Is it the same as the “Client ID”? That big long number at the top of the settings page?
Hello Tina,
And thank you for using our plugin.
After registering with Instagram you have all the info in the “Manage Clients” panel : http://s.wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-instagram/screenshot-3.jpg?r=609103. You need to copy the Cliend ID, Client Secret and Redirect URL from here and paste them in the Easy Instagram Settings page in your WordPress administration area.
Please let us know if you need further help.
Further help is indeed needed. Once all the info in the ‘Manage Clients’ panel is entered, and the Client ID, Client Secret, and Redirect URL are pasted, I click ‘Save Settings’, and then click ‘Instagram Login’ below that. This takes me to the authorization page on Instagram.com, and I click on ‘Authorize’. It then redirects to the WordPress login page, and when I login to my dashboard, it doesn’t continue the redirect to the Easy Instagram settings page.
Because this is broken, the settings page never updates with the User ID #, and the plugin widget won’t work. I even used a separate service to find my Instagram User ID, but it still doesn’t work.
Hello-
Thank you for sending a support request regarding this matter. We want you to have the best possible experience with our plugin, and have forwarded this issue to our technical team for review and follow-up.
We will get back to you shortly.
Hello,
You get redirected to a wrong page after authorizing the application so it must be a problem with the Redirect URI value.
Can you please make sure you have the same Redirect URI value in your Instagram application settings (Manage Clients) and in the plugin settings page ?
The Redirect URI should be http://YOUR_SITE_URL/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=easy-instagram
Thank you.
@tina,
We have corrected a typo in the instructions, sorry about that. Glad you found something that worked for you.
@rcadden,
We have updated a new version as we were having some plugin compatibility issues, as well as the instructions typo. Hope you’ll find version 1.2 meets your needs. Let us know.
Thanks for your patience,
VM
I have discovered the problem (after many hours). In the CurlHttpClient class, it is attempting to cURL a HTTPS site. cURL can be configured differently on different servers, sometimes entirely blocking HTTPS. I fixed it by inserting:
“curl_setopt($this->handler, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);”
into the “protected function _setOptions” function. Hope this helps.
@jhuang238,
We will include your fix in the next release.
Thank you for your help,

Hello ,
I have 1.2 version and i still have the same problem as rcadden .
Please help
@hkudrati,
Can you please copy-paste here the values you used in the Instagram application admin for ‘WEBSITE URL’ and ‘REDIRECT URI’ and also the ‘Application Redirect URI’ value from the plugin’s config page ?
Thank you,
VM
Please follow these steps and let us know if it works for you:
1. Open the plugin’s admin page.
2. In the same browser, open another tab, go to http://instagram.com/ and log in with your account. Do not close this tab.
3. In the first browser tab, click on ‘Instagram Login’. You should get your User ID without being redirected to the Instagram login page.
Thanks,
VM
