Plugin just stopped working

I installed this plugin about a week ago and it was working great. I’ve been compiling instagram images into a draft article for a few days and suddenly it all the links stopped embedded on Friday night and new links won’t embed either. All instagram profiles are public. It doesn’t even seem to try to embed – the copied link appears as text only.

I haven’t changed/installed anything else with my blog during that period, so not sure why it has stopped working. I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but still no luck.

Thanks for your help!

Mine has just done exactly the same. The links are showing on my drafts/editable posts but not at all on my site.

I uninstalled. I deactivated. I reactivated. I tried a different plugin. Still no joy. I updated my WP in case it was that.

Yep, I’ve even tried deactivating all my other plugins and my theme, still no luck 🙁

I’ve noticed this as well. The plugin doesn’t work, and the standard WordPress embed looks terrible too, the bottom half of the pictures are cut off. I even tried embed.ly and that didn’t work either.

Anyone have a solution?
