Instagram

Overview

You can display your Instagram feed anywhere on your page using Enfold’s Instagram widgets.

There are currently three options to display your Instagram feed:

1- Default Enfold Instagram Widget

2- Plugin addition Enfold Instagram (Smash Balloon) Widget

3- Plugin addition Instagram Feed (Smash Balloon) element

For quick setup, we would recommend default Enfold Instagram widget however if you would like to have more advanced options or having issues displaying your feed in default widget, we would recommend using Smash Balloon widget or element.

Enfold Instagram Widget

Enfold’s Instagram widget is the simplest way to display your feed. You can simply add Enfold Instagram Widget to any of your widget areas and insert your username, adjust couple of options such as column and item count and you are set!

Due to limitations of Instagram API on shared servers, you might receive “Instagram has returned invalid data” error when using default Instagram widget. If that happens to be the case, please use Smash Balloon instead.

Enfold Instagram (Smash Balloon) Widget and Element

Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed is the most advanced and popular Instagram feed plugin. Setting it up is easy and also there are no limitations since you are going to be authorizing your account.
