API Instagram auto posting stops posting after a while

    I successfully added (or activated) my instgaram account to my already existing SNAP networks, just yesterday evening. The newly added network started auto posting from my (WordPress) website ,as expected and I was happy (;-))

    After monitoring the auto posting for a while, and nothing went wrong, I went to bed (still ;-)). Alas! I got up next morning, checked on Instagram account, and realized that the auto posting from website, has stopped.

    So,I checked on the logs/history menu of my SNAP plugin, and indeed there’s indication that auto posting to my instgaram, was not going through anymore. [It looks like, somehow, Instagram is blocking my auto posting stream ]

    This is the error I now get when I test-post to instagram from my website :
    Testing …

    Array
    (
    [pgID] =>
    [isPosted] => 0
    [pDate] => 2016-05-21 00:38:00
    [Error] => Something went wrong – ERROR -LOGIN- Array
    (
    [status] => fail
    [message] => Sorry, there was a problem with your request.
    )

    )

    Array ( [pgID] => [isPosted] => 0 [pDate] => 2016-05-21 00:38:00 [Error] => Something went wrong – ERROR -LOGIN- Array ( [status] => fail [message] => Sorry, there was a problem with your request. ) )

    The plugin was able to auto post less than 40 images, in the span of about 7-8 hours, and it ceased auto posting.

    Does the instagram API puts limits on the number of posts or is the above narrated error really a plugin issue?

    Has anyone also experienced similar experience as the above? Maybe the plugin developers can tell what’s happening.

    [By the way, I am using a PRO version of the plugin]

    Have done the following, following https://www.nextscripts.com/support-faq/#a42 , but all to no avail:

    1. Have updated my Instagram app to continue posting photos
    2. My images are set to crop
    3. Have no HTML in the message format except;
    %TITLE% – %URL% –
    %HTAGS% %CATS%

    4. Open Instagram app on your tablet, logout and log back in

    5. NOW …

    The LOGS throw this error:
    – -=ERROR=- Array ( [pgID] => [isPosted] => 0 [pDate] => 2016-05-21 06:57:19 [Error] => Something went wrong – ERROR -LOGIN- Array ( [status] => fail [message] => Sorry, there was a problem with your request. ) )

    6. And the plugin test post (which normally sends a NextScripts Camel image), also throws this error:
    Testing …

    Array
    (
    [pgID] =>
    [isPosted] => 0
    [pDate] => 2016-05-21 07:03:58
    [Error] => Something went wrong – ERROR -LOGIN- Array
    (
    [status] => fail
    [message] => Sorry, there was a problem with your request.
    )

    )
    Array ( [pgID] => [isPosted] => 0 [pDate] => 2016-05-21 07:03:58 [Error] => Something went wrong – ERROR -LOGIN- Array ( [status] => fail [message] => Sorry, there was a problem with your request. ) )

    Hello,

    I am still getting:

    Array ( [pgID] => [isPosted] => 0 [pDate] => 2016-05-23 12:24:06 [Error] => Something went wrong - ERROR -LOGIN- Array ( [status] => fail [message] => Sorry, there was a problem with your request. ) )

    With the Instagram API connection and my ticket created more than a day ago, ticket #882492 , is yet to get any response from the Support. team.

    I shall really appreciate a response to my ticket from your support.

    Thanks.
