Hi,
My site has had an error with the Instagram widget for several weeks. I can’t figure out how to fix it. The message is: Instagram has returned invalid data.

I see others have had the same issue, but I received a note that I need to start my own topic.

I appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you!
Megan

Hello,

Instagram is gradually restricting the use of its public API key due to general misuse and privacy policies (totally OceanWP unrelated), which means all users will be affected by this change by 2020. Find more info on the topic here: https://www.instagram.com/developer/

You can create a new IG feed in Elementor using our Instagram Elementor widget which uses tokens (Theme Panel – My Library), and insert it on your website using Ocean Hooks or shortcodes via Text widgets.

Generate your access token using the following link: https://oceanwp.org/instagram/

Make sure that Disable implicit OAuth is unchecked in your API client settings.
Add the following URL https://oceanwp.org/instagram/ as a redirect uri in your API client settings.

You can find detailed instructions on how to get the Instagram access token here: https://docs.oceanwp.org/article/487-how-to-get-instagram-access-token
