# Use HTTPS URL for link to instagram account

 * As per the title.
 * I noticed that the link to Instagram is `http://instagram.com/[accountname]`.
   This automatically redirects to `https://www.instagram.com/[accountname]`.
 * For now I have edited the core plugin files (`instagram-feed.php`, `js/sb-instagram.
   js` and `js/sb-instagram.min.js`), in the hope that your update will reflect 
   these changes.

   The js fix can be made in sb-instagram.js lines 86 and 101.
