Access token from another user

    Hi,

    I have a webpage, where I showed instagram feeds of other users. After recent changes to instagram API it stopped working. I followed your advice and tried to use access tokens instead user ids but I have a difficulty with access tokens. When I redeemed new access token on plugin settings page my own instagram feed (with user ID) started working: http://www.polishtravelblogs.com/tropimy/. As I need to get access tokens from all users, whose feeds I want to show I asked my friend to get her access token too. I copied the URL from the blue button on the settings page and asked her to paste it to her browser (in incognito mode to ensure she will have to login to instagram) and this way I got her access token from the URL she got after that. I used that token on her page here: http://www.polishtravelblogs.com/the-ollie-oliwia-papatanasis/ . The problem is that it shows her feed, but my instagram username. Is there a way to fix that? I cannot give access to wp-admin page to all the users, I just need their access tokens.

    Can you please help?

    Regards,
    Magdalena

    Hey MagdaQ,

    Were you able to fix the issue? It looks like there are two different feeds on these pages now: https://snag.gy/SN4Wrp.jpg

    Let me know if you still needed help with anything!

    Hey Craig,
    thanks for your reply. I’ve checked it once again 30 minutes after posting this thread and it started working automagically! I was wondering if you did something or Instagram fixed it somehow? 🙂
    Anyway, thank you, issue seems to be fixed, so I’ll resolve this thread or you can delete it.

    Regards,

    Hey Madga,

    It’s possible something was cached somewhere and it needed to regenerate to fix the issue. Glad it’s working now! Have a great rest of your week.
