* Add this code to `/wp-content/plugins/yakadandada-instagram/admin/functions.php`(
after line-377, or last line)
* ```
function yi_get_access_token($code) {
$data = yinstagram_get_options('settings');
// Get cURL resource
$curl = curl_init();
// Set some options - we are passing in a useragent too here
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token',
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Access Token Request',
CURLOPT_POST => 1,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
'client_id' => $data['client_id'],
'client_secret' => $data['client_secret'],
'grant_type' => 'authorization_code',
'redirect_uri' => admin_url('admin.php?page=yinstagram/settings.php'),
'code' => $code
)
));
// Send the request & save response to $resp
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
// Close request to clear up some resources
curl_close($curl);
return $resp;
}
```
* still on `/wp-content/plugins/yakadandada-instagram/admin/functions.php` add
this code (on line-149)
* ```
$message = maybe_serialize(array('cookie' => 1, 'class' => 'error', 'msg' => 'Connection to Instagram failed.'));
$response = json_decode( yi_get_access_token($_GET['code']) );
if ( isset($response->access_token) ) {
update_option('yinstagram_access_token', $response);
$message = maybe_serialize(array('cookie' => 1, 'class' => 'updated', 'msg' => 'Connection to Instagram succeeded.'));
}
```
* so it will look like
* ```
...
} else {
$message = maybe_serialize(array('cookie' => 1, 'class' => 'error', 'msg' => $response['errors']['http_request_failed'][0]));
}
$message = maybe_serialize(array('cookie' => 1, 'class' => 'error', 'msg' => 'Connection to Instagram failed.'));

* After a good 6 hours of being infuriated, I found my way into the rabbit hole,
and found me a real error message! Problems with an SSL. Whose SSL do you ask?
Mine. Well thats funny, my site doesnt have a SSL Cert.
* So, I went into the admin/functions.php file and changed the following all I
did was add CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => 0, to not validate the SSL.:
* ```
// Set some options - we are passing in a useragent too here
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token',
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Yakadanda Instagram Access Token Request',
CURLOPT_POST => 1,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
'client_id' => $data['client_id'],
'client_secret' => $data['client_secret'],
'grant_type' => 'authorization_code',
'redirect_uri' => admin_url('admin.php?page=yinstagram/settings.php'),
'code' => $code
)
```
* to
* ```
// Set some options - we are passing in a useragent too here
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => 0,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.instagram.com/oauth/access_token',
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Yakadanda Instagram Access Token Request',
CURLOPT_POST => 1,

* I think i found a solution.
The plugin worked for my personal instagram account
but it didn’t work on a client account i was working on. So i checked his profile
and realized that on his Biography there were some corrupted characters, i just
deleted those characters and it worked!

You rock! Totally the
solution that worked for me.
