 * This plugin no longer seems to function. No matter what user id I put in to the
   field, it returns invalid.
 * Probably a change in the instagram API, but I can’t be sure.
 * It seems most other instagram widgets aren’t working either.

 * I’m aware of the problems and promise to get a fix in place, but I don’t have
   the bandwidth right now. Please bear with me as I try to work it out.

 * Hi Tammy,
 * Same here, the plugin was working like a charm till a few weeks ago.
    Do you 
   plan to solve the issue soon or should I find another plugin?
 * Please let me know,
 * Thanks!

 * I had this issue as well, the problem is that everyone using the plugin is using
   the same client id. Likely something changed where a limit was hit, or some policy
   was violated, or an agreement/API was changed, so that client id doesn’t work
   anymore.
 * I was able to fix it by going to [http://instagram.com/developer/clients/register/](http://instagram.com/developer/clients/register/)
   and following the steps until I got my own client id. I then went to my blog,
   Plugins->Editor->Select Basic Instagram Widget->Edit “basic-instagram-widget/
   basic-instagram-widget.php”
 * Find:
    “if ( ! defined( ‘BIW_CLIENT_ID’ ) ) {“ on the next line you’ll see: define(‘
   BIW_CLIENT_ID’, ‘somecode’ );
 * Replace the somecode with your own client id. Click “Update File” and then you’re
   done!
