    We’ve used your plugin on several sites, and we love it. However, our business clients are requiring WCAG accessibility testing, and we are seeing issues:

    (1). Links open in a “_blank” window; there is no option to open in the same window.

    (2). Alt text exceeds recommended WCAG length limits

    (3). Outline is not being displayed when the link has focus.

    Is there a way to get around these issues?

    Hi @lunagraphica,

    Thank you for contacting us! We are constantly looking for ways to improve our plugin and the WCAG issues you raised would be a good addition to the Instagram Feed plugin. Currently, the best way to fix those issues is to create custom templates and directly edit the plugin’s HTML layout to fix those issues. You can follow this guide for creating custom templates: https://smashballoon.com/doc/guide-to-creating-custom-templates/

    In the meantime, I will check with my colleagues to see if the accessibility improvements you requested can be added to the plugin if they haven’t already been requested.

    Please let me know if you have details to add or questions.

    Best Regards.
