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.

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. - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [pickme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pickme/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [pickme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pickme/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [pickme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pickme/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [pickme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pickme/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [pickme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pickme/). - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [pickme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pickme/). * Thread Starter [pickme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pickme/) * (@pickme) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/instagram-feed-26/#post-12533249) * 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! - This reply was modified 6 years, 2 months ago by [pickme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pickme/). * Plugin Contributor [Marko Vasiljevic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vmarko/) * (@vmarko) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/instagram-feed-26/#post-12533367) * Hello [@pickme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pickme/) * Are you using a widget for this?
