[Plugin: Simply Instagram] Fatal Error

I get this error when testing on localhost. While I can authorize, the widget does not work.

the instagram server can’t communicate with your site

Why is bidirectional communication required? As I see it, I only have to POST and GET to authorize and retrieve the images from the Instagram servers?

I’m getting this error too. It looks like this program won’t work if you run it locally, like on localhost, because the plugin is designed to have to communicate with your site, which won’t happen if it’s not online. Kind of a drawback, in my humble opinion. There are numerous Instagram plugins, like Instapress and Alpine, that work just fine on a test server not connected to the Internet.

I’d love to help tweak this great plugin if it’s available in some public software repository. Otherwise, we hope to encourage you to keep improving it :-).

I’m experiencing the exact same error. Except it works fine locally, just not on my testing server.
