Step 1: Set the Source of Your Instagram Feed

To configure your Instagram Feed widget, start by connecting a source. This article explains how to do it step by step. To begin, open your widget editor on the Sources tab.

Our Instagram Feed has several connection types. You are welcome to choose the one that suits you best.

If your Instagram Feed widget was created before August 5, 2024, the connection settings on the Sources tab may look slightly different.

If you're unsure which connection type is best for you, refer to our guide: Benefits and Differences of Instagram Feed connection types.

Account and Hashtag

By default, the widget lets you choose between two source types — Instagram Account and a specific Hashtag:

Account and Hashtag connection types only support public accounts. Make sure the profile you link is not private and has no access restrictions (e.g., age or country). If you can't remove the restrictions, use the Business Account connection type instead.

To display posts from a specific Instagram account or hashtag, simply enter the desired username (1) or hashtag (2) into the Source Type field:

Wait until posts are collected and that's it:

It’s that simple! 😊

Business Account

You can also connect your Instagram Feed via Business account authorization.

Before you start, make sure your Instagram account is a Business or Creator type.

Here's how to connect a Business Instagram account:

1

Add your username to the Source Type field and click Search:

2

Once the search is complete and the posts are collected, click Connect:

3

If you have multiple accounts and need to choose between them, click the three dots and select Switch Account:

4

Make sure all toggles are enabled and click Allow:

5

Click Done:

Awesome! Your Business account is now connected.

Combining Multiple Sources

Great news! You can add up to five Instagram sources to a single widget. This means you can add multiple usernames, several hashtags, a combination of usernames and hashtags, or even multiple accounts connected through authorization:

Now that you’ve set up the source for your Instagram Feed widget, it’s time to customize its appearance.
