square.

Defaults values to display are:
‘title’ => ‘Instagram’,
‘username_hashtag’ => ”,
‘photos_number’ => 9,
‘columns’ => 3,
‘photo_space’ => 1,
‘container_size’ => 300,
‘transient_time’ => DAY_IN_SECONDS,
‘link_text’ => __( ‘Follow’, ‘meks-easy-instagram-widget’ ),

If you move the values to display an instance the formula to calculate the container_size is:

( $container_size – ( $photo_space * ( $columns – 1 ) ) ) / $columns )

Using the defaults:

( 300 – ( 1 * ( 3-1 ) ) ) / 3 ).

Image width: 99.333

The smaller image from instagram small size is 150px.

If images on the feed does not have a square proportion the grid is horrible. To solve this i add this styles on tag using plugin editor. Take it easy, dont feel afraid, you can reinstall the plug in if you break this.

1. Select Meks easy instagram widget.
2. Select and open widget_html.php under views section
3. Searc <img tag
4. Replace the line for this:

” alt=”<?php echo esc_attr( $photo[‘caption’] ); ?>” style=”object-fit: cover; max-height: min-content; height: <?php echo absint( $instance[‘container_size’]/$instance[‘columns’] ); ?>px; width: <?php echo absint( $instance[‘container_size’]/$instance[‘columns’] ); ?>px;”>

This will change the grid view to square images fitting the image, all with same width and height.

Is important to notice that is not responsive but you can change the flex flow to fix it.

Et Voila!

Hi,

I came across your Instagram plugin on: https://colorlib.com/wp/wordpress-instagram-plugins/

In the section on your plugin, it states “you can pull content from Instagram by using a username or a hashtag”.

Could you please confirm if it is still possible to pull photos from Instagram using a hashtag?

Thank you and have a good day!
