    hi,

    I want to know the shortcode to make this plugin work exactly like the widget….

    I want to insert this into a post and have the fade displaying different images for a specific hashtag.

    When i use the shortcode in the description;

    ([instagram url='http://instagr.am/p/BSJRn/' size='large' addlink='no'])

    it only displays one specific static image. Does anybody know how to alter this code to display all images from #example hashtag and fade into one and other.

    Hope thats clear enough. (2:30am here and im basically sleep typing)

    Any help would be appreciated

    I have the same issue. There is only 1 static image that shows up all the time. No other url works. Has anyone found a solution to this yet?

    To be more specific:

    I am using something like this: – which is not working
    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[instagram url="http://instagram.com/p/ZGWAFkP3n4/" size="medium" addlink="no"]‘); ?>

    Only the line of code given on the plugin page works:
    [instagram url='http://instagr.am/p/BSJRn/' size='large' addlink='no']

    Why is it that one url works and not any other?

    Any suggestion welcome.

    Thanks.

    Solved!

    The issue was with the regular expression matching in the plugin file

    In the plugin file instagram-for-wordpress/wpinstagram.php the function
    function instagram_embed_shortcode was checking for a regular expression instagr.am which meant that any url which is something like instagram.com was not validated. So I changed that to

    if(($url != ”)&&((preg_match(‘/^http:\/\/instagram\.com\/p\/[a-zA-Z0-9-_]+\/$/’, $url))||(preg_match(‘/^http:\/\/instagr\.am\/p\/[a-zA-Z0-9-_]+\/$/’, $url)))):

    It works fine now.
