    Is it possible (now or in future versions) to set the IG images in a gallery so that a reader will go to the link in the caption instead of to the Instagram post?

    I’d like to populate a page with my new IG pics that contain links, so a reader can click the link in my IG Profile and go to that WP page and click the image they want from there.

    Thanks!

    Roland

    Hi,

    thanks for choosing Instagram Feed WD! We appreciate your feedback and constantly iterating to improve our product.

    Currently there are several options when clicking media: opening lightbox, redirecting to Instagram post, or redirecting to custom URL (same URL for the whole feed).
    There were some feature requests to make separate redirection to custom URL for each media. However this will complicate UX because media is dynamic.

    On the other hand, the feature you want is possible to implement partially.
    We will make the link in the bio clickable as well as will display “website” link next to the bio text in the header (there is a bug, it is not visible now anywhere).

    We can make links in captions clickable, even though Instagram itself doesn’t allow it :). However we can do it perhaps only in lightbox, image optimizer or blog style views.
    Please note that we can’t pull the link from the caption and make redirection on clicking media to that URL. We will do only for clicking on the link in caption itself, not clicking on media.

    We will add your request to the backlog. The first part (bio and website) will be implemented soon, the cations – later. But before implementing this feature, there are a lot of other improvements not released yet. So please stay tuned.
    Thanks again for this request.
