How to Add an Instagram Feed to Your Divi Website

To add an Instagram feed to your Divi website, you can use a third-party plugin that provides integration with Instagram. Here’s a general guide on how to do this:

Using a Third-Party Plugin:

  1. Install and Activate a Plugin:
  • Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
    • Navigate to “Plugins” > “Add New.”
    • Search for an Instagram feed plugin. A popular option is “Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed.”
    • Install and activate the plugin.
  • Connect Your Instagram Account:
  • After activation, go to “Instagram Feed” in your WordPress dashboard.
    • Click on the “Connect an Instagram Account” button and follow the prompts to connect your Instagram account.
  • Configure the Instagram Feed Settings:
  • Once connected, configure the settings according to your preferences. You can choose the type of feed (user, hashtag, or location), the number of images to display, layout, etc.
  • Get the Shortcode or Widget Code:
  • After configuring the settings, the plugin will provide you with a shortcode or widget code.
  • Add the Shortcode to a Divi Page/Post:
  • Create a new page or edit an existing one using the Divi Builder.
    • Add a “Code” module where you want the Instagram feed to appear.
    • Paste the shortcode or widget code into the module.
    • Save or update your page.

Note:

  • The steps and options might vary depending on the Instagram feed plugin you choose.
  • Always follow the documentation provided by the plugin developer for specific instructions.
  • Make sure to comply with Instagram’s policies and terms of service.

Alternative Method:

If the plugin provides a Divi module, you may not need to use a code module. Instead, you can add the Instagram feed directly using the plugin’s module in the Divi Builder.

Remember to regularly update both your WordPress installation and the plugins for security and compatibility. As of my last update in January 2023, these general steps should help you integrate an Instagram feed into your Divi website. Always refer to the latest documentation for specific plugin details and updates.
