    Hello,

    My usecase is I have a client that would like display a hashtag from a predefined list (“new in”, “best seller”, and “classic”) and display it over the top of the image from the feed.

    Is this plugin able to do so out of the box or with some tweaking?

    Thanks!

    Hey Richard,

    The caption is contained in the “alt” tag for each of the image (img) elements that create the feed. You should be able to use javascript in order to grab and parse them out and do what you need to.

    Hopefully that’s helpful!

    Hi Craig!

    Thanks for the reply. Looking at the alt tags, they have all of the caption apart from the hashtags, unfortunately. Is this something that the plugin could display or is this an instagram limitation?

    Thanks!

    Hey again Richard,

    Ahh sorry I should have mentioned that the actual “#” symbol is removed. The hashtags should be there as plain text though. Is this not the case for you?

    Just so I’m understanding, you are showing a user feed but want to grab specific hashtags from the post’s caption and display them on top of the image if they exist in that post right?
