# Shortcodes in Widget Text

 * Hi there,
 * I note that the widget Simple Instagram Feed Widget doesn’t give me configurable
   options (for some reason) such as size and link. Why is that?
 * I am trying to get around it by using the following shortcode within the Text(
   Arbitrary text or HTML) widget:
 * [si_feed width=”266″ limit=”1″]
 * However the output displays the shortcode – not the feed. Is there some sort 
   of hook or option to make this appear? Or better yet, provide parameter options
   in your widget?
 * Thank you in advance!

 * I got at it with CSS. I adjusted the size and padding that I wanted, for just
   two images, like so:
 *     ```
       /* Instagram Feed Fix */
   
       .si_feed_widget{
       width: 320px;
       }
   
       .si_feed_widget .si_item:first-child {
       float: left;
       width: 155px;
       padding-right: 5px;
       }
   
       .si_feed_widget .si_item:last-child {
       float: right;
       width: 155px;
       padding-left: 5px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Thanks anyway!
