Hi, unfortunately this plugin was discontinued some months ago. Instagram found a way to block it and it also filed a trademark complaint against the listing here on www.ads-software.com. The plugin is no longer available. There are several existing forum threads on this. Best of luck.

Hi
A whole series of events has led to the deprecation of this plugin. First it was removed from the .org for scraping, then reinstated. Then Instagram filled a trademark complaint against my use of the word “Instagram” forcing removal once again. Finally, the Instagram website now occasionally blocks requests to their site, making the scraping method unreliable.

I released a couple of updates via GitHub to attempt to fix the issue: https://github.com/scottsweb/wp-instagram-widget but utlimately I have given up on the project.

Thanks

There is no solution as per the GitHub discussion.

In the meantime you can create a custom template part that does this. Some details can be found in the readme file.

Try adding:

.site-footer .container {
    width: 100%;
}

This container has a width set which is impacting the widget.

Might be worth contacting your host to see if they can put you on a new IP

Perhaps time for a new host then ??

Essentially there are two things that would cause your requests to be rate limited in this way:

1. Your cache time is too low, flooding Instagram with requests
2. You are using a shared hosting environment – in this instance you may share your IP with other sites that are also making requests.

Where are you hosting the sites?

Nope. There are plugins that can allow you to convert widgets to shortcodes though.
