Hello!
I’d like place two Instagram feeds on a webpage. The Enfold Child Instagram widget would seem like a good solution, but there seem to be certain limitations to it. I have a couple of questions concerning these.
1) First, if I place the feeds in the footer, is there a way I can hide the default widgets (Pages, Categories and Archives)? I would only like to have the IG feeds in the footer, nothing additional. Also, is there some way to display the two IG feeds side by side, instead of them appearing one on top of the other?
2) Second, is it possible to place the IG feeds anywhere else on the page but the footer or a sidebar, without using a separate plugin?
3) Finally, is it possible to customize the title font of the IG feed (the text reading ‘INSTAGRAM’ with capital letters)?
Thank you in advance!
Hey Katja,
Yes, you can have only IG and no other widgets in the footer, You need to use the Smash Ballon plugin and you can place the widget anywhere on the page with the help of the widget area or in the sidebar.
If you need further assistance please let us know.
Best regards,
VictoriaMany thanks Victoria!
I’ll try this out as soon as I can, and I’ll let you know how it works out.
Best regards,
Katja
Hey again!
The Smash Balloon plugin looks awesome, but I have one additional question. Namely, I’m creating this website for a client, and the Smash Balloon seems to require access to the IG account to be added on the website. I’d like to find a professional way of adding the IG feeds of my client, without the need to ask for their passwords. Is this something you could help me with? Is the Instagram Access Token perhaps the key to this?
Best regards,
Katja
Hi Katja,
Well, this plugin is integrated with the theme and it will be easy to work with it.
Looks like the Pro version is using the token.
Here are the docs for you:

VictoriaHello again Victoria!
As I’m working on a minimum budget here, I’d like to get back to my original questions about the widget.
1) How do I make the footer display the IG feed but not the default widgets (Pages, Categories and Archives)?
2) Is there some way to place the two IG feeds side by side, instead of one on top of the other?
3) Finally, is it possible to customize the title font of the IG feed (the text reading ‘INSTAGRAM’ with capital letters)?
Thanks,
Katja
Hi ktiilikka,
You need to go the Appearacne > Widgets and assign necessary widgets to the footer.
Could you please give us a link to your website, we need more context to be able to help you.
Best regards,
VictoriaThank you for your reply!
I have tried removing the unnecessary widgets at Appearance > Widgets, but I don’t know if I’m missing something.
I’ve prepared two different front page versions for your perusal:
– Front page 1 has a footer. I would need to get rid of the Categories and Archive widgets and ideally make the Footer columns 1 & 2 take up the whole footer space horizontally.
– Front page 2 has a sidebar that has been moved to the bottom. This one looks otherwise good, but the thumbnails appear very large and I can’t seem to change their size.
The link is in the private content.
Thanks,
Katja
(Here is the code I found in the Enfold documentation, with which I moved the sidebar to the bottom:)
/* Sidebar at the bottom in desktop and mobile */
.container {
display: flex!important;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: space-between;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}/* Sidebar */
#top .container aside {
order: 2;
flex-grow: 1;
}/* Main Content */
#top .container main {
order: 1;
flex-grow: 1;
padding: 0 50px 0 0;
}Hi ktiilikka,
Can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look?
Best regards,
VictoriaSure, here you go! (And I’m sorry, I was working on the menus earlier today, which is why the content was unaccessible for a while.)
