Plugin Pulling Hundreds of Duplicate Images and Not Updating

Noticed today my newest IG post’s image is in my media library by the hundreds! I deactivated then reactivated, and it’s still doing it. I also notice that while the plugin is seemingly importing the photos from my IG feed when it goes live (aside from this duplicate snafu), it is NOT displaying the last 5 posts on my account on my website in the footer, where I’ve placed the widget.

I have not updated to the new WordPress yet.

I am having the same trouble.

If you visit https://www.instagram.com/developer/ where at the top a recent development (enacted Dec 11th) where they seem to be turning off access to public images on Instagram. Since this particular plugin does not use the Instagram API, that requires a key to access data, then it was probably relying on the publicly available data to pull in the newest images. This particular plugin author has not posted any message about the lack of image newness. At least, this is my understanding at this time…

Please keep me posted if I discover a solution.

@carowordpress this plugin never used the Instagram API, instead the data are pulled from your public profile or public hashtags. Best way to check if your user or hashtag will work with this plugin is to open them in incognito mode in your browser.

@atelierbuco1 I used a different plugin for the time being, but it isn’t as good as this one.

@jetonr Any update as to why this was happening? Is there a fix or update that fixes it?

We have the same trouble on our website. The plugin worked perfectly until two months ago, then it started to make enormous amounts of copies in the media library and stopped update photos from Instagram. I use the latest version. I hope there is a solution in sight, otherwise I have to use another plugin 🙁

Will work on it on the next fix.
