# Problem embedding Instagram

 * Hi!
 * I have this small website and sometimes I embed an Instagram post.
 * It is working when I just paste the link. The problem is I want to set a maximum
   width, so I try to do it through the html edit of the post after I get the code
   on Instagram.
 * If I try to do it like that, it doesn’t work, I can’t even preview the post, 
   it gets stuck loading.
 * It is strange because it has worked in the past, for example in this post:
 * [http://holaquepasa.com/selena-gomez-justin-bieber-vuelven-estar-juntos/](http://holaquepasa.com/selena-gomez-justin-bieber-vuelven-estar-juntos/)
 * Any idea what the problem could be? Maybe I have installed some plugin that interferes?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi, use this in **Additional CSS** option
 *     ```
       .instagram-media {max-width: 100%!important;}
       ```
   
 * The instagram embed is an iframe and it has inline style with fixed max-width
   value of 400px, so we need to use the **!important** bit to override it.

 * Hi, thanks for your reply.
 * I have found another way on the Internet for doing it post by post. But I will
   try your solution and report today.
