‘View this post on Instagram’

  • I regularly embed Instagram links into my blog, and when I do so in the editor the embed functions properly (shows the image or video). However, when I click through to my site and look through pages recently, I have noticed that the images or videos in the IG embed do not appear, but show the text ‘View this post on Instagram’.

    Steps taken so far:

    1. Deactivated recently updated plugins.
    2. Changed the embed link from https to http.
    3. Pasted in other embed links to test whether it was link specific.
    4. Purged all cached items.

    These actions didn’t change anything.

    I appreciate your help with this.

  • Hi there,

    I appreciate you reaching out for help with this issue. It sounds like you’re having trouble embedding Instagram posts on your WordPress blog.

    I have a few suggestions for troubleshooting this issue:

    1. Make sure that you’re using the latest version of WordPress and the Instagram embed plugin.?Outdated software can sometimes cause problems with embeds.
    2. Try embedding the Instagram post using the HTML code instead of the embed link. To do this, go to the Instagram post and click on the three dots in the top right corner. Then, select “Embed.” Copy the embed code and paste it into your blog post editor.
    3. Try embedding a different Instagram post. If the problem is only occurring with one specific Instagram post, it’s possible that there’s a problem with the post itself.
    4. Contact your WordPress hosting provider for support. If you’ve tried all of the above suggestions and the problem is still occurring, your hosting provider may be able to help you troubleshoot the issue.

    Recently, we faced a challenge with Instagram links not displaying correctly on this page: https://instamama.net/instagram-follower-count-checker/ as well. After exploring several solutions, we found success by integrating directly with Instagram’s API.

    Here’s how we fixed it:

    1. Register for Instagram API Access: We registered our website with the Facebook Developer program to gain access to Instagram’s Basic Display API.
    2. Implement API on the Page: Using the API, we were able to embed Instagram content directly. This method proved to be more stable and reliable than the standard embedding process.
    3. Test and Optimize: After implementing the API, we conducted thorough testing to ensure that the Instagram posts were displaying correctly, without the fallback text ‘View this post on Instagram’.

    By integrating the Instagram API, we were able to resolve the embedding issue effectively, ensuring that our page visitors can view the Instagram content as intended.
