When ever you post a new photo on Instagram, the plugin will create a post with the Instagram image caption as the title, and the Instagram image in the post content. Choose to save the Instagram image to the media library and set it as the featured image of the post. No more [manual embedding Instagram images](https://intagrate.io/2020/03/how-to-embed-an-instagram-post-on-wordpress/) into your posts, let this plugin take care of it all. 1. Install the plugin 2. Log in to Instagram from the plugin’s settings page 3. Take a photo or lots on Instagram! A new post will be created with each of the photos from Instagram. Simple, right? I believe it should be easy to post your Instagram images to WordPress, without any manual effort. This plugin allows you to automatically integrate your Instagram images with your WordPress blog. What does this mean for you? A great way to republish your content on your site, or just create an awesome feed of photos in your site. ### Testimonials – WordPress Site Owners Love it Intagrate Lite provides a simple and effective approach to solving the problem of getting your Instagram images posted to WordPress sites. We’ve helped over 5,000 sites do this and is the best WordPress plugin to create posts from your Instagram images. Don’t just take our word for it though: _A great way to make a daily-photo feature_ – [Parakoos](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-way-to-make-a-daily-photo-feature/). _Awesome Plugin! Works perfectly without any errors. I used it to have a copy of my instagram photos in my blog_ – [Matthias Pabst](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/absolutely-reliable/). _Lots of options, worked perfectly_ – [hawbsl](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/worked-perfectly-242/). ### Tell me more Even though the plugin is simple to set up and get started with, there are some great features that allow you to customize how the plugin posts the images. **What about saving the Instagram images to the WordPress Media Library?** Yes it can do that! You can also choose to set the Instagram image as the post’s featured image. **Do I need to create an Instagram API app thingy?** Nope, Intagrate is 100% compatible with the [new Facebook Instagram API](https://intagrate.io/?p=1510&utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=free%20plugin%20listing&utm_campaign=intagrate-lite) and [Instagram’s API terms](https://intagrate.io/2016/05/new-name-instagram-platform-compliance/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=free%20plugin%20listing&utm_campaign=intagrate-lite). You do not have to create your own API client. **Can I customize the title of the post?** Yes, you can. It defaults to the Instagram image title, but you can add custom text and embed the Instagram title using the `%%title%%` tag. The [Pro version](https://intagrate.io/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=free%20plugin%20listing&utm_campaign=intagrate-lite) allows you to restrict the length of the caption. **Can I customize the content of the post?** Yep, It defaults to the Instagram image, but you can add custom text and embed the Instagram image using the `%%image%%` tag. You can also embed the %%title%%. You can also select the post category, format, and author. The [Pro version](https://intagrate.io/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=free%20plugin%20listing&utm_campaign=intagrate-lite) gives your lots more template tags to use. **What’s this about Pro?** Glad you asked! [Intagrate](https://intagrate.io/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=free%20plugin%20listing&utm_campaign=intagrate-lite) is the pro version of the plugin, which offers so much more. Here’s what you get over free: * Priority email support * Connect your Instagram account and access your complete Instagram media history.

Post images as posts, pages and custom post types * Multisite support * Tagging your Instagram images? Turn these hashtags into WordPress tags or another custom taxonomy. [I’m sold! Show me Intagrate](https://intagrate.io/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=free%20plugin%20listing&utm_campaign=intagrate-lite) And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, I’m always working on adding value to Intagrate. ### Disclaimer This plugin uses the Instagram(tm) API and is not endorsed or certified by Instagram or Facebook.

The developer is quite responsive as well. Unfortunately, Instagram makes it hard on him with their constand API changes and limitations but at least there is someone keeping up! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f8de5948ec5d405e6dbd879fcd62bb0ea08db03f23536a2ddd3dd17d0ce32a2e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very Useful Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-useful-plugin-1560/)󠁿 [richtl](https://profiles.wordpress.org/richtl/) July 3, 2024 We absolutely rely on Intagrate on a daily basis. The plugin does what it claims, and the support is responsive. Basically, we post product updates on instagram, then use Intagrate to pull them into our website. Good plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/89b45b2d0eebef186692fbf3f5769b2a4de53a2a44ff6048337fc45b13bfe2ab? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does the job well](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-the-job-well-145/)󠁿 [fatherb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fatherb/) July 3, 2024 Great product that connects your instagram feed to Wordpress and allows you to automatically import your pics as posts. Its had a few ups and downs with connection issues (as Meta change their API) but the developer is always willing to investigate and provide plugin updates to fix.
