Thank you for using Enfold.
We are not really sure why this is happening but you can try the following steps to make it work.
1.) Add this code in the functions.php file:
add_filter('avf_instagram_activate_cron', 'avf_instagram_disable_cron', 10); function avf_instagram_disable_cron() { return false; } add_action('wp_head', function() { delete_option('avia_instagram_widgets_cache'); });
2.) Delete all instagram widget. Refresh the page.
3.) Go to the wp-content > uploads directory and delete the “avia_instagram_cache” folder. If you can’t see the folder, proceed to step 4.
4.) After the folder deletion, remove the code from the functions.php file.
5.) Refresh the dashboard page a few times.
6.) Re-add the instagram widget.
You have to follow the instruction step by step. Let us know if it helps. If it’s still not working after doing all of the above, you can use the Instagram Feed plugin temporarily.

Please open a new thread and include admin login details in private so that we can have a closer look at your site.
Best regards,
RikardFebruary 19, 2019 at 3:56 pm #1069000Just a remark: I had (and have) the exact same problem. After a little debugging I found out that Instagram issued a HTTP 429 error (»Too many requests«). Obviously the network my server is located in (hosted at Hetzner) is in some sort of a blacklist and/or issues too many requests. So it’s not Enfold to blame but Instagram/the hoster/the other users in the network segment.
Other plugins, that query Instagram directly via Javascript might still work, but this is not an option for me due to concerns about data privacy.
