   Several themes tried **My Problem :** Whether I use the shortcode functionality
   or insert the actual widget, it won’t display the username unfortunately.

 * Hi Anders,
 * I checked your web and I see a working widget! I didn’t quite understand your
   problem. Is it only when using the shortcode because I have tested the latest
   version and it works with public usernames.

 * Hi, sorry if I wasn’t clear enough! Yes, the widget is displayed, as well as 
   the caption and the time – but the username (which should be displayed left to
   the time) doesn’t display, even though I’ve checked that it should be displayed(
   see dropbox screenshot above)

 * Yeah, I got it. The reason for that is because you are showing images using a
   hashtag, and it shows only the hashtag you are searching for and not the owner
   username, because the username cannot be found on the code I get back from instagram
   when searching for hashtag. Check the code bellow for one image.

 * How is it possible that the plugin from Smashballoon can show the username?
 * See their demo:

 * The free version doesn’t allow you to show hashtag at all!
    Their plugin uses
   the API which requires you to login with your Instagram.
 * This plugin doesn’t do any kind of authentication and it doesn’t have any paid
   upgrades only user donations.
