Hello @pickme
Thank you for your inquiry and I am happy to assist you with this.
Can you please check in your Instagram feed plugin the following:
Try going to Instagram Feed > Settings > Customize. Scroll down until you find “Cache error API recheck” and Force cache to clear on the interval (near the bottom of the page) and see if those settings are enabled.
Thank you!

Thank you for your answer. Please don’t close the topic yet.

Hi!
Their reply is this:
‘Instagram requires to implement a cache in every app. But if you go in the instagram settings panel and hit the save button, it should flush the cache.’
I am using Wolf Gram. It’s a plugin developed by the theme developer.
I will keep you updated. I’ve asked them for clarifications as to if I need to hit save every time there is a new uplodaed photo or the process will be fixed.

Their follow up reply:
‘The instagram cache and W3 Total Cache are 2 different things.
Once you post on instagram, your feed should be updated automatically and the cache flushed after about an hour, so you shouldn’t have to worry about it except if you want to force to update the images.
For W3 Total Cache I suggest setting it to flush the cache in regular interval like one or twice a day.’
According to their reply, which setting in W3 Total Cache should purge the cache in regular intervals?
Thank you!

Hello @pickme
Are you using a widget for this? Can you please share your website URL?

It is not a widget.
The feed can be provided either with a shortcode or with a WPBakery Page Builder custom element.

Hello @pickme
Once you post on instagram, your feed should be updated automatically and the cache flushed after about an hour, so you shouldn’t have to worry about it except if you want to force to update the images.
After the new mages were published on Instagram, how long have you waited before purging the cache in W3 Total Cache?
Thank you!

Hello @vmarko
I waited 24 hours to see if the new image uploaded on instagram will be displayed in the feed. It did not. Therefore, I then purged the cache in W3 Total Cache and new image appeared in the feed.
Hello @pickme
Can you please share the settings enabled in Performance>Page Cache?
Thank you!

Hello @pickme
Thank you for the information.
Checked > Cache feeds: site, categories, tags, comments
Disable this option and save all settings.
Checked > Compatibility mode
is there a specific reason that you are using this option?
Garbage collection interval: 10800
This is set quite high. You should reduce this to default 3600
Can you please also share what is the value set in Performance>Browser Cache>HTML&XML Expires header lifetime:?
Thank you!

Hello @pickme
Thank you for the information.
The TTL of page cache files is set via the “Expires header lifetime” field in the “HTML” section on the Browser Cache Settings tab.
Can you please enable set expires header, and set the Expires header lifetime: interval to 3600 (default) save all settings and purge the cache.
See if the Instagram feed gets updated after these changes.
Thank you!
