App does not work

I have tried the plugin and sometimes does not publish the publications, I think it is for the resolution of the featured image, I have tried many images with different resolutions, 800X600, 640X426, 640X356, 984X655, 770X512 etc and they have served me.

Hello Guys,
I had the same issue since a few hours today.

Now I have found a work around that I share with you.

The root cause of the issue probably came from Instagram in the yway they check the login and password.

But so far in the plugin code, there is a use of a sub library “mgp25/Instagram-API” and in the way it is used so far there where something like

$i = new \InstagramAPI\Instagram($username, $password, $debug);

try {
$i->login();
} catch (Exception $e) {
$e->getMessage();
exit();
}

And the problem come from the phase whith the try section where it tries to authenticate twice the user. This has worked so far, but today it does not work anymore.

The first line $i = new \InstagramAPI\Instagram($username, $password, $debug); already login the plugin to instagram.

So to make it works, now I had to put in comment the following lines (Around line 724 to 729 in wp2instagram.php )

//try {
// $i->login();
//} catch (Exception $e) {
// $e->getMessage();
// exit();
//}

And now my post are shown again in instagram.

So Roland (The author of the plugin), if you pass here I do not know if this is normal or not or if something needs to be adapted with a new version of the plugin.

I just wanted to share this tips with all of you.

Hi, Laurent! Thanks!
It WORK!!!!!!!!!

@dufour_l is this problem on the last Update , I never had a problem like this on my test :/

Hi Roland,

now on version 1.4.6, all debug info and instragam response should appear in the box dedicated to the “auto post to instagram” part in a post

My previous remark was before version 1.4.6 where we did not catch the response from Instagram and there was an error because we tried to log on twice, one with the constructor, and then with the login method.

Now it is fixed since version 1.4.4

Hi plugin developers,

I cant get this plugin to work. I’d be very happy to help you fix this problem which others are also seeing.
I’m new to this plugin. It looks great in theory. I’ve only ever installed 1.4.8. I’ve tried on 2 sites, second site is a test site with no other plugins in case there was a conflict.
I have debug turned on.
I have no trouble logging into instagram on windows chrome browser or ios app
Before posting I see

After posting I see exactly the same.

As an additional test I enabled wordpress debug messages

define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
